This selection of men's golf putters brings together heads with very different designs: the Cobra Agera RS, whose structure combines a 3D printed cartridge, steel, and carbon, the hollow mallet Cobra Vintage Cuda, the Wilson Staff Infinite South Side in a half-moon shape, and the classic blade Spalding Bullseye. A choice that depends on one's stroke on the green much more than on the brand.
The club that makes the score.
The choice of head starts with observing your own putting stroke. A straight stroke, where the face remains perpendicular to the line on the way back and through, suits a face-balanced putter, which keeps the face facing up when you balance the shaft on a finger. An arcing stroke, which slightly opens the face on the way back and closes it at impact, requires a head with some toe hang, where the toe points down.
Mallets, being deeper, position a lot of mass away from the face, increasing inertia: a putt hit towards the toe or heel loses less distance. The blade, being compact, offers more feel and face control but is less forgiving on off-centre strikes.

The Cobra Agera RS is a multi-material mallet: a 3D-printed nylon cartridge, shaped like a lattice, lightens the head's centre, while a stainless steel frame and a carbon crown distribute mass towards the perimeter. Its aluminium face features progressive lofts, ranging from four to one degree, for a consistent launch. The Cobra Vintage Cuda adopts a hollow-headed steel mallet shape, with three sightlines framing the ball.
The Wilson Staff Infinite South Side is a semi-circular mallet with a centred shaft, balanced face-up and counterbalanced for a straight stroke. The Spalding Bullseye retains the silhouette of a classic, sleek and compact blade.
Length is chosen so that your eyes are directly above the ball, or very slightly inside, with relaxed arms and shoulders. Most men's putters measure between thirty-three and thirty-five inches: the Wilson Staff is offered here at thirty-four inches and the Spalding at thirty-five, a size suitable for taller players or those who stand more upright at address.
A putter that's too long forces you to raise your hands and lean back, moving your eyes away from the line; too short, it causes back bending and fatigue over eighteen holes. Since January 1, 2016, the Rules of Golf prohibit anchoring the club against the body during the stroke: the length must allow for a free swing, with arms away from the torso.
Good bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a regular pattern: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the year-end holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school.
The palms face each other, thumbs rest flat on top of the grip and the pressure remains light and even between the two hands. Shoulders and arms form a triangle that pivots as a single unit, with passive wrists, to maintain the face square.
The rules of golf allow a non-circular cross-section for the putter's grip only. Its flat top helps to place the thumbs consistently and align the face, while thick grips limit unwanted wrist action.
The distance is determined by the backswing amplitude of the putter, not by accelerating the hands. One simple exercise is to putt towards the fringe without aiming for a hole, trying to stop the ball just a few centimetres from the edge.
A forgiving mallet, like the Wilson Staff Infinite South Side or the Cobra Vintage Cuda, better tolerates off-centre strikes and helps with alignment thanks to its sightlines. The blade requires a more consistent touch, which develops with practice.
Always store the putter with its headcover, as impacts against irons can quickly mark the face and sole. After the round, wipe down the face and grip, which should be cleaned with soapy water and replaced as soon as it becomes smooth.
