How to choose a putter

Try length, lie, alignment and head shape on a putting surface. Compare start direction and distance control on both short and long putts; a blade or mallet label alone does not determine fit.

Neck and shaft position can change a model's balance and setup. Low-torque designs still require suitable fitting and technique. Test the exact version you intend to buy rather than assuming all heads in a family feel the same.
