Best Blade Putters 2026 – Brand Listing
TaylorMade
TaylorMade Systm2 Putter
Taylormade has already seen five tour wins in 2026 with their Spider collection of putters so what does Systm2 offer? Well, these premium milled putters are constructed using soft 304 stainless steel. The grooves have been crafted using a saw cutter to create perfectly even depths.
Off the face it produces a crisp sound with a firm feel. This is a putter for a golfer who likes feedback when putting.

Odyssey
Odyssey Ai-One Double Wide Putter
When it comes to performance, the Ai-One Double Wide also doesn’t fail to disappoint. During testing, I felt the putter was extremely consistent on both short and long putts. The face technology worked well to reduce the impact of mishits. Additionally, the Stroke Lab 90 shaft, another highlight of this model, adds to its stability and overall control.
I have no doubts Odyssey has once again raised the bar with the Ai-One Double Wide. It blends the brand’s legendary craftsmanship with the latest in AI-driven technology to produce a putter that is as forgiving as it is beautiful.

With exceptional feel, impressive forgiveness, and sleek aesthetics, this putter stands out as one of the finest in its category. Whether you’re a blade loyalist looking for added support or simply seeking a high-performance putter, the Ai-One Double Wide is certainly worth a roll on the green.
PROS
- Exceptional forgiveness across the face of the putter
- Love the classic blade look
- Soft yet responsive feel
- Plenty of control
CONS
- None

Odyssey Ai-One Square 2 Square Double Wide Putter
I want to emphasize that while this putter may not win any beauty contests, its performance speaks for itself! I shared it with several friends at my home club, and we all agreed that its effectiveness holds the real value. So if you’re looking for a visually stunning putter, this might not be your first choice. However, if you’re focused on functionality, this could be just what you need!
Furthermore, when you first put it behind a ball to hit a putt, it seems to aim well to the left. But if you read some of the background information, you will see that there is 3.3′ of forward shaft lean which pre-sets your hands in a forward press position, and that small move of shifting your hands forward makes everything look so much better.
PROS
- Packed full of tech.
- Forgiving head still offers feedback.
- Tech promotes stable stroke.
CONS
- Lacks alignment assistance.

Scotty Cameron
Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport Putter
The Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport is a masterclass in modern putter craftsmanship. It blends classic blade aesthetics with cutting-edge feel and fitting technology, all while staying true to the brand’s relentless pursuit of perfection. Whether you’re a purist or a performance-focused golfer, this putter is built to impress, and perform, on every level.
Whether you’re a longtime Scotty Cameron loyalist or someone looking for their first blade putter, the Studio Style Newport is a real standout. With unmatched feel, meticulous craftsmanship, and a host of head options tailored to your stroke, it solidifies its place at the top of the putter hierarchy.
There is a reason Scotty Cameron putters are considered the best in class by so many. It’s pretty simple, if you want the best, start with Scotty, and chances are, you’ll never look back.
PROS
- Outstanding feel
- Looks fantastic
- A controlled roll and encourages aggressive putting
- Remarkable consistency
CONS
- Premium price point
RRP £449.00 / $499.99

Mizuno
Mizuno M.Craft Osaka Putter
Mizuno has upgraded their M.Craft series with a new Japanese 1025E carbon steel forged range. The Osaka S putter is the wide blade in the series, that is a toe hang putter.
Looking down at this putter is very inviting, there isn’t too much going on to distract. The face is textured yet produces a very smooth roll.
The Lampkin Deep Etched grip has a rustic look that works perfectly with the concept of combining heritage and modern technology.
PROS
- Looks stunning
- Great head cover
- Rolls nice off the face
CONS
- None

RRP: £299 / $299.99
Shaft lengths: 34/35”
Loft: 3°
Grip: Lamkin Deep Etched

Mizuno M.Craft Kyoto Putter
Historically I have mostly used a toe-hang putter of the Anser/Newport style, with an opening/closing stroke, much like Tiger Woods in his prime. But I’m always on the lookout for assistance.
The Kyoto felt nicely weighted, and sat nicely behind the ball. The only hint of alignment assistance is a top-edge decal, which for me acted as a sweet spot indicator rather than any aid to alignment.
When I hit the ball out of the middle of the putter, I was able to achieve good end-over-end ball roll with a nice feel at impact.
PROS
- Timeless design.
- Beautiful feel.
- Quality construction.
CONS
- You might prefer stronger alignment assistance
- Distance control with mishits might be an issue

RRP: £299 / $299.99

Grip: Lamkin Deep Etched Grey Cord
Models: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nagoya.

Rife
Rife Black Edition 001 Putter
The Rife Black Edition 001 putter is an outstanding option for players who appreciate the looks of a traditional blade but want more modern stability and feel. Its slick blackout looks, soft yet lively feedback, and outstanding value make it an easy recommendation for a wide range of golfers.
Advertisement
While the lack of adjustable weighting might deter some, it more than makes up for it with its pure roll and striking design.
A smart, serious blade for golfers who want style and substance without breaking the bank.
PROS
- Exceptional value
- Stylish blackout design
- Soft, responsive feel at impact
- Ideal for golfers with an arcing stroke
CONS
- Limited technology compared to more premium-priced options

Ping
Ping PLD Anser 2 Putter
Like me, blade putter fans will have seen this flat stick in the pro shop or from afar and wonder if this putter is worth the money. Getting it in my hands, I immediately know it is worth every penny.
The Ping PLD putter I received is the 34-inch Anser 2 in satin finish designed for a stroke with a slight arc. It differs from the Anser with a slightly longer and narrower profile and sharper corners but shares its clean square lines. The white centre alignment line is quite narrow but looks very good. It is also available in a matte black finish.
The Ping PLD milled putter review started on the putting green at my home club Sand Moor in North Leeds, with some lengthy lag putting. I really liked how nicely balanced the putter felt in my hands at address and in the swing.
After a few putts adjusting to the feel, my pace control was really good with the putter. This could be thanks to the deep AMP aggressive milling pattern on the face, which helps the ball roll quicker and more consistently.
This putter might feel expensive compared to the other putters in Ping’s lineup this year, but what you are getting with the PLD (which stands for putting lab design) is real quality. A solid block of forged 303 stainless steel requires more than four hours of milling time.

PROS
- Might just be the best-looking blade putter
- Great feel
- The ball rolls nicely off the face
CONS
- Quite pricey

Wilson
Wilson Staff Model BL22 Putter
This putter feels special. When you take the head cover off, and get a view of the precision milling, you get a feel for how much thought has been put into designing it. The design is so clean and elegant you almost don’t want to hit putts with it, but rather hang it above the fireplace at home.
Building a blade putter is harder than you think, as there will always be an army of traditionalists looking to critique what you put out there. The traditionalists are going to have a very hard time finding anything wrong with the BL22.
Once I had gotten over how nice the BL22 is to look at, I started hitting some short putts with it. I found it really easy to line up as all the lines and details of the putter sit very square. I vary between using a line on the ball and not, and either way I found it easy to point at the hole and knocked a lot of short ones in.
Moving onto longer putts and I felt like the forged 304 stainless steel head was quite soft, and I didn’t feel like the ball was coming off too fast which is sometimes what I see with heavier-headed putters. The face has quite an aggressive milling which is supposed to help get a better roll on the putts.
You won’t very easily find a better-looking blade putter on the market, and it’s more reasonably priced than the other brands in this same market. If you’re looking to update or upgrade your blade you absolutely must give this a go, you will not be disappointed.
PROS
- Beautifully shaped
- Clean and not over branded
- Feedback from the putter is top notch
CONS
- The grip doesn’t feel to match the quality of the rest of the putter.

Zebra
Zebra Milled Double-Wide Blade 003 Series Putter
On the course I felt that the 003 offered straightforward alignment for all types of putt, and I’m definitely in the camp that prefers some sort of alignment assistance when putting.
Advertisement
I also found distance control easier to achieve compared to the 004, probably due to the more forgiving head shape.
Overall this is a well-constructed and designed putter with a premium look and it does provide a quality alternative to the usual suspects , and it also comes in at a reasonable £249.99 which is almost half the price of some competitor brands.
PROS
- Aids stable stroke
- Strong alignment features.
- Choice of weights.
CONS
- Some may prefer more ‘tech’.

Ram
Ram FX-01 CNC Milled Blade Putter
I found this putter easy to line up. It has a single white alignment line and is easy on the eye behind the ball. The strike and feel off the face was interesting. It has quite a hard feel and sound to the strike, even using premium urethane balls. Nevertheless it still comes off the face quite softly which I presume is due to the CNC milling. This allowed me to make a confident stroke without feeling as if the ball was going to explode off the face. Overall I quite liked the positive feel and sound of the strike.
There is really no reason not to recommend this putter. What was most impressive is that I was only using it for a few minutes before I completely forgot the price and was comparing this with putters 2 or 3 three times the price.
PROS
- Looks great
- Midsize grip should suit most golfers
- Incredibly affordable
CONS
- None

PXG
PXG Battle Ready II Brandon Putter
Blade putters aren’t usually associated with tech-forward features, mainly due to their smaller head size. But PXG has bucked that trend here. The hollow body construction allows for significant weight redistribution, increasing the MOI, Moment of Inertia, and enhancing forgiveness on off-centre hits which is something that is rarely available in blade putters.
One of the technological features PXG has added is the S COR technology which is a lightweight polymer injected behind the ultra-thin face. Not only does this improve the overall feel and sound, but it plays a key role in pushing more mass toward the perimeter, adding to the putter’s stability and forgiveness.
I really like the PXG Battle Ready II Brandon putter. It mixes the traditional blade aesthetics with contemporary technology to create a really consistently performing putter. It’s visually stunning, impressively forgiving for a blade, and packed with tech that actually delivers. PXG’s custom fitting options allow you to get fit to optimise performance.
PROS
- Stunning design
- A soft yet responsive feel off the face
- Extremely forgiving for a blade putter
CONS
- Thicker grip than expected

PXG Hellcat ZT Putter
PXG brings blade fans into the zero torque age with a standout flatstick that feels every bit as precise as it looks. With face-balancing, forward press, and pyramid face technology, the Hellcat ZT is engineered to deliver consistency, especially on longer putts.
I admit the concept might look unusual at first glance, but its impact on face stability is impressive. On long putts especially, it excelled. I often found what I aimed is what I hit.
The forward-press shaft angle is a subtle but welcome feature. With a natural one-degree forward lean, it encourages proper hand positioning and improves roll off the face. PXG’s familiar pyramid face pattern has also been added, which aides sound, feel, and friction at impact. The result is a roll that gets up and going quickly and consistently.
PROS
- Excellent face stability
- Soft, responsive feel with crisp sound
- Built-in forward press promotes better roll
CONS
- Stock grip is square and bulky, which may not suit all players

RRP: £189.00 / $249.99

Cleveland
Cleveland HB Soft 2 Black 8S Putter
I think Cleveland’s Speed Optimised Face Technology is one of the standout features. With deeper milling at the centre and wider spacing towards the heel and toe, the face is engineered to normalise ball speed across the face.
In real terms, this means that even from off-centred strikes the ball will roll out with remarkable consistency, reducing those frustrating short misses and long past-the-hole errors. For club golfers especially, I believe this will be invaluable.
Overall, I think Cleveland’s HB Soft 2 Black 8S putter is a top-tier performer that doesn’t break the bank. It combines great feel, useful forgiveness, and modern looks in a compelling package. The satin black finish, clever face milling, and stable shaft design all contribute to what is a plain, simple and joyful putter to use on the greens.
PROS
- Sleek black satin finish and looks premium
- Available in multiple head shapes for different stroke types
- Outstanding value for a tech-rich putter
CONS
- Slant neck design may not be ideal for straight-stroke players

Toulon
Toulon Boston H3 Putter
A premium blade with a twist, the Toulon Boston H3 blends classic looks with modern stability. The long H3 hosel reduces toe hang and face rotation, making it a strong option for golfers who like a blade but prefer a straighter, more controlled stroke.
Exceptional feel and feedback are standout traits, though the £600 price tag firmly places it in the luxury category.
PROS
- Exceptional feel and feedback
- Looks great
- More stable than a traditional blade
CONS
- Premium price
- Alignment aid might be too small for some

Cobra
Cobra 3DP Tour Putters
Cobra is back with their updated 3DP Tour putters. The Grandsport 35 is a large wide blade, that combines traditional looks with a more confidence inspiring look.
There has been a lot of well thought out tech upgrades with this launch. LA GOLF™’s patented Descending Loft Technology™ is one. It utilises four different lofts across the face to optimise launch at impact. This ultimately delivered a consistent launch angle and a repeatable true roll.
PROS
- Great alignment tools
- Looks great
- Very customisable
CONS
- None
- RELATED: Read our full Cobra 3DP Tour Putters review here.
Cobra Grandsport-35 3D Printed Golf Putter
The Grandsport-35 is tailored for golfers with an arcing putting stroke, and the plumber’s neck helps deliver that familiar toe hang. I loved the head weight and swing balance, as it feels like you can take it back and let it go with a natural, flowing motion that gives you more confidence.
I think the Cobra Grandsport-35 putter is a genuine contender in the premium putter market, bringing innovation and performance in equal measure. With its blend of adjustability, forgiving design, and technological flair, it offers a lot to golfers looking for a reliable putter.
While the alignment aid may not be for everyone, from my testing it was clear the performance benefits far outweigh the aesthetics for most players.
PROS
- Exceptional stability
- Improved roll consistency
- Solid, satisfying feel off the face
- Great on both short and long putts
CONS
- Alignment aid may feel cluttered or overly busy for some
