Best Putters 2025: Top Picks for Forgiveness & Performance

Best Putters 2025: Top Picks for Forgiveness & Performance

We looked at six leading putters for 2025, organized by design type and the golfer each one actually fits — from tour-proven blades to high-MOI mallets built for forgiveness.

Blade

Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2

$449

345g head, ~4,800 MOI, used by 34% of PGA pros. Widely considered the gold standard in feel and precision.

Mallet

TaylorMade Spider Tour X

$349

355g head, ~6,200 MOI. True Path alignment technology, played by Rory McIlroy and Jason Day.

Mallet

Odyssey White Hot OG #7 Nano

$259

355g head, ~6,000 MOI. The #1 putter brand on Tour at 42% usage — the White Hot insert delivers a notably soft feel.

High-MOI Mallet

PXG Battle Ready II Apache

$379

380g head, 7,717 MOI — one of the most consistent putters tested.

Budget Mallet

Wilson Infinite Buckingham

$129

365g head, ~5,900 MOI. Incredible value for entry-level golfers who don't want to compromise on forgiveness.

Tech-Forward Mallet

370g head, ~6,300 MOI. Lie Angle Balance Technology, played by Adam Scott.

Blade or mallet — which should I play?

Blades like the Newport 2 reward a more arcing stroke and give the most feedback on strike quality. High-MOI mallets like the Apache or Spider Tour X are more forgiving on off-center hits, which helps most club golfers.

Do putters hold their resale value?

Tour-proven models from Scotty Cameron and Odyssey tend to hold value better than off-brand options, since demand stays consistent.
