Straight Putters

I am looking for a putter that flies dead straight with no fade. Any recommendations?

Gumbputt, which also plays like a midrange driver in a pinch

I am so happy with the Gateway Magic S-Soft I can't begin to tell you. It flys so straight for me. I love locking down on that one link in the chains you want hit.

Straight Putters

I have always preferred the wizard or the aviar (star or pro). Both will help make improvements to your game.

I have actually ordered on of those and it should be here next week. I look forward to trying it.

What about the Areo?

The Aero has a larger diameter and the nose comes to a sharper angle than a putter...so it is designed more like a driver. It has that large diameter, so it glides great. If you can figure out how to finesse it and take advantage of the glide, you can use it for some nice long straight approach shots. However, the nose is not blunt enough IMO to be an effective as a putter. It just does not grab the chains like an Aviar or Wizard.

Let us know what you think of it, after you get to use it for a while.

When I decided to add a straight putter in my bag this is the one I got. It goes where your hand goes. I love it.
