Putters

Putters: Golf players use different types of clubs during the game to drive the golf ball into the hole. Putters are those iron clubs, which are the shortest in size. Like the other golf clubs, putters are also essential for playing golf. Putters are used in different way than the other golf clubs. Unlike the other irons, putters are used to push the ball and roll it into the hole. The ball can not be lifted in the air with these iron clubs. Putters are used for hitting ball only on green. However, they can also be used for playing the approach shots. The shortest of the iron clubs, putters can have various shapes of heads. The lofts of the putters are very low. The three parts of the putters are the shaft, the grip and the head. The lengths of the putter shafts are less than the other iron clubs. In the early days, the putters were made from steel like the other iron clubs. However, with the advent of science and technology, the putters are being made from graphite. In the recent time, the adjustable putters have been invented to provide more accuracy to the shots taken by the players. There are two types of putters used by the golf players at the present time—blade putters and mallet putters. The leading manufacturers of the putters are Ping, Nike, Odyssey, Taylor Made, Guerin, Mizuno and Cobra.
