1) Odyssey EXO Rossie Golf Putter
As the No1 putter in golf Odyssey continue to push the boundaries of innovation with one goal in mind – to help every golfer make more putts. The new EXO line is the culmination of taking everything they know about making great putters and putting it all together seamlessly in one impressive line up.
You’ve never seen a putter like EXO before, because Odyssey have never made a putter like this before. It starts with maximum forgiveness created by an advanced multi-material construction. They have used multiple materials to concentrate weight toward the perimeter to significantly increase MOI for more consistent ball speeds and accuracy.
Not cheap at £329.00 but can you put a price on wiping that smug look on your oppnent's fat face when you blitz him 7&6?
2) TaylorMade Spider X
A decade after introducing the putter that shifted the paradigm of putter creation toward high-MOI design mallets and has since become the most popular putter in company history, TaylorMade has announced the 10th generation of its globally transcendent Spider putters with the introduction of Spider X.
Continuing the longstanding heritage of Spider performance in a completely re-designed frame, Spider X putters utilise a new dedicated weighting system and optically engineered sightline (OES) featuring TaylorMade’s new True Path alignment system.

Evnroll Putters first came to the golfing world’s attention in 2016 with a range of stunning 100% milled putters featuring Guerin Rife’s ground-breaking, patented “Sweet Face” Technology, an innovative and unique mill pattern engineered to deliver uniform performance across the entire hitting area of the putter face for unprecedented accuracy and zero dispersion.
Evnroll Putters have since won a host of accolades and awards, and now Rife is using the platform of the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show to unveil not only four striking new models, but also his TourStroke Trainer, engineered to hone the perfect stroke path, plus a new Gravity Grip designed to promote a square face impact angle, through the entire hitting area.

Available in Titleist trusted retailers worldwide from April 12th, Phantom X replaces the Futura family while advancing Titleist Master Putter Maker Scotty Cameron’s proven multi-material construction methodology of combining 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft-grade aluminium for increased MOI, optimal weight distribution, improved sound and responsive feedback.
6). Bettinardi Studio Stock Series

The end product is softest face ever milled by Bettinardi, which proved victorious when the face milling was put into play by Francesco Molinari to win the Claret Jug at Carnoustie this year, following his visit to the brand’s state-of-the-art factory just outside Chicago.
7). Wilson INFINITE range
Wilson Golf is extending its award-winning Wilson Staff INFINITE putter range for 2019 with three new models incorporating eye-catching design and game-changing technology.

Available this month, the ‘Bucktown’ a fang-mallet style model features a double bend in the shaft towards the head to balance the face at impact, while the ‘West Loop’ is a wide-profile blade style putter with a straight down shaft.
