If you love playing golf, buying a new putter is like purchasing a new expensive toy. New advancements in putter design can help you putt better, but most of that improvement comes at a steep price. Even though the putter is the most-used club in your bag, it is still a single club in your bag, and you will probably find that these new putters are quite costly.
There are numerous cost saving measures to take when you are purchasing yourself a new putter. One way is to look for a used putter. But many golfers think it’s too risky to buy second hand golf clubs. But if there is any golf club in your bag that makes sense to buy used, it is a putter. After all, the putter only taps the ball and you don’t hit the ground with it, so it doesn’t get the wear and tear like drivers. About the only dents a putter will get is from the josltling around in the golf bag to and from the golf course. So if you are trying to find a new putter and want a nice one, but don’t want to pay a lot, don’t forget to look at used putters – they can save you a lot of money.
One of the most advanced and most expensive putters on the market are Scotty Cameron putters. Scotty Cameron putters, manufactured by Titleist, use the best materials and have some of the coolest designs, yet retain the look and feel of traditional putters. Buying a used Scotty Cameron putter will provide you one of the highest quality putters on the market at a very affordable price. Your golfing partners will drool when you pull your new Scotty Cameron putter out on the putting green. They’ll be even more shocked when they find out it’s used that cost less than 50% of the MSRP.
Another popular brand of putter is Callawy’s Odyssey brand. Odyssey putters are well-known on the PGA tour. Knowledgable gofers consider them as being some of the most inovative putters on the market. Odyssey White Hot putters have a great feel due to the elastomer inserts used on the putter face to absorb shock and heighten the feel and touch of the putter. Oddyssey putters cost a lot so it make sense for most golfers to buy pre-owned Odyssey putter. You’ll get to putt with the most widely used brand on the PGA tour at a discount warehouse price.
One of the most beloved brands of putters are Ping putters. Ping began fashioning innovative putters more than 40 years ago and more golfers have used Ping putters overall than any other putter. Although some of the newer brands have overtaken Ping putters in recent years, Ping still features a wonderful lineup of exotic as well as traditionally-styled putters. Buying used Ping putters is a smart choice for recreational golfers who want a well-known brand-name putter like Ping but don’t want to pay the high prices.
Putting accounts for nearly half the strokes most amateurs take on the golf course. Most golfer use a putter on every hole (unless you chip in from off the green!) So it makes sense to buy a quality putter. What isn’t a good idea for most is to pay the high prices of new putters. To get a great deal and get a great putter, be sure to look for used putters from reputable used golf club resellers. You’ll look pretty smart once you start sinking all those putts!
