I have a 'YES' putter at the moment which is 2/3 yeras'old and am thinking of changing.

My main problem with putting is the short putts where I peep and it drags to the left. Went for a fitting session with a pro and he said 32" was what I required.

My dilema now is what to chose as there are so many availbale. Looked at teh reviews in GM and thought between a PING Scottsdale Wolverine or the Odeyssey D.A.R.T to help with allignment.

My question is how do you chose a putter?
 
Try as many as u can until you find one you like and you can hole putts with :p

+1, i went out with £200 for a scotty, and come back with a £55.00 rossa that was on special. try them all, your know which one feels right.

I narrowed it to three then hit the putting green from 1ft, 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, with all three, the most consistent won..
 
What's your budget?

Itmay sound a little over the top but for the right club £180 would be tops. I think the DART is about £150

You'll have plenty of choice then. After all, it's not like you're going out with a £20 budget.

As has been said. Try all makes and models until you find one you can hole out with consistantly from a range of distances.

Happy hunting!
 
I would try lots of different ones on an actual putting green on 3 different days to make sure which one really feels good for me.

Also have you considered being custom fitted for a putter?

At the end of the day if your putting stroke is not consistant then your putting will vary regardless of what putter you have in your hand....lessons and practice,practice and more practice and just maybe those putts will start to drop in more regular ;)
 
I just got a Scotty Cameron Laguna 2 and can highly recommend it - an excellent putter.
 
I got a new putter a while ago Odyessy White Ice #1 and i can comfortably say it is one of the best purchases i ever bought, but what i did was try it out but then i bought it second hand on eBay and it worked a treat
 
Try them on a real green. A lot of these shop holes have sharp edges to the hole which makes it easier to hole them. You'll get a much better feel on grass with a decent ball. Other than that it is all about personal preference although I've not seen many 32 inch putters off the shelf anywhere.
