Face balanced putters with little to no offset

[moorebaseball]

Looking for recommendations for little to no offset. Not a fan of center shafted putters, but all others are open for discussion. What do you like?

[MattM97]

Not full face balanced or no offset but Bettinardi is probably the best OTR option at 1/2 offset 

[CUBuffaloes]

Not face balanced but torque free. The Axis1 Tour HM is a solid putter worth considering.

That has full offset. 

[ChxDigLongBall]

Most anything center shafted? Ping DS72c, Scotty Phantom 5s, Odyssey makes a few.

[Michael Shanker]

Taylormade Ghost, the Est 79 models are pretty cool, and cheap

Wilson Infinite South Side

SC Newport 2.6

Bettinardi BHB3-C

Odyssey O-works R-line CS

Bettinardi BB45 is face balanced and not too much offset... just got one as it works bizarrely well for me.

Only New putters? Or Are 2nd-hand putters= in-scope?

 

eg consider @SeeMore Putters

…or Rife 2-bar?

the above post just reminded me...

 

Seemore Giant Mini Deep flange

 

Fabulous.

I went into a PGA superstore Vernon Hills, and wanted to try the LAB golf putter...

 

they only had an Arm lock DF - which was fine, but the very large flat area on the arm lock grip on that model just put me off.. the Axis1 putters were surprisingly good too - and yes, i ended up with a Bettinardi BB45 but it was the Seemore Giant Mini Deep flange that really was great too.

 

'Usual' grip on that was nice (Superstroke something?) but oddly one model they had with a Garsen grip was even better for me... but still - for face balance and no offset this is has to be tried. try the Deep Flange model. Looks great, feels great.

 The 2.6 has no offset with the center shaft, but isn't face balanced.

Mini Giant Deep Flange - "MGDF" - is something that if you see it needs to be picked up and try it.  Trust your set-up and it will show you where you are aimed.

I don't like any of them, but ping made a few models over the years that were fave balanced and had little offset. The vault Oslo was one. 

[mjo23]

This question has been asked like 3 times in the past month, which is a bit strange considering this putter spec is nearly non-existent. Almost every face-balanced (non-center-shafted) putter will have full shaft offset. Bettinardi is the only brand I know of that might come close to making this spec. The exact toe-hang and offset varies a bit from model to model, but Bettinardi’s ‘spud neck’ putters might be what you’re looking for

 

This spec is a unicorn so i’m a bit skeptical that 3 different people actually have inquired about this. I hope op here isn’t posting the same question from different accounts.

Is it physically possible to be face balanced with no offset and not be center shafted?

Yes it's all about the shaft axis it's just that most OEMs focus on what the masses wants. 

[mkidding]

Not a popular brand for putter but Cleveland has what is closed to a "single-bend" putter shaft for FB putters

I have this putter. Heel shafted double bend. I got a ding on it. Is the M7 Tour Offset Platinum Putter similar to the z2c in feel and performance?

 

thanks!

The M7 Tour offset is a great gamer.  It is similar in feel and performance.  Just practice and trust your alignment and you will be make more putts than you think.  Keep us posted and contact us anytime at [email protected].  Thanks for being a part of the SeeMore family.
