Gear: PXG Allan putter
Price: $449.99
Specs: 303 stainless steel chassis with injected polymer and milled 6061 aluminum crown.

Who It’s For: Golfers who want to reduce face rotation on putts and increase stability and consistency.

What You Should Know: The PXG Allan putter is designed with an S-shaped hosel that creates a toe-up balance, helping the putter’s face stay square to the arc of your stroke. This design aids golfers in making solid contact more easily.

The Deep Dive: According to the Rules of Golf, when you sole your putter and rest it flat on the ground, the shaft can’t go straight up. If it did, golfers could make a pure pendulum stroke, which golf’s governing bodies believe would reduce the challenge of putting. To ensure a challenge, the putter must have a lie angle of no less than 80 degrees, which is why every golfer’s putting stroke has some level of arc. One of the biggest challenges in putting is returning the putter face to the exact position you establish at address and preventing it from swinging into the ball with an open or closed face, which would start the ball rolling offline.

PXG’s new Allan putter, named after the brother of PXG founder Bob Parsons, is designed to eliminate this challenge by helping golfers keep the putter face square to the natural arc of their stroke while boosting stability and improving distance control.

The Allan putter achieves this with a unique hosel design. Unlike many hosels that attach to the heel area and create some level of toe hang, or center-shafted putters that produce a face-balanced condition, the Allan putter has an S-shaped hosel that points the tip of the putter shaft directly over the center of gravity (CG) behind the center of the hitting area. The hosel then bends and attaches to the putter head in the heel area, creating a toe-up condition that PXG refers to as Zero Torque.

When you make a stroke with the Allan putter, the balance helps keep the face square to the arc of your stroke, reducing the chances of the face fanning open on the backswing and closing on the downswing and follow-through. According to PXG, this should allow golfers to return the putter to the ball with a square face more often and start putts rolling on their intended line more easily.

There are two other notable features of the Allan’s hosel and shaft configuration. First, when you address the ball, the backward-pointing shaft and hosel give you an unobstructed view of the ball. Second, with the shaft set so far behind the putter’s topline, the Allan putter creates a natural forward press. Typically, when a golfer intentionally presses their hands forward before making a stroke, it de-lofts the face and points it downward. To counteract this, PXG designed the Allan with five degrees of loft, which offsets the two-degree forward press and makes the putter play like a club with a more typical three degrees of loft.

The black frame of the Allan putter is made of 303 stainless steel, and the face is designed to be very thin. Behind the face, there’s a hollow chamber filled with a lightweight polymer called S COR, which PXG says absorbs excessive vibrations to enhance sound and feel.

The silver-toned top piece of the Allan is milled from 6061 aluminum, which is exceptionally light. Each Allan putter comes with a single black alignment line.

On the underside of the Allan, adjustable weights have been added to the toe and heel areas, allowing fitters to adjust the putter’s swing weight based on its length or the player’s preferences. Finally, the pocket designed into the aluminum piece enables golfers to press the Allan on top of a ball and pick it up without bending over.

Best new golf putters you can buy in 2024

Check out Golfweek’s list of the best putters available to purchase in 2024.

The big trend in drivers this season is adding stability and boosting the moment of inertia (MOI) so tee shots that you mis-hit fly straighter and farther. The big trend in putters in 2024 is similar — more forgiveness and stability.

Twenty years ago on the PGA Tour, most players used heel-to-toe weighted blades like the classic Ping Anser, Scotty Cameron Newport and Odyssey #1. Then, in the mid-2000s, the Odyssey 2-Ball putters exploded and mallets found their way into more and more bags on tour and in local clubs. Fast forward to the mid-2010s, and TaylorMade’s Spider Tour putter, a mid-size mallet with a high MOI but some toe-hang for golfers who have an arced stroke, takes the putting world by storm. Odyssey’s #7 and Scotty Cameron’s Futura X 5, with stability-boosting extensions in the heel and toe became more popular over the last decade too.

Plenty of golfers still love the look and feel of classic blades, but mallets, often made with multiple materials, are here to stay because they allow designers to shift weight into performance-enhancing areas and create bolder alignment features.

The best putter for you is waiting at your local shop, and after going through a putter fitting that includes discovering your idea putter length, lie angle, loft and balance, you will know exactly what it is. The putters listed below can give you a starting point to learn more about clubs you might want to try.

Note: Putters are often released on two-year product cycles, which means updates are released every two years. For that reason, you will see several 2023 offerings alongside new 2024 putters.

PXG Battle Ready II putters have a hidden surprise

The Battle Ready II putters are filled with a vibration-dampening polymer.

Gear: PXG Battle Ready II putters
Price: $389.99 each
Specs: 303 stainless steel with internal polymer filling and adjustable sole weights. Length: 33″-38″. Loft: 3 degrees (arm-lock style, 7 degrees). Lie angle: 70 degrees

Who It’s For: Golfers who want a more forgiving putter that also offers a soft feel and a consistent roll.

The Skinny: By making the Battle Ready II putters hollow, then filling the inner chamber with a vibration-dampening polymer, PXG claims its newest putters offer soft feel, better sound and significantly more forgiveness thanks to a boost in MOI.

The Deep Dive: When PXG started making irons a decade ago, everyone who saw the new brand’s clubs commented on the unique tungsten screws that ringed the back of each club. The weighting system was eye-catching, to be sure, but the real secret sauce that PXG designers have added to their irons over the years is an ever-evolving blend of polymers injected inside each club. PXG irons are hollow and made with ultra-thin faces to create more ball speed, but the internal polymer supports the face while also soaking up excessive vibrations, so shots feel and sound better.

Now, with the release of the Battle Ready II family of putters, PXG engineers are taking that recipe and incorporating it into a nine-club family of flat sticks.

Most blade-style putters are solid metal steel, while high-MOI mallet putters, which offer more forgiveness, tend to be designed with multiple materials that take weight out of some areas and shift it to the perimeter of the head to make it more stable on mis-hits. The Battle Ready II putters try to take that formula to the extreme. They have been designed with thin faces, to reduce weight in the front, and hollow chambers that have been filled with a polymer that PXG calls S COR.

The S COR material improves the sound and feel created at impact, as it does in clubs like the 0311 irons, but it is significantly lighter than the steel it replaces. That created significant amounts of discretionary weight that could be shifted to the perimeter of the blades and mallets, which makes them more forgiving on mis-hits. According to PXG, the moment of inertia (MOI) is 10 percent higher in the Battle Rady II putters compared to the original Battle Ready putters.

The hitting area features PXG’s Pyramid Face Pattern, which is a tightly-packed groove design that helps to increase the consistency of how the face interacts with the ball’s dimples and each putt’s roll. Each putter also has a series of weight ports in the sole that allow fitters to increase or decrease the putter’s swing weight based on the club’s length or a player’s preferences. Finally, all nine Battle Ready II putters are being made available in four different hosel configurations—plumber’s neck, double bend, heel-shafted and armlock.

Among the nine PXG Battle Ready II putters are four blade style offerings, including the Dagger +, Brandon, Mustang and Closer.

There are also four mallets, including the Bat Attack, One & Done, Blackjack, Hercules and Apache. All nine putters feature PXG‘s Darkness Insignia (a skull with the number 26), which honors founder Bob Parsons’ service with the 26th Marine Corps Regiment during the Vietnam War.

PXG 0211 putters

The 0211 putters have a unique face to get the ball rolling instead of skidding, a non-glare finish and new alignment system.

Gear: PXG 0211 putters
Price: $189 each (at pxg.com)
Specs: Cast 303 stainless steel with speed-control insert

Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG) starting making golf clubs in 2014 and immediately grabbed attention with the unique look of its irons and the technologies that were designed into its clubs, but the price tag attached to those items also raised eyebrows. In time, the 0211 family was released, and updates to those drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons were made available earlier in 2021. Again, they shared many of the technologies found in the top-of-the-line PXG clubs, but at a lower price. Now PXG is updating 0211 putters for golfers who want high-end performance at a more budget-friendly price.

There are five 0211 putters: three heel-toe weighted blades, a small mallet and a high-MOI mallet. All five are milled from 303 stainless steel and have a dark, non-glare finish.

They also have a unique, milled Pyramid Face Pattern, with tiny diamond-shaped pieces covering the entire hitting area. In reality, they are pyramids that are designed to grab the back of the golf ball at impact and get it rolling instead of skidding after impact for better distance control and consistency.

The size of the pyramids varies, with small ones packing the center of the face and larger pyramids in the heel and toe areas. PXG said the more open pattern offsets the loss of distance a putt typically experiences when it is struck outside the sweet spot. By going with a dense pattern in the center and an open pattern in the heel and toe, PXG is able to normalize the speed at which putts leave the face, which should help golfers achieve better distance control.

To help players aim their putts more effectively, PXG has developed a system it calls Runway Reticle. Based on an airplane runway’s design, the split arrow design encourages golfers to focus on the ball. Along with the alignment mark on the topline, it creates several lines that help ensure a player sets the club down behind the ball perpendicular to the target line.

The 0211 Bayonet is a classic heel-toe-weighted blade for players with a semi-arched putting stroke. The Hellcat has a similar shape but is shorter from heel to toe and features a larger back flange. The Clydesdale is the largest of the three blades, both from heel to toe and front to back. Its large extensions boost the moment of inertia and increase stability.

For players who have a large arc in their putting stroke, the heel-shafted V-42 has the most toe hang, while the Lightning is the largest and heaviest 0211 putter. A high-MOI mallet with a double-bend hosel, it is face-balanced and designed for players with a straight putting stroke.

PXG One and Done putter

Using multiple materials, three alignment aids and a grooved-face insert, PXG’s One and Done aims to help golfers improve on the greens.

Gear: PXG One and Done putter
Price: $525
Specs: Aluminum body with tungsten weight and adjustable weight screws in the sole.

PXG has announced the release of the second putter in the company’s Battle Ready family, the One and Done, a mallet that offers a blend of materials and technologies designed to help golfers improve their alignment and enhance distance control.

The first putter in the Battle Ready collection, the Blackjack, was released in October.

Looking at the One and Done in the address position, a player’s eyes will immediately see a white golf ball-size disk on the top of the putter, bracketed by a pair of white lines. There is also a single alignment line in the center of the topline. These three elements are designed to work in harmony and make it easier for a player to square the face to the target line.

The matte black portion of the chassis of the One and Done is made from aerospace-grade aluminum, which is extremely light. PXG designers then gave the putter a C-shaped tungsten piece that wraps around the back of the sole. The heavier tungsten pulls the center of gravity down and back, away from the hitting area, which helps boost stability on off-center hits.

The grooved face of the One and Done was designed to help golfers improve distance control. The grooves are packed more tightly in the center of the hitting area, and the pattern loosens in the heel and toe areas. Studies have shown that tightly packed grooves slow a ball down more than loosely packed grooves, so the configuration in the One and Done normalizes ball speed over a larger portion of the hitting area. That should mean more consistency and enhanced distance control.

The four weights in the sole of the One and Done are not designed to be adjustable for consumers. They allow fitters to change the swing weight of the club based on its finished length and a player’s preferences.

To further enhance personalization, the One and Done can accommodate four shaft and hosel configurations – plumber’s neck, heel-shafted, double bend, and armlock – to help balance the putter in a way that optimizes it for any player’s stroke type.

PXG Blackjack putter

The newest mallet from Parsons Xtreme Golf combines aerospace-grade aluminum and tungsten to boost stability and consistency.

Price: $395
Specs: Milled aluminum body with tungsten weights

When it comes to putting, the name of the game is to have good aim, a repeatable stroke and solid distance control. With the release of the new Blackjack mallet, PXG believes it can help golfers improve in all three of those areas.

Looking down at the Blackjack at address, golfers will see a long white alignment line set against a matte black body, making it easier to square the face to the player’s intended path.

By designing the head using a frame made from aerospace-grade aluminum, PXG engineers saved a significant amount of weight. That allowed them to reposition and concentrate more weight in the back heel and toe areas in the form of tungsten bars and in a back section. As a result, the center of gravity is pulled back away from the hitting area, the moment of inertia increases and the Blackjack resists twisting on off-center hits more effectively. That means even a putt struck outside the center of the face has a better chance to roll along the intended target line.

The hitting area is covered with a variable-depth groove pattern that is packed more tightly in the center. According to PXG, packing more shallow grooves in the center and deeper grooves toward the heel and toe normalizes speed off the face to produce better distance control.

Each Blackjack putter has four weight ports in the sole that allow fitters to increase or decrease the swing weight of the club based on its length and a golfer’s preferences. The Blackjack is also available with three hosel configurations (heel-shafted, plumber’s neck, double bend), and an arm-lock version of the putter also is available.
