Best Blade Putter Under $200

I've never been pleased with the putter I have & I'm going to try something new. I know that finding the right putter is going to come down to me personally handling & picking the one that feels the best to me, but I'd like to at least limit it to a few before I go to a store to try them. I do know that I want a blade style putter and I'd like to keep it under $200. What has worked for you?

Cleveland putters

There are endless options. What head weight? Whst neck style? New? Used?

locally a used tei3 in nice shape with matching headcover sold for $150 2 days ago. There are deals to be had on nice used blades if you are patient.

Cleveland if you want a new non-insert. They’re a steal. If you’re on a budget used is the way to go though. You can get a lot for $200 if you hunt a bit.

What do you mean by blade? Are we talking 8802, anser style, or anything that isn't a mallet? If it's anser style you are looking for, my personal favorites for look and feel would be a Scotty (pre insert) or Ping Milled/Redwood (possibly Vault). A used Scotty would be pushing that budget, but the higher end Pings tend to be pretty affordable used after a few years. If you are looking for new, Ping's Karsten is solid and people on here seem to like Cleveland or milled Wilsons for their quality/price point. So many options under $200, happy hunting.

The Wilson Infinite 'windy city' is a solid option. My course has one in the loaner bag and I like the feel. Downside is the stock oversized pillow grip (at least for me) but that is easily changed. If I weren't confident my current putter, I'd put one of those in the bag.

Cleveland seems to be the best budget option

any of the ping anser models from previous generations

Can get new 1st Ping Vault anser putters for 149 right now from many stores online, down from original 300 dollar price. Thats a no brainer. Far superior to Cleveland putters mentioned above.

If you are looking for Milled Anser style head with plumbers...Ping Anser Milled 0. I picked one up this summer while my Byron Morgan was being refinished and was very pleased. Added a bit of lead tape to the sole to get the weight up and give it a "softer" feel and it was great.

Can probably find a used Redwood Anser on the bay for less than $100.

In what way is it far superior?

Go pick one up. I personally think the Cleveland putters look and feel cheap, but to each their own. The Vault line is Ping's top end retail product. A 300 dollar Ping putter is going to be nicer than a 100-130 dollar full price cleveland.

How do the Vault line putters compare to their Sigma 2 Anser putters?

I was not a fan of the Sigma insert.

What don’t you like about it?

Count me as another vote for giving Cleveland a look.

Another vote for Cleveland, if you want "new". The Frontline Anser style is solid, so are the Huntington Beach soft models.

But for less than $200, you have a huge choice of used.

Just browse here for a quick look of what you can get from Callaway preowned::

[https://callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/putters/?prefn1=a1657&prefn2=isClearance&prefv1=Blade&prefv2=false](https://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/putters/?prefn1=a1657&prefn2=isClearance&prefv1=Blade&prefv2=false "https://callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/putters/?prefn1=a1657&prefn2=isClearance&prefv1=Blade&prefv2=false")

For example, if you don't need one that looks like new, check out the first gen Toulon San Diego....

[https://callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/putters/toulon-design-putters/putters-2016-toulon-san-diego.html](https://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/putters/toulon-design-putters/putters-2016-toulon-san-diego.html "https://callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/putters/toulon-design-putters/putters-2016-toulon-san-diego.html")

And just look at the used Ping Vault Answer 2s available from 2nd Swing:

[https://2ndswing.com/ping/golf-putters/vault-anser-2/](https://www.2ndswing.com/ping/golf-putters/vault-anser-2/ "https://2ndswing.com/ping/golf-putters/vault-anser-2/")

Keep an eye on the Callaway Pre-Owned site, even sign up for emails from them as they'll have random sales up to 40% off depending on the model.

I snatched up a San Diego for under $200 with a discount and it's an awesome putter. A bit of wear on the face and sole but I will eventually get it clean up and still not in the putter much.

Other options like mentioned are the Clevelands ones even the new Frontline which I like out of all Cleveland models. Ping has putter options for days, Odyssey has many options if you like inserts, you could even land a Scotty on a good day I bet.

Get on the bay and find yourself an Odyssey Protype... Carbon head, milled faces.... There are 340g and 350g heads. IMO, they are some of the best value out there for milled, carbon putters that you won't see in everybody's hands.

Cleveland and you can get 2 for under $200

Wilson 8802 for back 2 basics style.

It did not feel solid like my Redwood.
