Putter for a beginner ?

[pete_c]

Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and i thought i'd pick your brains.
I've just started playing regularly and have just bought some Taylor Made irons.I'm now looking to add a putter and was wondering if anyone could recommend one for around £50.00.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Its going to be a clash of opinions here but you wont go wrong with a ping or titleist putter, try a few out at your closest golf store and see what length suits your height and reach, then have a nosey on ebay (stick to well regarded sellers) bargains o'plenny on there. Ive picked up woods and other kit from it having major savings over what id have to pay locally.

Good advice, personally I am not the greatest putter and have foudn that my Ping UgLe has helped

Thanks for the advice.A friend of mine recommended a Ping putter but just wanted to get other people's opinion.

try www.golfbidder.co.uk, they have loads of good 2nd hand gear, primarily a shop but it does run auctions too. On the older gear they have some good deals, but on 2007 models they are pretty much like any high street golf shop.

I have been tempted to replace my old ping anser putter with one of the harold swash "yes" putters having tried them in my local pro shop. Put i just can't bare to part with it.

oddyssey 2 ball, best putter I've owned personally but putting is just such an individual thing its hard to say.

What works for me might be totally rubbish for somebody else.

I've got an Odyssey White steel mallet head putter, and it seems to give a good roll with the ball coming off the face quite well, (the best thing about it is it doesn't do anything unexpected), and most of my bad putts are down to me.

Get yourself along to somewhere where you can try out a few (hopefully on a real putting green) and pick the best one for you.

Putting is so individual and its all about what you feel comfortable with.
