ClubTest June 2008: Blade Putters A half-dozen sweet-swinging, smooth-feeling flat sticks.
How We Did It
We assigned each of our 14 ClubTesters a putting lane on the practice green. Testers struck 12 putts per putter from three to 40 feet. (We provided them with 34- and
35-inch putters.) Panelists took note of feel, look and
control, and also shared their overall impressions. Our
exclusive research partner, Hot Stix Golf, measured roll
on center hits and heel-toe forgiveness using a mechanical
putting device.
Where We Did it
The Hot Stix Performance Center at Legend Trail GC in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Rating System - How it works:
Testers vote on Look, Feel and Control. The winning
model (the one that receives the most points) is
awarded GOLF Magazine/ClubTest 5-star status.
