They can come and go on and off the naughty step for years or you find the one like first time.
I had 4/5 before settling on a 2 ball.

I'm on my fourth!
Lost count of all the putters I've had over the years. Down to my last last four but the odyssey in my signature is behaving impeccably and the Ping Anser 2 is there on the subs bench

Far too many. But have a real urge for a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 at the moment
Bulleye - 15yrs
Mizzie - 3yrs
Zebra - 2yrs
Ping Anser - 3yrs
Mizzie - 10 yrs
Odyssey - 12yrs, although it was on the naughty step for a few months a couple of yrs back - Scotty Red X, lovely balance but didn't like the feel.

It's nearly 2 years to the day that I first started learning this game and in that time I've had 6 putters. Just could not get anything that felt right and still only just getting a decent stroke together.
I even converted to belly putter last September was great for short putts but couldn't quite master long ones, then I had an epithany in that I loved the weight of the heavier head belly putter but preferred the length of my odyssey for feel on long putts. So what did I do? Went out and bought a standard grip and cut the belly putter down to 34inch and regripped it. The result being I now have a putter I love the weight, length and feel of so much I now am enjoying putting for the first time ever.

Only 6 in total since starting. Current putter has been in there for 3years. Although contemplating a change currently.

Who knows, probably about 20-30!!
Found the one I liked and stupidly sold it to a mate, now getting rid of everything else and buying another one.
My problem is I putt better with a mallet but hate the look of them over the ball so end up buying a blade putter and repeat the cycle.....

More than I care to remember! All sorts of brands, styles etc. One of the best I used was a Donnay that was a hand me down! That was before I started to think too much about it, which is often the problem. I've learnt that through the many putters I've had, centre shafted suit me best, with my former SeeMore FGP Mallet being a real winner. Wish I'd kept it!

Was given my Wilson TPA XVIII as payment for a caddying job 20 years ago, shes still in the bag.
Like any long term relationship we have had our ups and downs, good days, great days and the odd horror show thrown in. I would be lying if I said my head hasnt been turned in those 20 years but I always go back to old faithful.
I personally believe that putting is 90% mental and if you are riding on a wave of confidence you can putt well with anything.

I'm on my 3rd putter in 42 yrs - I just can't make up my mind...I'm just so indecisive - I think.
My first had a hickory shaft - and my putting was a bit wooden; my second a mallet head - and my putting was as subtle as if I were using a sledgehammer; and my third is neither wooden nor a mallet. Once I've sorted out my putting stroke I'm sure my putting will live up to the putter.
Might soon have a fourth though as my pro is selling a Ping Zing2 for £45 - a good price reduction is always a good reason to a Scot for buying a putter
