Ping eye putter V 2023 putter ?

[Skytot]

My Ping eye putter must be at least 25 to 30 yr old , I’ve got back into golf this year and my putting is very poor ( 10.7hcp) . I’ve invested in fitted new Mizunos 923s and next I’m contemplating having a lesson & fitting for a new putter . Do you recon putters have improved in the last 25yrs like irons have ? Or will a good lesson sort me out and save some very much needed money . Spent a fortune this year catching up with golf gear .

Depends how you feel you putting is going to be honest. If it’s going well enough maybe hang on until next year to give it a good go.

There are so many putters out there and whilst I would get fitted if I wanted a new one I reckon it’s all about solid technique and being able to read the line.

To my mind, if the putter suits your eye and gives you confidence, it's a good putter no matter how old it is or how much it cost.
Putting is about you having confidence in the putter and knowing where the ball is going. Only you can decide on the putter.

The best putter is the one that gets the ball in the hole most often
It may be the one younhave, it may cost 20 quid from a charity shop or 400 from a retailer..
You just have to find it.
Go and try some but don't go with the thought of "I'm going to buy" go with "I'm going to try".

If I had a 25-year-old putter, it would be my newest one. I have about 20 putters, but I know someone with a lot more.

The latest big mallet putters with weighting at the extremes will definitely be easier to use than anything over 25 years old.

But you won't look like a player anymore.

Rory; blades and a mallet. Player.
