Putters: 4 New Flatsticks to Cherish

Traversing the green can be a tricky proposition. It helps immensely to have a putter that you feel completely at peace with, one that gives you confidence as you're staring down a par-saving three-footer. To many golfers, most putters are like exes: You had a great relationship with them at one point but there's also a reason you two eventually broke up. Even the putter currently in your bag may be wearing out its welcome. Thankfully, club manufacturers keep emerging with new models that are incredibly tempting. They employ the latest weighting and material technology that lets them better stay on track during the putting stroke, soften feel, and generate more consistent performance by getting the ball rolling on target as soon as possible. You have nothing to lose by trying them out in a shop. And who knows? Maybe you'll find a more perfect mate than your current one.
