A timeless, classic tool to use in your short game, blade putters have been a staple in the bags of countless amateurs and professionals over the decades, and they’re just as useful today as they ever were. Perfect for short and mid-range putts, but you can always try your luck with long putts, too.
Simplicity is the name of the game with blade putters. By design, they’re easy to control thanks to the sleeker, more streamlined blade-like head that gave the club its name. Cutting through the air with ease on the backswing and the follow-through.
But one of the reasons they’re such a good putter is because they perfectly complement the arc putting stroke, where the putter head moves on a slight curvature, instead of a straight line. This is a natural-feeling motion for many golfers, and one that the blade putter can help you take advantage of without the need to alter your style.
The smaller head and slight arc are also ideal for better distance control; while mallet putters with a larger head and longer putter length tend to inject more power into the shot, a blade putter is better suited to short putts, so the ball shouldn't roll away from you as much.
Often made using stainless steel or carbon steel, you’ll notice an instant change in feel and feedback if you’re using a blade putter for the first time. This sensation will help you identify where you need to make changes in your swing, address, or technique in general.
Speaking of address, blade putters traditionally feature alignment aids atop the club head, so you can line up your shot for the perfect putt time and again with ease.
Beyond all their advantages on the green, blade putters make a truly stunning aesthetic addition to your bag, evoking classic games of eras gone by. An unmissable choice for lovers of golfing nostalgia. They’re a universally-loved club that was around many years ago, and will still be around for many years to come.
