Having a great putter is extremely important in golf. Since golfers spend much of their time on the green, it is crucial to buy a putter that is comfortable to use and effective in getting the ball in the hole. There are numerous types of golf putters, the top lines of which were rated by Golf Digest in 2010.

Nike Method

According to Gold Digest, the Nike Method is one of the best putters on the market. The putter is made of a low-durometer polymer and a steel face with alternating grooves. This is designed to give the ball more accuracy by spinning it much less than other putters would. Golfers like the club because of the way the ball rolls after being struck by the club. The putter sells for $250 as of April 2010.

Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs

According to Gold Digest, the Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs are traditional-looking putters with flat toplines. It is made of a carbon-steel body. The club is also made with a tungsten-weighted flange, which helps create less backspin when the ball is struck. The putter sells for $270.

Ping In Series

According to Gold Digest, the Ping In Series is made with a 17-4 stainless-steel body with a polymer face insert. The entire head is coated with nano-nickel, giving it a shining silver face. The club is lighter than other putters, which makes it attractive to golfers. Players also like the gaps between the front and back of the head, which gives them a better idea of where the sweet spot is. The putter sells for $140.

Titleist Scotty Cameron California Series

According to Gold Digest, the Titleist Scotty Cameron California Series is made from stainless steel, with a head that is "honey-dipped," giving it a beautiful copper look. The sole has interchangeable weights that allow players to choose whether they want a heavier head weight or a shorter shaft, and vice versa. The wider body on the club gives the putter many more sweet spots to choose from, giving you the best chance to hit the ball effectively. The putter sells for $300.

TaylorMade Rossa Core Classics

According to Gold Digest, the TaylorMade Rossa Core Classics putter is made of stainless steel and covered in Tuscan nickel. The face of the putter is less dense and made of a flexible alloy that was developed by the company. The grooves in the putter are designed to give the ball more of a forward roll and to absorb unwanted vibrations when striking the ball. The putter sells for $120.
