Choosing a Putter: Insert or Milled?

In the world of golf, choosing a putter is a critical decision that can significantly impact your performance. Eric Hickman, a master fitter from True Spec Golf, shares insights on the key differences between insert and milled putters and offers guidance on selecting the right tool.

Insert putters consist of two components: a metal head and a soft face insert, often made of urethane, which enhances ball control and softens strikes. In contrast, milled putters are crafted from a single piece of metal, providing a firmer, more solid feel. These putters typically feature a deeper face pattern, aiding in managing ball speed and trajectory.

The choice of putter depends on your playing style. Soft inserts are ideal for those wanting to soften impacts and enhance control, while milled putters benefit players who prefer a firm feel and precision across varying green speeds.

Professional putter fitting, as offered by True Spec Golf, can help determine the best putter for you, taking into account all aspects of your game. Remember, the best putter is the one that works for you.
