New driver vs new putter

[GLF4EVR]

I am old, so I can use old sayings.  Drive for show....putt for dough.

Putter you use it the most. 

[tannyhoban]

I dunno. Drivers I marry and Putters I date.

 

Depends on what you're looking for.

I know it’s popular to say the putter because you use it so much more often, but that logic doesn’t work for me. There’s a difference between gently tapping ball on a smooth green and trying to hammer the ball as far as you can off the tee. 
drivers have to cover the most ground. How can you get around a course if you can’t drive the ball? 

 

Alot of people putt great with mangled  ancient putters. 
 

not really the case with drivers 

Could get the new driver and then start trying out cheap used putters to see what gives you confidence?

The woods ends up gobbling a lot of balls for me off the tee, if there was a driver that I can buy to magically fix that, let me know.

 

Putter seems like the logical choice here. 

You should try the TaylorMade mini driver

Putter, but only if you get fit. Having a fit putter means that you know the ball will go where you want it to. My scores dropped with a new putter because I was missing fewer 3-5 foot putts because I had the equipment and confidence that I could hit it where I intended to hit it.

 

Think about it this way: you can recover from a bad drive, but not a bad putt.

Buy, sell, repeat

I love putters and have had many but, for me, a better driver would absolutely make it easier to improve my scores as opposed to a better putter. I can make putts with anything. I’ve demonstrated that to myself over the years.
 

A new putter is about preference, looks, and feel. I can’t keep my ball in play with any old driver, and if I’m not in good position off the tee, that equates to a loss of 1-2 strokes on that hole.

I would get a putter that you feel comfortable with and stick with it. Too many folks, including myself, are moving off a putter way too fast. I'm trying to get away from that.
