The main focus of REESO putters by Golf Lab has been to provide improved accuracy and improved distance control. This has been accomplished using a patented center shafted open frame mallet head design. The REESO putter family offers USGA conforming golfer adjustable lie angle and weighting for a perfect fit. Optional interchangeable shaft/grip units are available for Conventional, Belly, Long, Side Saddle and Face-On Putting Styles. For Long, Side Saddle and Face-On Putters there is an optional Adjustable Travel Shaft to facilitate travel with such long clubs. An optional custom laser fitting and training module is also available for helping the golfer with their setup, alignment and stroke fundamentals.

REESO putters are available, right or left handed, in lengths from 29 inches to 54 inches. Lie angle can be adjusted by the golfer from 11 degrees (very upright) to 22 degrees(very flat). Weight can also be adjusted by the golfer over a wide range to adapt to different playing conditions and personal preference.

The Futura putters by Titleist/Scotty Cameron are a concept that brewed for over five years before release. The signature feature of the putters lies in the unique weight distribution. The back weighted putter achieves a high moment of inertia wihich is key to achieving a square approach to the line and an enlarged sweet spot which minimizes twisting of the putter face on off center hits.

The Futura putters in look are a far cry from the traditional putter. The face of the putter is attached to a back weight that is shaped in the form of a semi circle. A quick glance would bring back memories of the Old West, and branding irons.

The actual shaft of the putter joins just behind the face. This strategic placement helps to aide in the smooth flow of swing by creating stable balance. The balance created produces a correct swing path and an effortless ball roll.

The Scotty Cameron Futura putters signify more than incredible balance, distribution, and design. They show the move toward the focus on back weighted putters for increased moment of inertia and a more pendulum like stroke. The wave of designs reflects the attention to the relativity to physics and golf. Even so, the putting tools are only effective when your score begins to decrease. If you are struggling with your putting, buying a new tool isn’t always the answer. A putter won’t be able to improve your game if your fundamentals and techniques are wrong.

Rossa Monza putters are taking a slightly different approach to putter technology. They feature a design that is free of complex configurations. Their main objective is to create putters that assist the golfer in aligning the ball to the hole, and achieving a straight roll.

The head of the Rossa Monza putters is designed around alignment and gravity. Inserted in the center of the head are two center of gravity pipes. Nestled between these two pipes is a strongly visible white aim line. This combination helps the golfer to consistently aim the shot while achieving a smooth and balanced stroke.

The mass of the head is positioned behind the actual putter face. The positioning capitalizes on achieving a high MOI. This technology is most notably recognized when making putts of difficult or awkward positions.

The positioning not only helps in difficult shots, but with smooth launch of the ball. The Rossa Monza putters design creates a smooth push to the ball, helping to eliminate the frustrating bounce on impact. The Monza golf putter designs come in three varying lengths, traditional, mid, and long. The fixed head weights vary from 345 to 440 grams; and the fixed lie angles from 70 to 78.5 degrees.

Odyssey putters represent some of the most popular putters in golf. They have consistently put forward putters that have appealed to golfers’ requirements and overall usage. The company’s main aim is to produce products that are consistently innovative, and superior to other products on the market. They continually bring out new model variations.

Odyssey putters were the first to introduce polymer club face inserts to the golfing world. The inserts enabled golfers to have a better feel of the ball when putting. The texture and substance of the material also lessened the noise of the club face hitting the ball. The insert is now available in three varying levels of softness.

The design and ingenuity of Odyssey putters have pushed them to the top of the putter arena. Their putters are available in twenty-six models, with differing mallet and blade designs. Each of these models features the polymer insert that was instrumental in their success. Their new line of putters utilizes golf ball material for the clubface insert.

Simply put there are many golf putters on the market. In the light of all the developments and innovative changes, choosing and buying a putter can be a challenge. This being said, buying a putter is not that much different from buying a car. You must determine what is right for your needs, and compare each product’s benefits and features. In addition, price, quality, and user ability are strong factors to consider. Last of all you must take it for a test drive. I strongly recommend that you try out as many putters as you can. You will have no better way of knowing until you get a real feel for the putter on the green.

Guren-Rife putters are popular on the Champions. They have consistently ranked high among the players. The putters feature adjustable weighting and solid roll.

The Guren-Rife Putters focus on the importance of the center of gravity and moment of inertia. The weight of the putter is moved low and deep, positioning itself right behind the center of the ball. This along with their “Roll Groove” face technology gives the ball a pure roll with little or no skidding.

Due to the unique design of the Guren-Rife putters, a higher MOI is achieved. Less wrist action is required thus creating a solid even contact of the face and ball. You virtually eliminate the chances of an awkward angled stroke, due to twisting of the wrist. Depending on your specific style and preference the putters are available in varying lengths from conventional to long. And, the putters offer an adjustable lie angle feature using a special tool to bend the shaft of the putter. Bending the shaft will change the face balance of the putter. And, the special soft metal shaft insert that allows the bending can only be adjusted a few times without risk of breakage.

The Guren-Rife Putters represent the traditional heel-toe weighted design with some added back weighting. The putters are very high quality and they are visually appealing.
