Whether you are a beginning golfer, or you've been at it a while and are having some difficulties putting, here are some tips you can use when choosing the putter for you. These tips will get you on your way to picking out the best putter for you.

All beginners should start with a blade putter. The blade putter is the type of putter that one considers the classic putter. It is lighter than other putters and has a smaller face and will give you the best chance to assess your putting ability. The blade putter is used by most professionals, especially those with a very straight and consistent stroke.

If you find yourself using your hands too much while putting, then you may want to look at some of the other putters that are available. The Heavy putter moves the center of gravity higher on the shaft, hence making your stroke a smoother one that takes the focus away from your wrists. The Long Putter is similar in that the center of gravity is much higher than with a blade putter, creating a pendulum like swing. The Long Putter however can make it difficult to assess distance.
