Why the Right Putter Matters?

Putting accounts for roughly 40% of the shots in an average round, yet it is the part of the bag that many players ignore when they upgrade their gear. That is a missed opportunity. A blade putter rewards a precise, repeating stroke, but most developing golfers do not yet own one of those. What they need is forgiveness: a head that resists twisting on mishits, an alignment aid that takes the guesswork out of aiming, and a balance that helps the face return square without perfect hands.

That is exactly what a modern high-MOI mallet delivers. By pushing weight to the perimeter and back of the head, these putters keep the face stable when you catch a putt out of the middle, so the ball still rolls close to your intended speed and line. The result is fewer lip-outs and short misses that quietly add three or four shots to your card. Our full range of golf putters covers every head shape, while this guide focuses on forgiving mallets that suit higher handicaps.

To build this list, our PGA professional team weighed three factors: stability on off-centre strikes, how quickly a golfer can confidently aim the putter, and value for money. We included designs at different price points and from different brands, from proven tour mallets to the new wave of zero-torque putters. For more detail, our TaylorMade Spider putters buyer’s guide is a useful companion read, and if you are unsure about length, see our guide to what putter length you need.

1. TaylorMade Spider Tour X – Best Overall

Best Mallet Putters 2026

The Spider Tour X earns our top spot because it does everything a high handicapper needs and asks very little in return. It is the putter you see winning on tour week after week, yet at £299 it is the most sensibly priced premium mallet in this guide. The large footprint and heavy perimeter weighting give it a genuinely planted feel through the stroke, which translates into steadier pace control and far less twist when you miss the centre of the face.

What sets it apart for developing golfers is the True Path alignment system. The contrasting central channel frames the ball at address and makes it obvious whether you are aimed where you think you are, a common hidden fault in amateur putting. Pair that with the soft yet responsive Pure Roll insert, and you get a putt that starts on line and holds its speed.

Who Should Buy This?

Any high- or mid-handicapper who wants one putter that works. If you struggle with aim and want the reassurance of proven technology without paying the highest price, this is the easiest recommendation in the guide. It is also a natural fit if you are exploring the wider TaylorMade range.

2. Scotty Cameron Phantom 11 OC – Runner Up

If you want the forgiveness of a mallet wrapped in the finest milled feel money can buy, the Phantom 11 OC is the putter to covet. Scotty Cameron mallets blend a stable, mid-to-high MOI head with the soft, solid impact sound that milled stainless steel is famous for. The OC, or open-cavity, construction trims weight from the centre and shifts it to the perimeter, boosting stability without making the head feel clumsy.

For a higher handicapper, this is the aspirational pick: it flatters your stroke while delivering feel and quality that last for years. The single sightline maintains alignment, and the dual-milled face produces a consistent, premium roll. At £499, it is the most expensive putter here, but also the one you are least likely ever to replace. Browse the wider Scotty Cameron collection to compare finishes and neck options.

Who Should Buy This?

The improving golfer who wants a putter to grow into and keep. If feel and craftsmanship matter to you as much as forgiveness, this is the one to treat yourself to.

3. Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Jailbird – Best Value

For the money, nothing here gives a high handicapper more help than the Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Jailbird. At £299, it matches our top pick on price while bringing the very latest zero-torque technology, which is why it takes our best value award. The clever part is in the name: by positioning the shaft just beneath the centre of gravity, the head naturally rests toe-up, and the face stays square to your path through the stroke. In plain terms, it fights the hand action that twists the face open or closed, the single biggest cause of pushed and pulled putts.

Add the famous high-contrast Versa alignment, the AI-engineered insert for consistent ball speed, and a built-in two-degree forward press, and you have a putter that almost squares itself for you. If your stroke is inconsistent and you want technology doing the heavy lifting, this is the standout. Our dedicated Odyssey Square 2 Square putters guide explains the zero-torque concept in more depth.

Who Should Buy This?

The golfer whose misses are pushes and pulls rather than poor pace. If you want the most modern technology working in your favour at a fair price, this is the value champion.

4. TaylorMade Spider ZT – Best for Zero-Torque Stability

The Spider ZT takes TaylorMade’s hugely successful Spider platform and adds zero-torque engineering, making it the most stable-feeling putter the brand makes. A preset shaft axis delivers consistent shaft lean on every stroke, which cuts down face rotation and helps you find a square, repeatable impact. The Spider Stability Frame fuses dense stainless steel with lightweight aluminium to push the MOI as high as possible, so the head stays calm even when your tempo is not.

Alignment comes from the milled True Path system, with sightlines milled to the width of a golf ball, while the Pure Roll insert promotes a smooth forward roll. It comes in 33, 34 and 35-inch options, plus counterbalance models for extra stability. At £449, it sits at the premium end, but pairs the latest technology with the trusted Spider name. Our TaylorMade Spider ZT review covers it in full.

Who Should Buy This?

Spider fans who want the newest technology and any golfer with a straighter stroke are chasing maximum stability. The counterbalance versions are ideal if you tend to get handsy under pressure.

5. Odyssey Damascus Milled Jailbird Mini – Also Great

The Damascus Milled Jailbird Mini is the alignment specialist of the group and a beautiful object in its own right. The distinctive twin-rail Jailbird shape gives you a clear, structured frame to set the ball against, which is a real help for any golfer who struggles to start putts on line under pressure. The mini-mallet head is more compact than a full Spider or Phantom, so it appeals to players who want forgiveness without a large footprint behind the ball.

Each head is fully milled from premium stainless steel and fitted with a striking Damascus steel insert, the back surface of which is AI-shaped to keep ball speeds consistent across the face. A double-bend, SL90 counterbalance shaft creates a face-balanced setup that suits a straight stroke and smooths out tempo. At £499, it is a premium piece, but it delivers alignment confidence and milled quality in equal measure. See how it compares in our Odyssey Damascus putter guide.

Who Should Buy This?

The golfer who aims poorly and wants the clearest possible alignment frame, plus anyone who prefers a smaller mallet but still wants forgiveness and premium feel.

Player Profile Recommendations

How We Chose Our Top 5

Our PGA professional team assessed each putter against the things that genuinely move the needle for higher handicappers. Stability came first: we favoured high-MOI mallet and zero-torque designs that resist twisting on off-centre strikes, because consistent pace and line on mishits is where most strokes are saved. Alignment came next, since aiming the putter correctly is a hidden weakness for many amateurs, so the bolder and clearer the sightline, the higher the putter scored.

We then weighed feel, build quality, and value, making sure the list spread across price points and brands rather than five versions of the same thing. Every putter featured is a current model covered by our 60-Day Returns Policy, so that you can judge it on your own greens. We do not rank by sales; we rank by what will help you hole more putts.

Quick Verdict on the Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters

PING has raised the bar for performance mallets in 2025 with the Ping Scottsdale TEC (Putters Tour Elevated Concepts) range – a collection of premium, multi-material mallets built around the clever Eye-Q alignment system and a fitting philosophy that genuinely matches putter to stroke type.

All seven models are priced at £349 each – premium territory, but justified by 100% milled aluminium bodies, 304 stainless steel soleplates, a one-piece PEBAX face insert for exceptional feel, and stroke-specific hosel engineering.

Whether you have a straight, slight-arc, or strong-arc stroke, there is a Scottsdale TEC built specifically for your motion. Two “onset” hosel models offer a completely unobstructed view of the ball, making alignment more intuitive than almost anything else on the market. A counter-balanced (CB) option is also available for those seeking additional stroke stability.

Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters: At a Glance

All models feature: Eye-Q Alignment Technology | One-Piece PEBAX Insert | Matte Black Stepless Steel Shaft | PING SuperStroke 2.0 Pistol Tour Grip (standard) | 100% Milled Aluminium Body | 304 SS Soleplate

Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters: Everything You Need to Know

Putting accounts for roughly 40% of all strokes in a typical round of golf, yet it remains the most underinvested part of many golfers’ bags. A putter that does not suit your stroke type, alignment habits, or visual preferences will cost you shots on every green – no matter how well you hit the ball from the tee or approach.

That is the problem PING set out to solve with the Scottsdale TEC (Tour Elevated Concepts) range, and the results are genuinely impressive.

Developed through extensive research in the PING Putting Lab and shaped by direct feedback from Tour professionals, the PING Scottsdale TEC putters introduce Eye-Q alignment technology, a multi-material mallet construction, and a stroke-fitting philosophy that matches each model to a specific putting motion.

The range comprises seven models spanning three fundamental stroke types – straight arc, slight arc, and strong arc – and includes two “onset” hosel designs that PING claims are among the clearest-sighting putter configurations they have ever produced.

At The Golf Shop Online, we stock the full line of Ping Scottsdale TEC putters, and our team of PGA professionals is on hand to help you identify which model best suits your game. If you are also building or upgrading the rest of your golf club setup, you might want to explore our recent reviews of the Ping G740 irons and the Ping G440 Max Fairway Woods, two excellent PING offerings that would complete a formidable bag.

For short game help beyond the putter, our review of the Ping Bunkr Sand Wedge is also well worth a read.

This guide covers everything – from the science behind the Eye-Q alignment system and the PEBAX insert, to a detailed breakdown of all seven models and an honest decision framework to help you pick the right one. All models are priced at £349 and are available now from The Golf Shop Online with free standard UK delivery on orders over £30.

Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters

Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters – Technology Explained

The Scottsdale TEC range is built on three core pillars: a revolutionary alignment system, a multi-material construction approach, and stroke-specific fitting. Understanding each of these will help you appreciate why these putters perform differently from anything else at this price point.

Fit for Stroke: Why Torque Matching Matters

One of the most important innovations in the Scottsdale TEC range is PING’s explicit commitment to matching each model’s hosel to the golfer’s natural stroke arc. This is not a new concept in putter fitting – it has been a fundamental principle for decades – but the Scottsdale TEC is one of the few ranges at this price point where all three primary arc types are covered with dedicated, purpose-built hosels rather than approximate solutions.

The underlying physics is relatively straightforward. During a putting stroke, the putter head naturally rotates around a point near the hands. The degree to which the face opens and closes during this rotation depends on where the hosel is placed relative to the centre of the face.

If the hosel is too far from the face’s natural rotation point (creating high “toe hang”), the face will want to rotate more, which suits a golfer with a pronounced arc. Conversely, a face-balanced putter (zero or near-zero toe hang) resists rotation and suits a golfer with a straight-through stroke. Fitting the hosel to the stroke ensures the putter works with your natural motion rather than against it, reducing torque and improving direction consistency.

The 7 Models Reviewed

1. Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters Hayden Model – Best for Straight Arc Strokes

The Hayden is the headline model in the Scottsdale TEC range and the clearest expression of PING’s design intent. A high-MOI mallet designed specifically for golfers with a straight putting stroke, it features a 360g head weight, a full-shaft offset and a double-bend hosel that provides a clean, square look at address.

The multi-material construction – milled aluminium body over a 304 stainless steel soleplate – delivers exceptional stability and a premium finish that rivals putters costing considerably more.

The Haydens ‘ double-bend hosel is engineered to bring the putter close to face-balanced, meaning the face resists rotation throughout the stroke. For a golfer with a straight-through motion, this means the putter naturally works in harmony with the stroke rather than fighting it. The 360g head weight sits in a sweet spot for most standard-length configurations – heavy enough to provide a confident, pendulum-like feel without becoming unwieldy.

Who Should Buy the Hayden? Golfers with a straight or near-straight putting stroke who want a high-MOI mallet with exceptional feel and a clean, uncluttered look at address. It suits players who rely on a shoulder-rocking motion and want their putter to remain as stable and consistent as possible throughout the stroke.

2. Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters – Ally Blue Onset – Clearest Sightline in the Range

The Ally Blue Onset is one of the most distinctive putters in the entire PING catalogue. The onset hosel places the shaft behind the top rail and near the centre line of the head, which provides a completely unobstructed, full-face view of the ball at address. If you have ever felt that a conventional hosel position partly obscures your line or creates visual clutter at setup, the Ally Blue Onset is designed to eliminate that.

Engineered for a straight stroke type, the 370g head’s centre of gravity is positioned behind the shaft axis. This means the putter is effectively “pulled” through the stroke by the head’s mass, creating an inherently stable motion that reduces the temptation to steer or manipulate the putter face. Combined with the Eye-Q alignment dot and line, this is one of the most aimed-at-the-target, start-on-line putter configurations available in 2025.

Who Should Buy the Ally Blue Onset? Straight arc golfers who have struggled with aim or who feel that conventional hosel positions visually interfere with their setup. This is an outstanding choice for players who want maximum clarity at address combined with a modern, high-forgiveness mallet shape.

3. Ping Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset CB – Maximum Stability for Straight Arc Players

The Ally Blue Onset CB is essentially the Ally Blue Onset with an added layer of stroke-stabilising technology. Counter-balancing the onset hosel model takes what is already one of the most alignment-friendly putters in the range and makes it even more forgiving of hand and wrist movement during the stroke. The 370g head and multi-material construction ensure high forgiveness, and the combination of the onset’s clear sightline with the CB’s quieter hands effect makes this the most stable and easy-to-aim model in the Scottsdale TEC range.

The CB configuration uses the PING SuperStroke 1.0 at 17 inches rather than the standard Pistol Tour grip, and the shaft is correspondingly longer to accommodate the extended setup. The balance point shifts noticeably higher up the club compared to the standard Ally Blue Onset, and even a brief trial putt reveals just how much calmer and more pendulum-like the stroke sensation becomes. For golfers who feel that their hands “take over” during pressure putts, this model is specifically designed to reduce that tendency.

Who Should Buy the Ally Blue Onset CB? Straight arc players who want the maximum level of stability and hand-quieting available in the range. An excellent choice for those who feel inconsistent under pressure or who have experimented with anchored or braced putting styles in the past.

4. Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters – Ally Blue H – The Slight Arc Workhorse

The Ally Blue H is the slight-arc stroke model within the Scottsdale TEC range, and, given that a slight arc is the most common stroke type among recreational and club-level golfers, it may well be the most widely applicable in the collection. It uses an Anser-style plumber’s neck hosel with a 90-degree angle that visually complements its modern square mallet shape, while providing a full-shaft offset for a clear view of the Eye-Q alignment aids.

The 370g head is the heaviest in the range (shared with the Onset models), which gives the Ally Blue H a deliberate, planted quality that many golfers find reassuring. The plumber’s Neck creates a moderate degree of toe hang – enough to work in harmony with the slight inside-to-square arc of the stroke, but not so much that it feels over-rotating.

The multi-material design shifts weight to the head’s perimeter, delivering maximum MOI and stability on off-centre hits. For a golfer who falls into the “slight arc” category but has perhaps been playing with a straight or strongly arced putter, moving to the Ally Blue H can produce an immediate and noticeable improvement in direction consistency.

Who Should Buy the Ally Blue H? The ideal choice for the majority of amateur golfers with a natural slight arc stroke. If you are upgrading from an older mallet and want a modern, high-performance option designed around the most common putting motion, the Ally Blue H is an excellent starting point.

5. Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters – Ally Blue H CB – Counter-Balanced for Slight Arc Players

The Ally Blue H CB retains all the stroke-fitting benefits of the Ally Blue H but adds a counter-balanced configuration for players who want a smoother, more hands-passive stroke. The plumber’s neck hosel remains, maintaining the slight arc stroke fit, but the PING SuperStroke 1.0 (17-inch) grip and longer shaft shift the balance point high up the club to reduce hand and wrist activity during the stroke.

This model is particularly well-suited to players with a slight arc stroke who find their tempo or hand speed varies, especially on longer putts. The CB effect provides a “safety net” for the stroke – the heavier grip and extended length encourage a smooth, metronomic motion rather than a forced or jabbing one.

PING’s counter-balanced models have found favour among Tour professionals seeking more consistency under pressure, and this principle translates equally well to club golf.

Who Should Buy the Ally Blue H CB? Slight arc players who struggle with tempo consistency, particularly those who feel they “stab” at the ball or suffer from hand tension during important putts. Also well-suited to golfers who have used or enjoyed longer putters in the past.

6. Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters – Ketsch Onset – Different Shape, Same Alignment Clarity

The Ketsch Onset brings the onset hosel concept to PING’s well-established Ketsch head shape. This rounded, more traditionally proportioned mallet offers a subtly different visual profile to the more angular Ally Blue models.

Designed for a slight arc stroke, the Ketsch Onset uses a 350g head (lighter than the Ally Blue options) and an onset hosel that positions the shaft behind the leading edge for a full-face view of the ball. The lighter head weight gives the Ketsch Onset a slightly livelier, more feedback-rich feel compared to its heavier stablemates.

For golfers who prefer the rounded profile of the Ketsch shape to the square mallet silhouette of the Ally Blue range, this is a compelling option. The onset hosel provides the same alignment-enhancing benefits as the Ally Blue Onset, while the Ketsch head shape gives an altogether different feel at address.

The Eye-Q alignment dot and line work just as effectively here, making this a strong choice for slightly arc players who want maximum visual clarity without committing to the Ally Blue aesthetic.

Who Should Buy the Ketsch Onset? Slight arc players who prefer a rounder, more traditional mallet visual and want the alignment advantages of the onset hosel without the angular profile of the Ally Blue range. Also appealing to golfers who feel that lighter head weights offer more distance feel on longer putts.

7. Ping Scottsdale TEC Putters – Ketsch 4 – Built for the Strong Arc Player

The Ketsch 4 is the sole strong-arc model in the Ping Scottsdale TEC putters range, and it is a fascinating engineering exercise in delivering significant toe hang within a high-MOI mallet head.

An Anser 4-style hosel (also referred to as a slant neck) is used to create more toe hang than any other Scottsdale TEC model, catering to golfers with a naturally rotating, arc-based putting motion. This is the configuration most often requested by Tour professionals with a more “old school” putting style, and PING has engineered the Ketsch 4 to deliver it without sacrificing the extreme forgiveness of the Ketsch mallet shape.

The 365g head sits between the 350g Ketsch Onset and the 370g Ally Blue models, and the 3/4 shaft offset is noticeably different from the full shaft offset of most of the range – another deliberate fitting decision that affects how the face presents at address for a strong arc player.

The Ketsch 4 is the most distinctive model in the range in terms of its fitting philosophy, and for golfers with a strong, rotating stroke, it may well be the single most important putter in the Scottsdale TEC family.

Who Should Buy the Ketsch 4? Golfers with a confirmed strong arc stroke who have previously felt that conventional mallets fight their natural motion. Particularly suited to players who have historically preferred blades or half-mallet designs for their toe hang characteristics but want the added forgiveness of a high-MOI head.

Final Verdict

Hayden

A clean, premium high-MOI mallet for straight arc players. The best conventional setup option in the range, with exceptional feel and forgiveness.

Ally Blue Onset

The standout model for straight arc players who prioritise alignment. The onset hosel is genuinely impressive in how much clearer it makes the setup, and the 370g head weight gives a planted, confident feel.

Ally Blue Onset CB

The maximum stability option in the range. An ideal choice for players who want the alignment clarity of the onset design combined with a smoother, hands-quieted stroke.

Ally Blue H

The most broadly applicable model in the collection. If you have a slight arc stroke and want a premium mallet upgrade, start here. The plumber’s neck hosel and 370g head are an excellent combination.

Ally Blue H CB

An excellent evolution of the Ally Blue H for players seeking extra tempo and stroke consistency. The CB effect is tangible from the first putt and well worth the adaptation period.

Ketsch Onset

The onset hosel in a rounded mallet head – a compelling combination for slight arc players who prefer the Ketsch shape. The lighter 350g head weight offers a livelier, more feedback-rich alternative to the 370g Ally Blue models.

Ketsch 4

A genuinely important model for strong arc players who have struggled to find a mallet that works with their stroke. The slant neck hosel and 3/4 shaft offset are correctly engineered for a rotating motion, while the Ketsch head shape still provides substantial forgiveness.

Scotty Cameron Phantom 5: At a Glance

All Phantom 5 models feature: Studio Carbon Steel Insert, Chain-Link Milling, Dual-Milled Face, Flush Sole Plate, Full Contact Grip

The Scotty Cameron Phantom 5: Tour-Proven Putting Performance

Scotty Cameron putters occupy a unique position in the world of golf. They are simultaneously the choice of some of the greatest players in history and among the most sought-after putters for club golfers who take their game seriously. The Phantom range represents Scotty Cameron’s most sophisticated mallet designs — and the Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 is rapidly becoming the standard-bearer of the entire collection.

What makes the Phantom 5 special is the way it balances modern high-MOI mallet performance with a look and feel that neither intimidates nor overwhelms. The mid-sized mallet shape is clean and uncluttered at address, the alignment aids are purposeful without being distracting, and the Studio Carbon Steel insert delivers an immediately and unmistakably premium feel. This is a putter that inspires confidence from the moment you sole it behind the ball.

Developed in close collaboration with Tour professionals and crafted in Scotty Cameron’s renowned Titleist golf studios, the Phantom 5 brings the precision and craftsmanship that has made Scotty Cameron the world’s most respected putter brand directly to your game. Whether you are a single-figure handicapper looking for a putter that will hold up under competitive pressure, or a mid-handicapper who wants to take putting more seriously, the Phantom 5 deserves serious consideration.

Key Features & Technology Explained

Why Buy the Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 Putter?

The putting green is where rounds are won and lost, and yet it is an area of the game that many golfers under-invest in. A premium putter is not merely a luxury — for a golfer who plays regularly, it is one of the highest-return investments they can make.

Putting accounts for roughly 40% of all shots in a round of golf, and even a modest improvement — one or two fewer three-putts per round — can produce significant handicap reductions over a season.

The Phantom 5 earns its price tag through genuine performance differentiation. The combination of the SCS insert’s feel, the dual-milled face’s consistency, and the high-MOI mallet’s stability produces a putter that performs reliably across all green speeds and conditions.

Whether you are facing a fast, slick downhiller under pressure or a sluggish uphill putt on a slower course, the Phantom 5 gives you the feedback and consistency to manage those situations confidently.

There is also the matter of the Scotty Cameron name itself. These putters are crafted with extraordinary attention to detail at every stage of production. The tolerances to which the face is milled, the precision of the sole plate fitment, the quality of the Full Contact grip — every element reflects a commitment to craftsmanship that is evident the moment you pick the putter up. You are not simply buying a putting tool; you are buying a precision instrument shaped by decades of Tour-level feedback.

Odyssey has long been the world’s most trusted name in putters, and the Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square range marks one of the most significant leaps in putter design in recent memory. By combining a Zero Torque centre-shafted balance with the new Odyssey Ai-Dual urethane insert, this five-model line-up has been engineered to keep the face square through the stroke without conscious manipulation from the hands. If you have ever pulled a putt left or pushed one right because the face flipped at impact, this is the family of putters built specifically to fix that.

OdysseyAi-Dual Square 2 Square Range: At a Glance

All models feature: Odyssey Ai-Dual urethane insert, FRD grooves with 19 degree slope, Zero Torque centre-shaft balance, 2 degrees of forward press, and a headcover.

Why the Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Range Matters

Putting accounts for around 40 per cent of every round, yet most golfers spend a fraction of their practice time and equipment budget on the flat stick. Odyssey’s Ai-Dual Square 2 Square range is built to do something quietly remarkable: take stroke variability out of the equation by physically encouraging the face to stay square through impact.

Whether you tend to flip the face closed, leave it open, or simply lose feel under pressure, every model in this range has been engineered to neutralise those tendencies.

Our PGA professional team, led by Mark Crossfield, has spent extensive time working with the Odyssey Ai-Dual range. Across countless launch monitor sessions and fittings, the team has seen firsthand how Zero Torque balance can transform a player’s confidence on the greens.

If you have been considering upgrading from a traditional golf putter, the Square 2 Square sub-range deserves serious attention because it does the work for you, rather than asking you to manipulate the face yourself.

In this guide, we walk through every model in the Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square range, explain the technology, compare specifications side by side, and help you choose the right configuration for your stroke and your putting personality. By the end, you will know which Zero Torque putter belongs in your bag and why.

Zero Torque Technology Explained

Before diving into individual models, it is worth understanding what makes the Square 2 Square range so different from a traditional Odyssey putter. Three core technologies work together to deliver the Zero Torque promise.

Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square #7 Putter

Design Philosophy

The #7 head shape is one of the most successful designs in modern putter history, beloved for its iconic fang wings that pull mass back and out, raising the moment of inertia and stabilising off-centre strikes. The Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square #7 takes that proven shape and reorients it through a Zero Torque, centre-shafted configuration. The result is a familiar visual at address paired with a balance point that virtually eliminates face rotation through the stroke.

If you have always loved the look of the #7 but found yourself fighting the toe closing through impact, this model is built specifically for you. The fangs still frame the ball beautifully and provide perimeter weighting, but the centre-shaft setup quietly removes the rotational tendency that can creep into longer strokes.

Who Should Buy This?

• Players who already love the #7 shape and want the latest face-control technology
• Golfers with neutral or straight back, straight through strokes
• Anyone fighting a tendency to flip the face closed at impact
• Players who want a Zero Torque putter without going to a Max-sized head

Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Jailbird Putter

Design Philosophy

The Jailbird first appeared on tour to widespread interest, with its bold black-and-white Versa stripes serving as one of the most aggressive alignment systems ever developed.

The Square 2 Square Jailbird now combines that high-contrast Versa pattern with Zero Torque balance, producing a putter that not only frames the line of attack with stark visual clarity but also resists rotation through the stroke. For golfers who play with a heavy alignment, the Jailbird is a revelation.

The bold stripes run perpendicular to the target line, making it instantly obvious whether your face is square or open. Combine that with the centre-shafted Zero Torque setup, and you have a putter that practically tells you how to set up correctly and physically helps you stay there.

Who Should Buy This?

• Golfers who rely heavily on visual alignment cues
• Players with a straight back, straight through stroke
• Anyone who likes the Versa stripes but has never trusted a traditional Jailbird’s face control
• Players who tend to push or pull putts and want help squaring the face

Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max Half Ball Putter

Design Philosophy

The Max Half Ball is the central, all-rounder model in the Square 2 Square range. As the name suggests, it adds Odyssey’s revolutionary Half Ball alignment technology to the Max-sized mallet body. Half Ball framing literally outlines the back half of the ball at address, so when the ball is teed up correctly, the visual is unbroken, and you can see immediately if your face is square. Combine this alignment aid with Zero Torque centre-shaft balance, and you have one of the most beginner-friendly Tour putters Odyssey has ever produced.

For a golfer who finds it hard to commit to a line or who frequently second-guesses set-up, the Max Half Ball removes the guesswork. The framing tells you where to aim, and the Zero Torque balance keeps the face quiet through the stroke.

Who Should Buy This?

• Higher handicap golfers wanting maximum help with alignment and face control
• Players whose misses are generally directional rather than distance-based
• Anyone who has never trusted their aim and wants visual reassurance every time
• Mid-handicappers looking to lock in a more consistent putting routine

Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max Half Ball Cruiser Putter

Design Philosophy

The Cruiser is where the Square 2 Square range steps up into Tour-spec stability. Built around a heavier 380g head and a longer 38-inch shaft, the Max Half Ball Cruiser is engineered to engage your shoulders and torso, quietening the smaller hand muscles that so often introduce twitchy, jerky strokes under pressure. The 17-inch oversized grip allows multiple hand placements, including the increasingly popular arm-lock and split-handed grips that Tour pros use to take the wrists out of the equation entirely.

If you have ever stood over a four-foot putt feeling your hands tighten or your wrists tense, the Cruiser is built for exactly that scenario. The combination of mass, length, and grip size creates a putter that simply wants to swing as a pendulum, and Zero Torque balance ensures the face stays square through that pendulum motion.

Who Should Buy This?

• Players who feel their nerves in their hands during pressure putting
• Mid to high handicappers seeking the most stable Tour-style configuration
• Golfers are experimenting with arm-lock or split-handed grip styles
• Anyone who finds a standard 35-inch putter unstable in their stroke

Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max Half Ball Broomstick Putter

Design Philosophy

The Broomstick is the most specialised putter in the Square 2 Square range, designed specifically for golfers who use a long, anchored, vertical stroke. With a 48-inch shaft, a 500g head, and an upright 79-degree lie angle, it is built for golfers who set up almost vertically with the upper hand against the chest or sternum. The vertical stroke path eliminates virtually all wrist action, replacing it with a controlled, rhythmic shoulder rock.

For players who have struggled with the yips, who suffer from joint pain when bending, or who simply find the conventional putting posture uncomfortable, the Broomstick can be transformative. Adding Zero Torque balance to a 500g head means the putter wants to swing on its own line and stays square through impact without conscious manipulation.

Who Should Buy This?

• Players currently using a long or broomstick putter want Zero Torque benefits
• Golfers with back, neck, or joint issues that make conventional putting painful
• Anyone who has experimented with the yips and needs a complete reset
• Mid to senior players seeking maximum simplicity and stability on the greens

Best for Traditionalists: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square #7 (£299)

If you have used a #7 fang mallet before and loved it, the Square 2 Square version is a near-perfect upgrade. The familiar shape preserves your visual confidence at address while Zero Torque physically improves your face control.

Best for Visual Aimers: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Jailbird (£299)

High-contrast Versa stripes paired with Zero Torque create a putter that practically locks you into the line. Ideal for players who rely on bold alignment cues.

Best for Pressure Players: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max Cruiser (£339)

When nerves attack the hands, the 380g head, 38-inch shaft, and oversized 17-inch grip take over. The Cruiser is built specifically for golfers whose technique deserts them under pressure.

Best for Specialists: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max Broomstick (£339)

A 500g head, 48-inch shaft, and Zero Torque balance combine to create the most stable putter Odyssey has ever produced. The Broomstick is a serious tool for serious putting struggles, and it can be transformative for those who need it.

The Scotty Cameron Newport 2: An Icon, Reinvented

There are few names in golf equipment that carry more prestige than Scotty Cameron, and within Scotty Cameron’s storied catalogue, there is arguably no putter head shape more iconic than the Newport 2. For decades, the Newport 2 blade has been the choice of Tour winners, major champions, and serious club golfers who want the ultimate in feel, precision, and craftsmanship from their putter.

The Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 is the latest chapter in this remarkable story, a bold re-engineering of the classic shape with materials and technologies that represent the very best of what Scotty Cameron’s studios can produce.

What makes the Studio Style collection genuinely exciting is not simply the prestige of the Scotty Cameron name, but the substance of the innovations beneath it. The new Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert represents a fundamental departure from the stainless-steel face technology used in previous Newport designs.

Carbon steel offers a distinctly different feel characteristic at impact, softer, more responsive, and more communicative than stainless, and the chain-link milling pattern machined into the SCS insert takes that feel to an even higher level of refinement. Wrapped around the insert is a secondary damping compound with aerospace-inspired vibration management, ensuring that the feel reaching your hands is perfectly controlled and consistently premium.

Our PGA professionals at The Golf Shop Online understand that choosing between different Scotty Cameron putters can be a genuinely complex decision. The Studio Style range offers multiple Newport variants: Newport, Newport Plus, Newport 2, Newport 2 Plus, and Newport 2.5 Plus, and understanding the differences is important for making the right choice.

The Scotty Cameron Newport 2 is the most widely recognised and most played blade shape in the collection, offering a slightly more substantial blade profile than the original Newport, providing enhanced stability and visual confidence at address.

Key Features & Technology Explained

Why Buy the Scotty Cameron Newport 2?

The case for the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 is straightforward for any golfer who values feel, precision, and craftsmanship in their equipment. It is the putter that wins more Major championships than any other blade design in history, refashioned with materials and technologies that give it a genuine performance advantage over previous generations of the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 shape.

There is also a compelling psychological case for playing with a Scotty Cameron. Putting is as much a mental game as a physical one, and playing with a putter that you find visually beautiful, that feels extraordinary in your hands, and that carries the weight of championship history, gives many golfers a measurable boost in confidence. That confidence translates into a freer, more committed stroke, and that is the foundation of consistent putting at any level of the game.

At £449, the Newport 2 is a significant investment, but it is one that is typically made once and kept for many years. Scotty Cameron putters hold their value exceptionally well compared to other equipment categories, and the studio craftsmanship behind every head means the physical putter itself is built to last decades. When measured against the cost of a season’s green fees, the Newport 2 is a modest but potentially transformative addition to your bag.

The post 3 Unbeatable Features of the Ping Scottsdale Putters appeared first on The Golf Shop Online Blog.

Ping Prodi G Junior Clubs – golf clubs that grow when you grow.

The latest range of Ping Prodi G golf clubs offers the junior golfer the same score-lowering technology of Ping adult clubs but is custom-engineered to fit golfers of ages between 7 and 13 and between 4 5″ and 5’2″.

What sets these clubs apart from previous models is that they can be ordered fully custom-fitted, enabling the junior golfer to tailor them perfectly to their age and height. Additionally, Ping’s revolutionary “Get Golf Growing” program offers a special benefit: if you purchase at least five Ping Prodi G clubs in a single transaction, the golfer is entitled to a one-time, no-charge service to have the clubs re-shafted, lengthened, re-weighted, and re-gripped. So the bottom line is that there is no need to change the set as the junior grows between the ages of 7 and 13.

How do I work out the best fit for my child?

To make things nice and simple, use the Ping Colour Code Chart below to find the best fit. You can print this out if needed, which may help when you are measuring your child.

Working out the Lie Angle (Colour Code) is only necessary for irons, wedges, and putters.

Step One – Measure from the wrist to the floor in either inches or centimetres and find the measurement on the left-hand side of the chart. Ensure accurate measurement from the crease of the wrist. The top tip is to wear golf shoes or something similar (like trainers) that have the same heel depth.

Step Two – Measure the overall height of the junior golfer in either inches or centimetres and find the measurement along the top of the chart. Again, ensure that golf shoes or similar footwear are worn.

Step Three – Using both measurements, find the box where they intersect. For example, follow the row from the wrist to the floor measurement and stop when it intersects the column corresponding to your overall height.

This will then give you a colour. These colours refer to lie angles, with green indicating 2 degrees of upright, blue indicating 1 degree of upright, black representing the standard, red indicating 1 degree of flat, and orange indicating 2 degrees of flat. If you do not produce colour, you need to go down to green or up to orange! If you have two colours in the same box, use the darker colour. Write this colour down as you will need it to order.

What flex do I need?

Using the same method as above, re-examine the box where the two measurements intersect.

Looking up to the top of the chart, you will see the shaft flex as either regular or stiff. Again, write this down as you will need it when ordering.

What length do I need?

Using the same method, re-examine the box where the two measurements intersect. Looking to the bottom of the chart, you will see the +’s or’s that need to be added or taken off a standard length club. There are separate results for (Drivers, Fairways and Hybrids), Irons and Putters.  Again, write this down as you will need it when ordering.

What golf bag would best fit these clubs?

Using the same method, re-examine the box where the two measurements intersect. Follow the chart down, and you will see either a Ping Prodi G 30 Bag or a Ping Hoofer Prodi G34, depending on the golfer’s height.

How do I order?

Be sure to explore the products on our website by clicking this link – Ping Junior Golf Sets. You will be able to view more detailed specifications about the product, including its price. You will also see order details. Make sure you have your custom fit measurements to hand.

Could I get some advice on checking my measurements?

Yes, our professional staff are on hand from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm daily to help.

How Can I Test New Golf Clubs?

Traditionally, you can try out new clubs at a driving range, fitting centre or local golf club through demo days and custom fitting sessions.

However, they can overload you with information and give minimal insight into your suitability to the new clubs due to the small number of balls you end up hitting with each. As golfers, we all have off days, and how well we hit the ball on the day will also inevitably strongly influence our judgment of the clubs, regardless of how suitable they may be.

At the Golf Shop Online, we are now offering a solution. Alongside our “Ask the Pro” tool, we provide a 60-Day Play Better Promise on selected equipment to ensure you love your purchase as much as we know you will; otherwise, we will take it back.

This gives you a whole 60 days to try your new club, allowing you to put it through your paces in all situations, whether that’s on the range or course whilst you’re playing the golf of your life or on those days when it’s a bit more of a grind.

Although custom fitting is an excellent service and initial evaluation, customers can now eliminate the hard sell that can come with this and see exactly what their new club can do in all conditions, away from the manufactured setting of an indoor simulator. For full terms and conditions, please see our 60-Day Play Better Promise blog or contact us, and one of our expert team members will be more than happy to assist you.

Ping, renowned for custom-built golf clubs, has developed the Fit for Stroke putter fitting concept that will help you make an informed choice when selecting a putter. Having consistency on the greens is essential for shooting good scores, and by simply matching the correct putter to your stroke type should help you achieve this.

Ping offers a large range of putters; every model is face-balanced for a straight stroke, mid-hang for a slight arc, or toe-down for a strong arc. If you try a Ping putter you will see a colour sticker on the shaft identifying what stroke type that model would best suit.

What does Ping Say?

“Don’t change your stroke. Change your putter.”

Results from hundreds of player and robot tests at PING offer overwhelming scientific support for the effectiveness of fitting for stroke. In recent years more diagnostic tools and testing equipment have become available, and the results prove that a golfer’s consistency improves when their putter balance matches their stroke type. It was interesting to observe that golfers putt more consistently with stroke-appropriate models, but they also show a personal preference for these models, too. Prior to putting with them, golfers are drawn to models that fit their eye, even before they fit their stroke.”

Looking at the current Heppler range, we have listed the models below identifying which model suits your stroke type.

If you have a slight arc to your putting stroke then the below models would best suit your game.

• Ketsch
• Piper
• Piper Armlock
• Tomcat 14
• Tyne 3

If you have a straight putting stroke then the below models would best suit your game.

• Ketsch
• Piper
• Piper Armlock
• Piper C
• Tomcat 14

If you have a strong arc  putting stroke then the below models would best suit your game.
