Not sure how the Ram Zebra didn't make it on the list at all... let alone not find its way to the iconic category. The Ram Zebra introduced the world to the face-balanced mallet putter. Raymond Floyd used it to win the 1976 Masters and Nick Price used it to win the 1994 British Open. Between those two periods, the Zebra was used to win countless numbers of collegiate, amateur, mini-tour, European tour, PGA tour and other world tour events. Simon needs to bow his head in shame for overlooking this revolutionary club. ;-D
Zebra putter was the unattainable holy grail for 10yo me reading golf magazines in the early 90’s.
You are exactly correct on that one
You are correct but in my experience you either loved it or hated it. But it was extremely revolutionary.
Forgotten for sure
I loved my Ram Zebra, I should really go hunting for one.
Agree with a lot of this but leaving out the original Zebra. With face balance, changeable weights ( which were never there) and alignment aid was everywhere when it came out.
I loved the original Zebra.
Keep more of these coming please! Love the insight.
I played an Odyssey 2 ball for years, but stopped at a yard sale and bought a Rossie putter for $10 and it replaced my 2 ball after the first time I used it. Have tried to go back to the 2 ball since I spent some big bucks on it, but the Rossie always come back into the bag. Love this content!
I swapped my rossie for a cheap alien putter with a milled face. My game improved first day lol
I wouldn't argue with any of these choices. The Spider has taken over in my golf group. The Bullseye was dominant. The 8802 was very popular. The Anser took over from there. The Two-ball the Spider. I'm probably missing a few. Personally I picked up an 8802 for $2 at a Goodwill and am still bagging it. Great distance control and control in general with little help. Only for use if you're stroke is good. It's all up to whatever works for you and what you like. Thanks for this terrific segment.
Thanks for this episode, great work. I agree with the assessment of the scotty cameron, odyssey putters, etc. I was hoping to see you include Bettinardi in this list or even TP Mills also.
Thanks for watching guys! Hopefully goes without saying… that any putter that works for you is the best 😉
These rankings golf videos are great!
Could you do current/new clubs as well?
One of my favorite putters is the Odyssey Backstryke 2-Ball putter. Has a great feel and is easy to aim. Thanks for the great video.
There are so many of these things that it’s hard to narrow it down. You did very well Simon
I used to own the Odyssey Red Ball putter when I started the game a few years back and I have to say it helped me greatly with my putting.
Great review and a little bit of history on the putters. Thanks for your hard work.
Used a odyssey 2 ball white hot Blade OG for years and I absolutely loved this. Now I have switched over to the scotty Newport square back 2018 and the feel is every bit like the 2 ball but not as chunky. Love this too.
I recently bought a scotty cameron circle t xperimental newport for $400 I believe there where 27 made and everyone had a different twist like different shaft location or different weighs or longer shaft etcetera
I totally agree about the Anser. Currently gaming a Ping PLD Anser II, which moved my Spider X to the corner. good video thanks!
Agreed on the original Anser. When I came back to golf after a 25 year break, I bought the PLD Anser II as well. It’s a beautiful putter. Unfortunately, my putting stroke wasn’t so good after 25 years away, and ended up getting a Phantom X12. Hopefully I’ll get that stroke under control someday because the Anser II is such an elegant putter.
Really thorough analysis Simon. Not sure you got much wrong. A mini Scotty review ranking would be fun.
Returning to the game after many years. In the early 1990's I bought my first putter by going to a used sporting equipment store and testing every single putter they had. Ended up with a Ray Cook M1-3X mallet putter because it performed the best for me at 8 - 10 feet in the store. I did not like how a mallet putter looked but this mallet putter was the best putter for me. Paid $34 USD and learned to use the Ray Cook for long and short putts, breaking left, breaking right. Now I am testing other used putters from eBay and find that I can make all of them work for me but some are easier than others. So far, none of them can beat my Ray Cook at the "8' to the interior door threshold, bouncing over it and continuing another 7' in a straight line" test.
I used a ping zing 2 until this season. When I was testing putters I couldn't believe how forgiving and soft all the new putters felt. I really found it hard to pick one. Ended up getting a Ping DS72. It's like in between an anser and a mallet in size, idk what they're called. Feels soft off the face, quite forgiving but gives solid feedback. The ping pistol grip is what really won me over in the end. Insanely comfortable in my opinion
The whole video I’m like screaming, “where’s the Spider, where’s the Spider?” Glad to see you put that one in iconic. I wouldn’t play it, but with as many tour wins as it has, it’s certainly well-deserved.
A few dark horses to check out if you ever have the chance: Saks Parente, Argolf & Bobby Grace.
The Spider opens a whole area of whether these putters help or hinder your practice and how you improve. The criticism is about lack of feel that goes with high levels of MOI. It's a video all of it's own (Simon?)
Good stuff, I currently game a Yonex ADX 50 Graphite milled head with a graphite shaft. Being super lightweight I thought it would be hard to use thus playing with it might improve my touch. It has and it is unique, a conversation piece every time I play with someone new.
Love rocking my acushnet bullseye. Looks badass and feels great.
I just bought a Ping Pal 4 BeCu putter. I love the sound, feel and blade length.
I regripped my spider today! love it
Putters not included are.
George low (used by Jack nickuas)
Ray Cook, Billy baroo,
Jackie Burke's blade,
Bobby Jones calamity jane.
I purchased my first YES! putter today for $20. The Marilyn model. The putter I USE daily is the Cleveland Huntington Beach 6👍🏻. The putter I used for 5+ years prior, Never Compromise🤯😂.
Also purchased a Ping Anser with the PING logoed insert for $20. I could never get the original to roll rather than skid. Maybe age and an insert have made me better😉
I was wondering if you could review Hippo golf clubs, the prices are fairly reasonable on there but I can’t find any reviews of them. Love the videos, you’re doing great
Tried many different styles of putters, sticking with my Anser 2 and 3
And also my Wilson 8802
Ahh, what about the Chubbs Custom that Mr Gilmore used in his come-from-behind win at the Tour Championship?
I have a Never Compromise Z/1 Alpha have had for years...and absolutely love it. Never seen anyone else with a NeverCompromise putter other than myself. LOL
Had a yes Tracy 2 given to me last year, such a beautiful putter
Enjoyed the Video Simon good to hear your opinion. But can’t help but miss the flipping video £10 to 2k challenge come back soon!
Spider is right up there with the Anser. I'm currently putting very well with Cobras latest mallet.
I use my copper ping pal
and looks nice in the bag with eye 2 copper irons :)
Cobra Agera is also a fantastic putter worth a try….and a shout out !
Nice list. It seems to be missing another in the iconic list. Bettinardi. I see a few Scotty Cameron's, yeah nice and expensive. Bettinardi milled putters for Cameron from 93-98, so no Bettinardi, no Cameron. I would say Iconic.
I picked up a gently used evnroll er2, wow what a putter. use to have a white ice mallete after years of a rossie II. that evnroll is just amazing accuracy.
Nothing beats the white hot insert for me. Amazing feel off the face. Nothing has beaten my Odyssey Versa #1 putter yet when it comes to feel and distance control.
Currently using a 1967 Ping Anser with a Superstroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip that I picked up from a garage sale. Best I've ever putted!
Nice! Love Ping Anser putters. 👍
I used a 2 ball for circa 5 years it offered me great performance. Then I tried a Scotty Cameron Select M1. The odyssey 2 ball was great but the Scotty is sublime. I cannot praise the Scotty enough. For me it offers me everything I need and I wouldn't be looking to change it anytime soon. Great reviews of the many putters
Wot no TM nubbins?? OK I get that after doing the Adams Post it might seem like TM bashing cos you'd need to say they stole the tech but I had one for years and still regret selling
Great video and sure to get comments flying in
My 2nd putter was an answer 1 in perfect condition, and I will never be able to or let alone want to change my putter ever. It is the best in my opinion. Especially the one with the slit on the bottom behind the face. Amazing pop and sound. Just awesome
Oh, dear, oh dear...
Yes, the anser is iconic
Yes it was the first
Yes it is the most copied...
But you didn't mention the B60 or B62
Every bit as effective as the anser,
But with curves !!!
Beautiful putters that worked.
I spent 50 of your English pounds on these in the 80s - in the days when you could buy David Leadbetter for 2&6 and still have enough left over for a chippy supper.
'Nuff said....😋
I would have thought that you would have put the SC Futura on there. Glad you put the 8802 on there. Speaking of Wilson, I recently picked up a Deep Red II for $15 and think that it is a decent putter.
Love the Odyssey Two Ball.
Very interesting.. I have both ping anser and ping Pal putter.... They are only a slightly different in weight from each other. I love them both and will not trade them for a penny
Love my TM rossa monza spider vicino. Definitely iconic.
Scrolled down looking for Ram Zebra comments... Was not disappointed.
How do you feel about the Ping Craz E g2i?
I really like the hat! Would love one!
I have tried a number of putters Ping,Oddesy, Cleveland and the one I always go back to is the Bullseye. It is in my bag and it's as old as me and it's the best putter I have ever used.
I see you've now got green as good and red as bad.Somebody pointed out you'd reversed the colours on the driver video right haha
Great content as per 👏🏼 (still waiting on you getting a Lynx modern 1 iron and reviewing it)
Lots of those I would put into OK. I would agree with the iconic choices.
Still using my 2 ball that I bought back in 2009.
Lol learnt to putt with a cheap copy of a Bullseye.from woolworths. Before moving over to a bladed forged putter from AG Spalding ( Looks like something from the 1950s).
I have my late fathers Accushnett Bullseye and still have the spalding in my bag.
Always thought the idea of the Ping adjustable length was genius not just for the golfer but for the retailers as it allowed them to carry fewer SKUs. And the golfer can experiment with whatever length works best. My local golf chain always seems to have far too many 35 inch putters left, which are probably appropriate for only a small percentage of players, on the rack because nobody needs that length. Having said that I use a TM Ardmore 2 which has greatly improved my lag putting compared to my old Daytona 1 blade. Just sorry I bought the red one as the paint started chipping off right away. But I'm sticking with it.
I found a centre shaft Odyssey 2 ball white ice, 14 years old for £80 which seemed a decent deal on a rare putter and it works better than my Huntington beach blade or spider x...classic!!!!
If I could use a rock on a stick to putt well, I would. However, I've settled on a Rife Barbados and it not only rolls, it rocks :)
I picked up a odyssey white hot pro v-line for £40 after lockdown and I bloody love it but would live to pick up a two ball if I ever got the chance.
odyssey 7 super iconic, i consider it the modern 2-ball. left the game for like 10-15 years and these were everywhere when i jumped back in.
Just picked up a Yes Sophia from eBay - £29 - as new condition- really happy
I started golfing 4 years ago been addicted ever since and honestly the 2 ball is what made me addicted naturally a decent putter and I’ve had Scottie’s and spiders I pull my $20 marketplace 2ball out
I use an old Mizuno TP Mills, along with a Tad Moore.
Love my huntington beach putter
Try out the Sub 70 Sycamore 007 blade. 5 birdies today with this putter. So butter good.
Using Ping anser, regripped, perfect! Love to see IT at the top! payed 28 Euros ...
The Huntington beach putters are at least great. They have better feel than scotty cameron putters for myself personally.
“All time”? You need to include the original Ram Zebra, the ancestor of every face-balanced mallet. You’re also totally wrong about the Three-Ball.
"Amen" when it comes to the Zebra. Huge oversight.
Where does the LAB Direct Force 2.1 fit at on this list?
The Ping Scottsdale range were before the Sigma range . I take the Grayhawk it is fully adjustable. The best putter I have gamed. Had ones Backstyke from Odysse also Mizunos Betterandi range( the grip was not put on straight) They did sort it
Never have putted well with the Ping anser or the Odyssey two ball, still using the Wilson 8813, like it better than the Wilson 8802 because the lines help me line up.
Bettinardi started the milled face not Rife! Actually Scotty Cameron used Bettinardi to mill the 97 tiger putter!!
What about the very iconic Odyssey Seven head? Inspired all ”fang-putters” to come afterwards. The SC phantoms, the ping tynes, the spider GT etc. Almost every brand offers a ”fang-style” mallet today.
Have you tryed out the new taylormade spider gt putter? Could you do a review on them 🙏
Ping Pal 2 is the best putter I've ever used. I had to add some lead tape to it but I have had in my bag for over 15 years. I feel like I'm cheating on it if I try another one lol. It just has a great roll and is so easy to line up.
whats the best spider putter? seems are so many to choose from!
Not everything reaches India, but the legends are all here and quite popular. I also liked the 2012 spider, with Pure Roll insert.
Play and Evnroll ER2 and Scotty SS Newport 2…hard to take either out of the bag and they blend the look, feel, performance that I can’t find anything that is a better blend of those factors and I can swap between them but have also used the Spyder in the past and hate the look/feel but it’s like cheating it’s so easy to hit. Good list!!!
I'm pretty sure Bettinardi was the first to produce arm lock Putters not Odyssey. Kuchar made it popular back in 2013. Also bettinardi should have definitely been on this list.
lol, Been using the nike method concept putter since 2015! Damn putter is money for me! 😅
The Golo as poor??? I never tried one but that Golo 3 is a cult classic
The first putter I bought was a Ping Anser. Never felt the need to buy another. Hit it straight and the ball goes straight. What more do more expensive putters do?
Make people believe that their old putter was at fault rather than their crappy technique.
Thought you were gonna forget the Spider for a minute. Def the best I’ve played. Also the best looking.
So...that YES putter. I have an Abbie - which is a forged, milled, carbon steel version of an Anser design. It's lovely - I'd put it up against any Scotty, Odyssey ProType, Piretti, Bettinardi - the usual forged, milled, carbon steel putters. But most YES putters are inexpensive cast versions of these much better ones - the Abbie cost £250 back in 2007 - the later YES putters were selling for £35 -45 and nothing like the originals.
I kind of did what Simon does - during lockdown I suddenly bought 4 £50 putters off eBay to try alongside my Bettinardi Matt Kutcher standard shaft putter. A Method, YES Abbie, TM Ardmore 1, and a Ping Zing2 was then being tried out on the carpet and on grass when we were allowed back. The YES was the one for me - so the rest, including the Betti, went to eBay again. Interesting that a £50 putter beat the £350 putter isn't it? But it has that basic high end spec no matter how old it is - Carbon Steel, Forged then Milled - a lot of pros used these putters back in the day.
Now there's a thought Simon - putter metals vs how they are made. That embraces milling a putter from a carbon steel billet (solid lump), or milling from a forged lump (rough shape by forging then mill to a finish), then ditto, but this time using Stainless Steel. And where have all the BeCu, Brass, Aluminium putters gone?
Cleveland smart square putter is unbelievable. I'd encourage anyone to try it out.
Im not sure I'm good enough of a putter to feel the difference. Been using the same Odyssey putter for 6+ years so I think I'll stick with consistency. Would love to hear if it really makes that big of a difference
I hated the driver ranking! 😂
You said my G410 sucked. I am crushed…. I hesitate to watch this and see if my Craz-e gets blasted too. LOL
Have you trued any of the Fischer Touch putters. Very under rated and hardly many people have heard of them
i have a Ping WRX answer 5 putter and its VG, mind you i have 22 putters, some collectors some just fun like the "Happy" which has adjustable loft and Lie. Worst putter is a Trevino blade, can't get anywhere near the hole. Main putter is a TM Spider its a bit heavy, the new EX's are lighter and seem ok. I forgot the Callaway "Paul Runyan" face balanced its a great putter for its age.
Forgot my putter one round, had to use my wedge to putt with. I TWO-PUTTED ALMOST EVERY GREEN! Stick that in your bag Scotty Cameron...
The order of the 3 last iconics are the order of my last 3 putters used!
Odyssey #7 definitely iconic
Where would you put the Odyssey Sabertooth putter go in the list?
Only just watched this, can't believe no Ram Zebra in the iconic and Lynx Transmitter in the poor category. Great video though👌
Iconic putters. Any of the L.A.B. Putters. DF, Mezz, Link.
I agree with the 2 ball mallet, definitively the best mallet ever made. Left off the list, and I would put it up against any Scotty Cameron is the Mizuno M. Craft. I scored a 98 out of 100 on the computer at Golf Galaxy with it and oh yeah, it's in my bag. Best I could do with a SC was 88.
Got my Oddessey WH OG SL #1 last year brand new after using my Ping Anser 2 for years and ill never buy another putter again. Its the end all, be all for me. Yeah it was expensive but you get what you pay for and when it comes to putting, confidence is key.
I bought an actual original 2-Ball with a Good Pride Tour SNSR pistol grip for $60 a couple months ago, and it was the best decision I've ever made
Most iconic putters were the Anser Putter, Scotty Cameron Newport, Zebra, Odyssey Two Ball and Sabertooth, and finally the Taylormade Spider.
Mini put putters got more people golfing than anything else. Still a classic. 😂
So of the good to Ivonic putters 7 of 15 are the PING Answer putter or a derivative of the Answer putter.
do a tier list of only scotty cameron putters
What is the point in putting the hands ahead, with the hosel?
My all time favorite is the Nike OZ T130
