![]() Putt from one hole on the green to another hole on the green 20 to 30 feet away. Imagine if you could just two putt every green you hit and make all those 5 foot putts you leave yourself after chipping! Two hours per week is all it takes Step 1 Three putting can happen up to 5 or 6 times a round and when it does it destroys your score. Let's say you hit the driver well and get around or on the green in 2 or 3 shots on most holes. While I believe a great driver you can hit straight and consistently is the biggest asset you can have, the quickest win after that will be from being able to two-putt every single green. Bonus feature: The hole in the middle is perfect for placing over the ball and picking up like a boss.Īre you spending the majority of your time on the range? Are you reading all the golf magazine instruction sections looking for that thing to take you closer to mid handicap heaven? I know I did, but nothing got me quick wins like learning to putt. The sound is far softer and the feel is much improved over other mallet models in this category. A lot of weighty mallet putters can be hard to control for distance on faster greens but the PING Fetch acts with the feel of a blade. The hole is the bottom of this PING putter allows the missing weight to be distributed elsewhere and it makes for a freer, easier swing of the putter, with less of a "Thor's Hammer" blow on the ball. The matte black on the top frames the ball well and the sweeping head shape is confidence inspiring. I found this putter so easy to keep square because of the contrasting colors on the head. The big hole in the middle which was present on older models is not hidden under a sleek black top with channeled alignment aids. The head does not feel as heavy as most of the mallet putters out there. The feel off this insert is less marshmallow, more soft steel feel. It does have a face insert that has a texture on the surface similar to a milled steel putter. I know PING make amazing putters, but this one was far and away the best one I have tried in recent years. I gave him some short game assistance after the round, and got to try his Ping Fetch. I first encountered this putter playing with a high handicapper subscriber from my YouTube channel. That's 80% of the battle won and it's very easy to find one model in the Huntington Beach range to suit your eye, I am sure. My top tip for picking a putter is to go with what you like the look of. You get mallets, fang-style, blade and there are also center shafted models. ![]() The Huntington putters come in a wide range of head shapes. The insert can sometimes disguise poor strikes. I prefer the milled face on the Clevelands because it feels like I have more consistent roll on the ball. This is preference you should work out for yourself by hitting a few with inserts and a few with steel or metal faces from your friends' bags or in the shop. This is all about your preference in terms of "feel". Okay it's not that extreme but it gets the point across, because when you hit it with a steel putter, you notice a much firmer 'hit'. Inserts make for a very soft feel as if you're hitting something with a marshmallow or pool noodle. Milled steel faces mean the ball comes off steel of the Cleveland with a totally different feel to an insert putter. They're all very high quality, well weighted and have milled steel faces. They are all unique yet have common features. I personally own THREE, yes 3 putters from this range. This is Cleveland's best range of putters so far. It's purely a feel thing, but remember, go with what YOUR eye likes. I find the rear of the putter doesn't feel like it sits flat on the ground which is what has stopped me buying one of these putters. But this one is just so easy to align and get a decent roll, especially on slower greens. My brother in law is a 22 handicapper and after i gave him one of the older models of this putter, he instantly threw his old blade away. Callaway and Odyssey did it for us now, so you can trust that it's actually straight. Taking into account the angle of the back of the putter, and the center line on the back vs the front, everyone screws it up when they draw it themselves. People have been drawing these lines on themselves. But they went one step further and have now printed red and blue tracks to make it even easier. Pick your line, aline the putter to it and go. ![]() The contrast between the black and white two balls is what makes this putter so easy to align. It lasts an eternity whereas their previous inserts used to wear out after a lot of use. The insert produces less bouncing and skipping after the contact on the greens. Odyssey are always making more durable, more responsive inserts into the face of the putter. They tried the three-ball but that was overkill. Nothing has changed with the design of the alignment and that's because it works. The two-ball putter has been around for 20 years.
