GolfWRX Members Choice: Best putter of 2022

Published

on

What is the best putter in 2022? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. Needless to say, that extends to their views on the best putter of 2022.

The bedrock of GolfWRX.com is the community of passionate and knowledgable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members—the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Best putter of 2022 over $300: Top 5

1. Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5

What Scotty Cameron says: “Born on Tour and crafted for players who favor a mallet with the topline aesthetics of a traditional putter, the updated 2022 Phantom X 5 provides the performance and alignment benefits of a mallet with the feel of a blade. Continuously refined with expert feedback and new ultra-premium styling including a revamped Pistolero Plus grip that adds a decorative and non-slip texture to its design for 2022, Scotty pushed the concept of artistry through milling to the limit with a purpose-designed sole plate that provides perfect balance in the center of the “X” when the putter is soled.”

2. Ping PLD Anser

What Ping says: “The timeless Anser features a striking matte-black finish, rounded corners and softer ballast surfaces. For slight-arc stroke types, the Anser makes squaring the face to the target line easy and natural.”

3. Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2

What Scotty Cameron says: “Arguably the most famous putter head shape in the world, with scores of professional titles won, Scotty’s flagship model—the Special Select Newport 2—is the closest-to-Tour setup ever offered. With refinements made to every aspect, this timeless design returns to the roots of sound and feel with its insert-free, solid stainless steel putter head precision milled in the USA.”

4. L.A.B. Mezz.1

What L.A.B. says: “MEZZ.1 is our new mid-mallet putter that’s fully CNC machined from a billet of 6061 aircraft aluminum (body) and 303 stainless steel (midsection) to create our best-feeling — and we think best looking — putter to date. It includes 10 weights (eight on the bottom, two on the sides) that allow us to individually build each putter to a golfer’s exact specifications.”

5. Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport

What Scotty Cameron says: “Evolving the curvy, compact setup of this classic blade design, the Special Select Newport is crafted from solid milled 303 stainless steel without an insert and performance balanced tungsten sole weighting for a larger sweet spot and increased stability. The revamped plumbing neck allows for better alignment and setup with freer visual access to the flatter, narrower topline, while a cascading concave second tier knocks down reflection and provides a “melt-into-the-ground” appearance at address.”

    In all fairness, the ‘best putter’ is the one that matches the player’s mechanics and that sets up to how they see the line while looking down at the ball and putter head.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
