I'm hitting a chair leg with a golf ball consistently from 15 feet away across carpet. Ask the pro shop guy what kind of trade he'd give me on the putter I bought from him a few weeks back. He's not interested in trading but says he'll make me a deal. (side note, I find a lot of golf balls and the guy that runs the proshop is pretty cool about giving me tips and has a great short game so whenever I find top grade ProV1s I give them to him telling him I'm not worthy of hitting a ProV1 that is that nice). Anyhow I ask what kind of price he has in mind. He shoots me a number that is between a third and half of his taged price.
It's in my bag and it putts GREAT!

Of course I prefer some putters over others but a good putter can use any of them. Reading greens is the most important part of making putts. If you don't know how to plumb bob get someone to show you how. Going straight back and straight through with the putter is crucial. Use a range ball with a stripe or paint a stripe on a ball and set the stripe straight up and down. If the stripe wobbles you are cutting the ball.
