Buying guide
Putting Practice Corner
Updated How we research
Putting is the cheapest stroke to save and the easiest to practice indoors. Start by choosing a grip profile you like, beaded or beadless, firm or soft, then buy enough identical putters to fill a station so you are not walking after every throw. A portable stand lets the whole corner disappear when the room is needed for something else. The page is split into five sections (Putting Putters; Beaded Rims; Soft Plastic Putters; Matched Putter Packs; Portable Practice Stands), followed by every pick ranked by our score so you can compare them in one place.
