Best Left-Handed Putters 2024

Best Left-Handed Putters

If you're a left-handed golfer, you don't need us to tell you that finding readily available stock of left-handed golf clubs is a tough task! However, that's where we come in to help, as this list of the best putters for left-handers will discuss what makes a good putter for those lefties out there, as well as discuss the all-important availability of left-handed putters.

Most putters, including some of those featured in our best putters list - will be available in left-handed versions, but these often require a custom fit and a long wait from a manufacturer. For example, the best TaylorMade putters, best Odyssey putters and best Ping putters will, generally, have most of their putter models in a left-handed variation when custom ordered. You'll find many of the best Scotty Cameron putters only have a handful of left-handed options. 

Here, we will focus on a number of putters you can get a custom fit for, but also some left-handed putters we've found that are readily available and in stock to get your hands on quickly. We've included an excellent group of putters in this guide ranging in price and shape to suit all budgets and all putting strokes!

The Quick List

Best Left-Handed Putters

Blade putters

Odyssey Ai-One Milled Two T Putter

Odyssey are known for producing some of the best golf putters on the market and, with their newest set of releases, it's the Ai-One Milled Two T putter that really stands out, with luxurious looks making way for premium performance that won't let you down.

The big story with these newly launched putters is the use of Artificial Intelligence to create what Odyssey is calling “the most advanced insert in golf”. Looks-wise, the AI-One Milled range offers a wide variety of head shapes and, in this particular model, we see unique contours on the back of the face and a navy blue PVD finish.

In terms of performance, we felt that the feel was superb and the face provided a smooth roll with consistent speed. Despite being a blade-design, the forgiveness on off-centre strikes was also excellent, implying that the work done on the putter has increased the size of the sweet spot.

Bettinardi BB1-W Putter

The models in the new range of BB Series putters are milled from a solid block of 303 stainless steel and come in five different head shapes, some of which include armlock, flow neck and centre shafted options. In this case, we are focusing on the BB1-W, with the W in the name standing for 'Wide'.

Ranked as one of the best Bettinardi putters on the market, it's the brand's first production putter with a new Sound Slot and a new and improved Perpetual Flymill face. Along with the tech, Bettinardi have improved the Centre of Gravity which, in testing, provided a really premium feel.

At address, the BBW-1 framed the ball excellently, with the profile of the putter slightly larger than a normal blade. The main standout, for us, was the stability and feedback, which was very precise and, what's more, the roll was consistent on good strikes while the mis-hits didn’t lose much speed.

Ping PLD Anser Putter

The Ping Anser is the father of the modern blade putter and, as no range of Ping putters would be complete without an Anser model, Ping has included not one, but two Ansers in their PLD range of putters. 

Visually, we can safely say that Ping has produced two stunning-looking putters, the PLD Anser and the PLD Anser 2, which use the brand's new milled steel technology to help the club provide a better feel on impact. Along with the technology, the PLD Anser comes in an all-black matte finish and features a graphite shaft that, interestingly, does not feel any different from the steel shaft you will find on the PLD Anser 2 model. 

While this is a very sleek-looking putter, it doesn't feature an alignment tool. If that's a deal-breaker for you, then don't fret, as the PLD Anser 2 model is very similar in design but comes in a brushed steel finish that has a center alignment line on its back to help improve your accuracy. We were so impressed with the PLD Anser models that we have chosen to include them in our best blade putters guide.

Cleveland HB SOFT 2 Model 1 Putter

When it comes to the best cheap putters, Cleveland produce some of the best, with their models providing an excellent alternative without breaking the bank. In the case of the HB SOFT 2 Model 1, we see a club that has a milled face which provides good feedback, as well as a nice soft feel and a true roll on the greens.

The SOFT in the name stands for Speed Optimized Face Technology. Essentially, this is a unique face-milling pattern specifically designed to preserve ball speed on mis-hits. In testing, we found that the golf ball came off the face quite hot, which is helpful in slower conditions, and the putter was easy to line up to the target. Importantly, we were able to make a consistent, repeatable stroke.

Aesthetically, the Model 1 putter looks a lot more high-end than its price-point suggests. It’s a nice looking putter with a good quality head-cover and a premium Pistol grip. We must note that it isn't the most forgiving putter on the market, but if you are a reliable putter then this is a great option at an equally great price.

Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2.5 Plus Putter

At address, we liked how the Super Select Newport 2.5 Plus is slightly wider than some of the best Scotty Cameron putters, which we feel will appeal to a number of players. Although it's wider, it's not to the point where you could call it a wide blade or a double wide. Importantly, it sits beautifully flush on the green and the width makes the sightline longer which helped our alignment and aim.

Enjoying the forgiveness on offer, especially on longer putts, the Newport 2.5 Plus performs exceptionally well from a wide area of the face. It has two 20g tungsten weights in the heel and toe to aid forgiveness, something which stood out in our testing.

Finally, Scotty Cameron have introduced a new milling technique to the Newport 2.5 and, consequently, we thought the putter didn’t sound as loud, firm or clicky as the previous Special Select line. It wasn’t as soft as a plastic insert but, for a milled face, the acoustics were gentle on short putts, progressing nicely to something a little louder on longer putts with more feedback.

Wilson Staff Model BL22 Putter

Milled from 304 stainless steel, which gives it a classy look, the Model BL22 has a soft feel off the face and a reasonably long profile with a short, but clear, black alignment line behind the centre of the face. Overall, many will love the aesthetic of this putter!

As mentioned, the BL22 has a soft feel off the face which we thought was excellent. What's more, this putter is well balanced and its heel/toe design will suit players with an arc in their putter stroke, something which you may need to go for a fitting for to deduce.

Cobra King Grandsport-35 3D Printed Putter

When it comes to the Grandsport-35 3D Printed putter, we see a construction that Cobra says is designed to bring maximum stability. Compared to the more traditional blades, it's wider and bulkier which promotes confidence over the ball as it gives off an air of stability and forgiveness.

Cobra have made many changes to the original Grandsport-35 3D, with the brand introducing a less cluttered and classic design. Another improvement is the new three-line alignment aid that uses varying thicknesses to provide clearer visuals at address. Overall, it reminds us of the Darkspeed range, with simplicity being the key here.

Featuring Descending Loft Technology (DLT) on the face, which uses four descending lofts (4°, 3°, 2°, 1°) to mitigate de-lofting or the addition of loft through impact, we were big fans of the overall performance. In testing, the feel from out of the sweet spot was excellent and, on off-centre strikes, the feedback off the face was very good. Where it stood out, though, was the stability, with the Grandsport-35 very easy to square up and get back on the target line.

Evnroll ER2V Putter

Evnroll has determined that golfers can significantly improve their putting by simply having a putter with the correct hosel to create optimized offset, toe hang and visual set-up behind the ball at address. Armed with this knowledge, Evnroll has created the V-Series to offer golfers their preferred hosel on the Evnroll head design and in the orientation that'll match up to their stroke arc. 

From a visual perspective, this putter excels. The wide blade shape sets up perfectly and sits flush to the ground. The two dots at the front encourages you to get the shaft angle correct which, for us, was a little more upright and therefore reduced the rotation of the head during the stroke - something that should lead to more consistency.

Mallet putters

Scotty Cameron Phantom X12 2022 Putter

One of the flagship models of their 2022 range of putters, the Scotty Cameron Phantom X 12 putter is one of the highest MOI clubs on this list. As you can see from the image above, the putter has a unique star-shaped design that boasts a black aluminum face that is supported by heavier stainless steel sections on either side. This distributes the weight of the club out to its extremities, moving the center of gravity away from its center, providing superb forgiveness and feel on impact. 

That combination of brushed steel and black metal also gives the club a very crisp and stylish finish. The putter has a very clear alignment tool stretching right the way down its back and that can be used in conjunction with its T-shaped aluminum body to help strike more square through the ball. 

In testing, it provided a high-level of forgiveness and, like the rest of the high-tech Phantom range, it is a wingback mallet, designed for stability throughout the putting stroke. The surprising thing we found is that the X 12 is a lot lighter than it actually looks and it delivered in a very natural way from short and mid range.

Cleveland HB SOFT 2 Retreve Putter

The Retreve is Cleveland’s first putter with the ability to pick the ball out of the hole so, for those golfers who struggle to bend down, this really makes life so much easier. Cleveland hasn’t done this before, but Ping has been producing putters of this nature for years, like the Sigma 2 Fetch from 2018, so there is certainly a market for them.

Like the other SOFT models, it has the Speed Optimised Face Technology, the unique face-milling pattern and, in our testing, it felt extremely premium. One thing we must add is that the Retreve was a little firmer than other putters in the SOFT 2 family, probably due to the gaping ball-shaped hole behind the face. However, it produced a pleasing feel when hit out of the sweet spot.

Cobra King Vintage Cuda Putter

While Cobra may not yet be a name synonymous with the best putters, the brand is slowly, but surely, looking to change that and the recent models we have tested have performed very well. The Vintage Cuda is just an example of this, with the putter providing a forgiving feel and very stylish look.

Cobra have packed plenty of adjustability into this head, with interchangeable weights allowing you to personalize your putter to find your desired feel and control. Nominal 15g weights can move +/- 5-10g in either direction, while additional weights (5g, 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g) can be purchased separately to match your preferred head weight. 

In testing, we found that the feel off the face was not as soft as expected, but the clicky acoustics were pleasing on the ears. The Cuda is a face-balanced putter designed for a straight back and through motion and, when taking the putter back, we could feel the stability in the head, with it one of the best mallet putters on the market.

Bettinardi INOVAI 6.5 Putter

Added to the 2024 INOVAI range after previously only being available as a limited edition run, the 6.5 maximises the MOI (Moment of Inertia) via its blocky variation on a fang design. Comprised of two parts of premium metal, a 303 Stainless Steel front piece and a 6061 Military Grade Aluminium back piece, this putter screams premium.

In testing, it felt very stable throughout the stroke and, at address, it sat nice and square. Inspiring confidence when behind the ball, the dual alignment lines really made it easy to frame the ball and start it on line, which only added to the confidence aspect.

Furthermore, there wasn't a great difference in roll between the well-struck putts and the mis-hits, making this one of the most forgiving putters on the market. Along with the forgiveness, we would also recommend it as one of the best putters for high-handicap golfers.

TaylorMade Spider GT Putter

The flagship of TaylorMade's new line of Spider putters, the Spider GT, featured in our Editors Choice awards for 2022 as a high-performance putter that produces excellent stability and responsivity on the greens. The club has been updated from the Spider X, which was made of a predominantly steel frame that had tungsten weights in its rear corners. 

Improving on weight distribution, the Spider GT has two steel wings that move the weight of the club away from its center to increase its MOI and make it more stable through impact. In testing, we felt the putter provides a good roll and felt solid on impact thanks also to its new Pure Roll 2 face insert. 

As for style, TaylorMade have given this offering a very sleek, sci-fi finish, which adds to the overall quality of the club. Its top aluminum plate comes in red, silver or black and, when flipped over, you'll reveal the bright red and yellow Spider logo which completes the great finish this club has.

Odyssey Eleven Putter

A very stable and high MOI putter with a good choice of hosels, the Odyssey is a must consider if you're a high handicapper who is looking to shave shots off your round. The putter simply looks and feels the part with its brushed-steel finish, sleek design and handy alignment tool that all combine to make this a very good-looking piece of kit. 

In terms of its performance, the putter boasts a traditional, White Hot face insert that delivers an excellent feel and seems to suit mallet putters very well. Meanwhile, the clubhead features several heavyweight steel weights in each of its back corners, which aim to keep the center of gravity on the club forward and help to produce a smooth ball roll off the face of the club. 

As one of the best Odyssey putters on the market, it is both a very forgiving and stylish club which will save shots out on the golf course.

PXG Battle Ready Blackjack Putter

There's no doubt that the PXG Battle Ready Blackjack Putter will split opinions on its loud style but, looks aside, this is a very cool looking putter that will help save you shots on the greens. 

It comes with a host of customization options that help to dial in your stroke, with four sole weights on the club's back which can be adjusted to fine-tune the head. They draw the club's weight to the back to increase forgiveness of the roll of the putter, that means you can hit some very sweet putts with this club. 

The variable-sized diamond pattern of the grooves on the face aims to create more speed consistency across a wider area. This works by providing more points of contact away from the center than in the middle, which in turn ensures the initial velocity of the ball is more consistent. The feel from the face is very good and if you like the sound of golf ball on metal then you won’t be disappointed.

Ping 2022 Tomcat 14 Putter

Ping 2022 Tomcat 14 is a well-made and very forgiving high MOI putter that delivers solid performance around the greens. The looks are a little functional and the sound is a bit muted from the aluminium face, but this doesn't detract from an otherwise excellent forgiving mallet putter.

In testing, we thought that it did feel a bit weighty, but that is good for those who like to feel the weight of their flat-stick in their backswing and follow through. That also helps to improve the MOI of the putter, which has a steel plate found on its sole that helps to improve the contact you get on the golf ball. 

In this respect, the Ping 2022 Tomcat 14 is one of the most forgiving putters as the ball speed was very consistent across the face, which means any mis-hits go the same distance as a good one and therefore you are more likely to get the ball to the hole.

How we test putters

When it comes to product testing, our reviews and buyers' guides are built upon a rigorous testing procedure as well as the knowledge and experience of the test team. The putter section is headed up by Martin Hopley, one of the foremost UK equipment reviewers with over 20 years of experience. Other members of the Golf Monthly team contribute to the putter tests as well, and all writers are able to efficiently test the vast majority of the biggest product releases and convey the pros and cons eloquently.

Getting into specifics, we test the putters outdoors on real greens with premium golf balls to get a thorough understanding of design features, feel, sound and looks. Ultimately, we aim to be as insightful and honest as possible in our reviews so it is important to acknowledge that no manufacturer can buy a good review. This is because our team tells it how it is. To learn more about our methodology, see how Golf Monthly tests products in our guide. 

What to consider when buying a new putter?

The putter is probably the most important club in the bag because it can save so many shots off your scorecard. With so many different types of putters to choose from, it can sometimes be a little overwhelming, when picking the right putter for you. For that reason, we've set out several things you need to consider before purchasing a new putter, which we have set out below. 

1. Head Design

Putters come in a traditional blade, mid-mallet, or a mallet design. All three styles have positives and negatives to them for every player and luckily lots of brands implement technologies across all three.

Mallet putters tend to be much larger than blades and they usually come in various shapes and sizes. This helps in a number of ways. A lot of the time most of the weight in a mallet putter can be found in the clubface however because of its design, weight can then be redistributed to other parts of the head which can help stabilize your stroke. The weight of the putter in the perimeter of the club-head offers better balance than what can be offered from a blade putter.

Additionally, if you struggle with alignment, a mallet putter could be the way to go. Alignment plays a crucial part in putting because it is all about accuracy and a mallet putter can be beneficial here by helping your eyes line up the putt. A blade putter is a lot simpler in terms of design and will suit the traditionalists among you a lot more than some of the mallet putters pictured above. Blade putters also tend to suit players with an arc in their putting stroke because of the toe-weighted nature of the club-head.

2. Feel

Here, we’re talking not just about the feel and sound the ball makes coming off the face but how the putter feels in your hands. A quieter sound contributes to a softer feel, whereas a louder sound usually translates into a firmer feel. A firmer feel is often the product of shallow grooves or no grooves at all on the face, where sound can’t be dissipated as effectively. They work better with softer feeling golf balls, where as soft-feeling putters work best with firmer golf balls.

You can get putters with adjustable weights in the sole that will alter the feel of the putter. For example, if your stroke is quite smooth and slow, a heavier putter will encourage that more. Jerky putters may prefer a lighter putter, although opting for more weight may reduce it, depending on what your goals are.

The putter grip plays a huge roll in the confidence you feel with a putter. Get one that feels right and sits in your hands comfortably while allowing you to return the putter back to the ball squarely and consistently.

3. Looks

You should get a putter that you like the look of as the aesthetics can play a role in inspiring or diminishing confidence on the greens. Blades won’t offer as much alignment assistance but are still popular because of how they feel and the levels of forgiveness are increasing every year.

Mallet putters have more real estate, and can therefore provide more help to set the face squarely. Mid mallets are somewhere in the middle, offering a decent level of assistance without looking too cumbersome.

4. Alignment tools

It's also worth thinking about the alignment tools the putter can offer you. While some golfers may not prefer to have any aiming guides on the back of their putters, most players can seriously benefit from having an aiming line on the back of their putter which can also help to improve your focus on the ball and help you strike through the shot more square. 

5. Value

Our final tip is to think about price because while there are some premium designs out there, there are also some models which offer excellent value. All putters will propel the ball towards the hole, but they do it in different ways. If performance is more important than looks or feel, there are lots of cut-price options out there that will do a good job and you can spend more money on other areas of your bag.

While left-handed golf clubs equipment may be less readily available compared to right-handed handed golf equipment, there are still plenty of golf clubs available for lefties. But if you're still having trouble finding the clubs you want, we've put together a handy guide on how to find the best left-handed golf clubs, to help you find that. And for some examples of some of the best clubs for left-handed golfers, take a look at our guide on the best left-handed golf clubs or our guide on the best left-handed drivers.
