Top New Putters for 2025

Your putter gets used more than any other club in your bag, and its ability to help you save pars—or make birdies—will often make or break your round. Some players have tried-and-true flat sticks that have been with them for years, trusted friends they know they can rely on under pressure. Other players buy new putters as often as they change gloves, searching for that magic wand that will give them confidence over testy five-footers. Basements and garages are full of putters that have been given time-outs—clubs that initially looked like they’d provide that magic until suddenly they didn’t, or a more appealing option came along.

If you’re in the market for a new putter, 2025 could be a very good year to take the plunge. Putter makers have come out with a wide range of new options this year, from blades to mallets to designs that look like they arrived from outer space, with enough different variations and customization options to suit just about any golfer.

Here’s a list of some of the top new choices that await you in your local pro shop or on the online market. Whether you utilize a straight-back/straight-through putting style, have an arc to your stroke, or any variation in between, you’re sure to find one that will fit your style and suit your eye.

TaylorMade Spider Tour S Counter Balance

There are a host of new counter-balance (CB) putters on the market for 2025—and for good reason. CB putters provide increased stability, which is ideal for players whose putting strokes aren’t as smooth and as consistent as Ben Crenshaw’s. CB putters typically have heavier grips, heavier heads, and often longer shafts, which combine to move the balance point higher in the club and help reduce the kind of twitchy hand and wrist action that can send putts offline. TaylorMade’s Spider Tour S Counter Balance offers all of those features, along with a black gunslinger look that looks deadly the minute you pick it up. TaylorMade says that its larger overall footprint and weight distribution make it the most stable of all its Tour Series models. Its white TPU Pure Roll insert is made with a blend of Surlyn and aluminum, and its grooves are angled at 45 degrees for optimal roll. It just looks like it’ll make putts. And it does. (SHOP NOW)

Cobra Agera Counter Balanced 3D Printed

The Agera Counter Balance is the above-mentioned TaylorMade’s brother from another mother. Its bat-wing design is strikingly similar, owing to the way many of today’s putter designers work to shift weight around to lower center of gravity (CG) and increase the face’s moment of inertia (MOI). This Agera has some notable differences, though. Its clubhead features a 304 stainless steel frame and lightweight carbon fiber crown and employs an intricate 3D-printed nylon lattice cartridge that helps lower its CG. In addition, its stainless-steel insert features LA GOLF’s proprietary descending loft technology (where the grove angles descend from 4 degrees to 1 degree) to mitigate delofting for optimal launch and roll. Also new from Cobra in 2025: the Supernova CB, a counter-balanced Cobra for players who prefer a fang-style putter. Decisions, decisions… (SHOP NOW)

L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i

The team at L.A.B. Golf got input from Adam Scott in the development of their new, all-aluminum OZ.1i model. The company’s first half-moon style putter, it features solid-body construction and like all LAB putters it’s 100 percent “lie angle balanced” (the source of the L.A.B. name) to help reduce torquing and keep the face squarer through the hitting area. With the OZ.1i Custom model, you have L.A.B.’s full range of custom configuration possibilities, including a counter balanced option, as well as the option to choose a 0-degree or 2-degree (vertical) shaft lean. Oh—you can choose from a variety of clubhead colors, too. (SHOP NOW)

Bettinardi Antidote Series

Bettinardi’s new Antidote models are one-piece-milled putters designed to be zero-torque and provide a repeatable, square-to-square swing path. Bettinardi achieves this, in part, by precisely placing the shaft tip at the clubheads’ centers of gravity to help them reduce twisting. The heel/toe-weighted, blade-style SB1 models feature a 303 stainless steel head with a tapered aluminum insert, while the high-MOI mallet-style SB2 offerings have a 303 stainless face paired with an aluminum body. Each putter features Bettinardi’s F.I.T. (Feel Impact Technology) face milling, which removes 55 percent of the face material for a soft, responsive feel. The SB1 and SB2 are both available in counter-balanced versions, and they’ve made lefty versions of the SB2 and SB2 counter-balanced models for southpaws. (SHOP NOW)

Newton Gravity Drac

You may know Newton for their advanced shaft technology, but late last year they debuted the Gravity putter line—five large-sweet spot models that share the same advanced tech designed to promote smoother strokes, a steadier tempo, and more confidence. Newton’s Gravity putters feature an ultra-low balance point with optimized CG—and that’s especially true in the center-shafted Drac, a fang-style putter that offers the highest MOI of any in the Gravity line. Gravity putters employ ultralight graphite shafts and heavy (380-gram) heads that help move the club’s balance point close to the clubhead, which, in turn helps you make a more natural pendulum-like putting stroke. Along with the Drac, the Gravity line includes two blade models, a mid-mallet Duke model, and an oversized clamshell mallet, the Prism. Each is its own dedicated science project, with you as the beneficiary. (SHOP NOW)

Titleist Scotty Cameron Phantoms

Titleist has added five new models to its ever-popular Scotty Cameron Phantom line for 2025. As with previous Phantom models, they’re putters that that offer the MOI and CG benefits of a mallet, but give players the feel, setup, and alignment cues of a blade. The new Phantom 5.2 and 7.2 models add to that something that many players have been clamoring for: distinctive, I-beam-style plumbing necks of the kind that are popular on Tour. The 5.2 model has a wing-back clubhead shape, while the 7.2 has a fang-style flange. For lefties, Scotty & Co. have developed left-handed versions of their Phantom 5, Phantom 11, and Phantom 11 Long Design clubs. The Phantom 5 is a compact, winged mallet with a near-face-balanced setup and mid-bend shaft; the Phantom 11’s a face-balanced, high-MOI, multi-material mallet. The Phantom 11 Long Design shares the same head shape but is offered in a 38-inch counter-balanced configuration that has a longer and heavier grip, stiffer mid-bend shaft, and heavier head weight.

Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Style

Scotty Cameron calls the 12 new models in their Studio Style series the most significant redesigns of their acclaimed blade-style putters in years. The big news revolves around the clubs’ Studio Carbon Steel insert, which has a greater damping capacity than Teryllium, stainless steel, or aluminum. And by adding a milled texture, which the company calls “chain-link face milling,” to further soften the sound at impact, the result is a next-generation blade and mid-mallet putter family with new technology designed to maximize feel and enhance performance. The 12 new models include: Studio Style Newport, Newport Plus, Newport 2, Newport 2 Plus, Newport 2.5 Plus, Squareback, Squareback 2, Squareback 2 Long Design, Fastback, Fastback Long Design, Fastback 1.5, and Catalina. The Newport 2, Newport 2.5 Plus, Fastback 1.5, and Catalina models will also be made in left-handed options. (SHOP NOW)

Odyssey Ai-ONE

When is one new putter not enough? When you’re Odyssey, and like parent company Callaway, you’re applying artificial intelligence to the design of just about everything you make. Odyssey’s newest Ai-ONE putter models feature A.I.-generated contours on the aluminum backer of the face insert to promote more consistent ball speed on off-center hits. Combined with a grooved White Hot urethane layer molded into the backer and the legendary White Hot face insert, it produces that White Hot feel that so many players have come to love—but with even more forgiveness. Your Ai-ONE choices run the gamut from the familiar Jailbird and 2-Ball designs to Rossies, Double Wides, and Broomsticks. The line includes several toe-up, square-to-square models, too, that help reduce torque in your putting stroke and keep putts online more easily. (SHOP NOW)

PING PLD Milled Anser 4D and Milled Kushin

The two new entries in PING’s Putting Lab Design series represent the latest evolutions of two of their most popular models. The PING Anser blade putter has been winning professional events for years, and this one’s milled from 303 forged stainless steel with a deeper, perimeter-weighted design that offers the look and feel of a blade with the forgiveness of a mid-mallet. Its shallow-milled face provides a slightly firmer feel than its forbears, and its less-rounded corners and ball-width cavity with alignment line inspire confidence. The new face-balanced Kushin model is wider-bodied and perimeter-weighted for high MOI, making it a good option for players with straighter putting strokes. (SHOP NOW)

Cleveland HB SOFT 2

Cleveland’s nine new entries in its HB Soft 2 line for 2025 upgrade their Speed Optimized Face Technology by syncing every head shape with a variety of stroke-specific components. All you must do is choose the one that offers the best combination of features for your stroke type and head preference from an array of models that are each synced with a complimentary hosel style, amount of toe hang, alignment system, and grip. The faces of each club feature a dynamic groove pattern that provides for more consistent ball speed across a larger area of the clubface and better distance control. Options include several HB Soft 2 Black models, and all come standard with UST Mamiya ALL-IN multi-material shafts. (SHOP NOW)

Mizuno M.Craft

You’ve probably heard it said that nothing feels like a Mizuno—and the company has gone to great lengths to reinforce that sentiment with its M.Craft series of putters. Each of the 10 new M.Craft models reflects Mizuno’s dedication to craftsmanship and is designed to provide a balance of feel, forgiveness, and adaptability. Their heads and necks are crafted from a single piece of 1025 steel. Their CNC-milled faces offer consistent feel and performance across their faces. And the milled aluminum back provides for lightweight stability and improved MOI to enhance forgiveness without sacrificing feel. Customization options include plumber, slant, and bend necks, along with head shapes from blades to mallets to fang-style, plus interchangeable weight options that can help further refine the club’s feel and swing dynamics to suit your game.
