Scotty Cameron Studio Style

Young Aussie Adam Scott, whose good looks and fashion sense (Burberry is his clothing sponsor) have made him a Madison Avenue darling, is proving that his game matches his media mojo. Take for instance the insane 62 he shot earlier this year at the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio. However, his score would have been even more ridiculous had he made those four putts within 12 feet of the cup. But that statistic isn’t indicative of Scott’s skill, as he’s 10th on the PGA Tour for putting average (1.746). Scott uses the Scotty Cameron Studio Style, also the preferred putter of Tiger Woods. The Studio Style’s high grade German stainless steel inlay is attached to the stainless steel body via a special vibration pad, thereby enhancing the putter’s soft feel. $300.

TaylorMade Rossa Daytona

Putting is the strongest part of Nathan Green’s game. Statistically speaking, the 32-year-old Australian is the fifth best putter on the tour: he has a whopping 1,137 green in regulation putts, and claims a high birdie conversation rate (31.29). On the green, Green goes with the TaylorMade Rossa Daytona, a simple club when compared to TaylorMade’s other putters like the bulky Turismo or eye-popping Inza (the trapezoidal putterhead looks like the grill of a Dodge Charger). The Rossa Daytona is stainless steel with CGB rods and plugs to help shift the center of gravity into the back of the head. The result: an improved launch that promotes a superior roll, and straighter putts on miffed hits. $120. For more information, please visit www.taylormadegolf.com.

Nike Oz T130

“When you reach the top 50 in the world, you’re a good putter,” Stewart Cink has said. “I don’t think there’s very many average or poor putters in that list.” Cink certainly is no slouch on the green — according to the PGA’s current stats, he’s among the top 25 putters on the tour. His weapon of choice? The Nike Oz T130, an oversized mallet dressed in black. Pick one up, and the first thing you notice is the weight: high-density tungsten weights are placed to the rear of the clubhead to add stability and reduce skidding on putts of all lengths. The Nike Oz isn’t just making waves on the men’s tour; Youth phenom and soon-to-be Stanford University freshman Michelle Wie calls the Oz her putter of choice. $140.

Odyssey White Hot XG #9

In 2006, when Phil Mickelson finished with a 7-under 281 to win his second Masters in three years, it was his Odyssey White Hot XG #9 that helped get him there. The best putter on the tour (as of press time, he had 856 green in regulation putts, and a 1.71 putting average), Mickelson loves the XG #9, an upgrade from his former putter of choice, the Odyssey PM Prototype. The XG #9 combines a soft elastomer core material and thin urethane outer striking surface to help the ball roll and enhance the sweet spot. Add to that a toe-weighed, flanged blade, and you get a putter that heightens the feel of impact and feedback. $120. For more information, visit www.odysseygolf.com.
