I have a knock off two ball putter....I kid you not it is exactly like the odyssey white 2 ball but the balls are blue.....and it is called blueball....bahaha. I love it though and it gets the job done. Whatever works for you!

Look into Yes! putters. they get the ball rolling fast, next step up would be scotty cameron which can be had for $150 used. You really should go hit a bunch to find what you like.

Here's how I fit people for putters.

I get the length down. Everyone is different so I take the measurement from an "in-stroke" position - not a static, standing position.
Lie. Super important. You want the sole of the putter parallel with the ground upon contact w/ the ball. People are goofy...so if you need it flat 4* or something, don't choose a putter that can't be modified for lie easily.
Grip = completely personal preference. Definitely seeing a trend towards larger ones though. I'd recommend giving a larger one a try.
Head. Can't go wrong w/ the good-ole' anser-style putter head. Super popular and in a ton of pga bags for a reason. Now, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to my clubs. Looks is a huge mental thing for me. So for an "unorthodox"-looking club to make it into my bag takes a legit performance justification. I'm gaming a two-ball right now.
Belly and Long putters. These are finicky things. Some people gain a TON from them. Others don't at all. 2 Things to remember about these putters: First is it's so important to have them fit properly. Second, if the worst part of your putting game is from 5 feet and in - give one a shot. Otherwise, I don't think you'll gain enough to carry one of those ugly things around.

edit: There are other factors at work here that I fit for mind you. One was touched on earlier...fitting the gated stroke with a "toe-hang" putter and the str8 back to str8 through w/ a face-balanced putter. Also, weight. Some people prefer them heavier, etc. I just wanted to spell out the big 5 and my general fitting method. Get those 5 right or comfortable and you'll have nothing to blame your putting on!

Chek out the stuff from Seemore. I love thier stuff. Best customer service ever too. Give them a call and they will help you get into the right putter for you.

Use what works. Ive been using the same putter for 12 years.

Silly thing to some people, but you can actually be fit for a putter based on the type of stroke you have. If you are a straight back straight through type of putter you generally want a face balanced putter. If you put on an arc you want either a heel or toe weighted putter. I would google putter fitting near your area.

Golfsmith dropped the price of the Ping Redwood series of putters which are phenomenal. They were $250, but were reduced to $150 when the Anser series came out. They are beautiful and amazing.

dude the odyssey backstryke is a great putter... a couple of my buddies have it and once you get used to it its one of the best 2 ball putters on the market.. pretty hard to push a putt with this thing.

if your going blade id say a scotty cameron.. you can find an awesome quality older one on ebay or kijiji around your 150$ price range.. only putters in that range with the quality milled face they have.

hope this helps

I bought a used Scotty Cameron in the 8th grade, 11 years ago. I had it refinished last year for $150 and now it looks brand new. I don't plan on ever buying another putter.

If you prefer blade style putters Scotty Camerons or Yes putters usually have better product than Taylormade. I would also recommend you look into David Whitlam putters. They're better know is Asia but there are a few Tour players using this brand. Not sure what the price range is but you can pm me if you're interested since I have a contact.

If you want a bigger mallet like the Odyssey and don't care much about looks the Taylormade Ghost Spider is one of the most forgiving putters. That means that the distance and direction will be less visible even if you don't hit the sweet spot.

Unfortunately I don't know much about Oddyssey putters :/

For me personally, it comes down to how does it feel (I personally don't like inserts, too soft) and what it looks like. Once you get a putting stroke down, it really becomes personal preference.

I would say go to the store (golfsmith, golfgalaxy, etc) and just hit as many as possible. You want to have the feeling that the putt can go in. If its pleasing to the eye and feels good off the face, then you have your winner.

Putting is far too personal and mental to just suggest a club outright.

I've tried that putter just in the store a few times. I am a VERY new player, just started picking up this year, but I really liked it. I'm using a cheap putter I got in a set for now, but upgrading eventually.

I've heard many people swear to their Pings. A new one might be hard to come by for 150 but second hand ones are perfectly fine. For some reason older Ping putters have an even better rep than their newest ones and since putters basically don't wear down, finding a second hand one could be the best choice in your golfing career.

I have my eye on the new Yes! 12 line. The white Sandy 12 looks great and feels great. Can't beat their price either.

I prefer PING Anser blade with insert.

Is it the mallet part you seem to like? What about a Rossa Corza Ghost?

I have one and love it.
