For those who are avid golfers, getting a new putter is like getting a new house. New technologies in putter design can help you male more putts, but most of that improvement comes at a steep price. Even though the putter is the golf club you use most often, it is still just one golf club, and you will probably find that the new exotic putters are priced very high.

There are quite a few different cost saving measures to take when you are getting a new putter. One way is to purchase a used putter. But many golfers don’t want to purchase pre-owned golf equipment. But if there is any club that makes sense to buy seconf hand, it is a putter. Think about it - the putter is used to gently strike the ball and you don’t whack the ground with it, so it doesn’t get nicked and scratched like the other clubs. About the only dents a putter will get is from transporting it to and from the golf course. So if you are looking for a new putter and want a brand-name putter, but don’t want to pay the new putter price, don’t forget to look at certified preowned putters - they can save you a lot of money.

One of the nicest and most sought-after putters on the market are Scotty Cameron putters. These putters, manufactured by Titleist, use the best materials and have some of the most innovative designs, yet retain the look and feel of traditional putters. Buying Scotty Cameron used putters will provide you one of the highest quality putters available at a very affordable price. Wait until you see your golf buddies drool when you pull your new Scotty Cameron putter out on the first green. They’ll be even more shocked when they find out it’s a used putter that cost less than 50% of the sticker price.

Another well-known brand of putter is the Odyssey brand manufactured by Callaway golf. Odyssey putters are widely used on the PGA tour. Golfers consider them among the best putters on the market. Odyssey White Hot putters are the most popular of series in the Odyssey putter line-up. Oddyssey putters are expensive so it make sense for most golfers to buy pre-owned Odyssey putters. You’ll get to putt with the most widely used brand on the market at a discount price.

One of the most long-lived brands of putters are Ping putters. Ping started manufacturing putters more than 40 years ago and more golfers have used Ping putters overall than any other putter. Although some of the more recent brands have overtaken Ping putters in popularity in recent years, Ping still features a spectacular variety of high-tech as well as traditionally-styled putters. Buying used Ping putters is a smart choice for frugal golfers who want a quality brand-name putter like Ping but don’t want to pay new-putter prices.

Putting accounts for nearly half the strokes most amateurs take on the golf course. Most golfer use a putter on every hole (unless you are lucky enough to hole out from off the green!) So it makes sense to buy a quality putter. What isn’t a good idea for most is to pay the exorbitant prices of new putters. To save money and get a great putter, be sure to look for used putters from reputable used golf club resellers. You’ll look pretty smart once you start sinking all those putts!
