Cleveland VP5 09 putter

Cleveland VP5 09 putter, £95

Key technology: The Cleveland VP5 09 putter has a yellow and black alignment system that detects if your hands have moved out of position or your eyes are not directly over the ball - the two main contributors to missed putts. The VP509 has a three-quarter shaft offset with a soft elastomer face insert for improved feel.

TaylorMade Rossa Kia Ma Imola 8 putter, £219

Key technology: The TaylorMade Rossa Kia Ma Imola 8 putter is milled from carbon steel for added feel and sensitivity. It has a midnight black finish to prevent sun glare.

Master craftsman Kia Ma is a legend in the high-end putter market and this is another fantastic design. The black head frames the ball superbly. The Imola 8 offers quality feel and a brilliantly weighted head. A more subtle, classic grip design would have suited the head.
