putting a round Your game hinges on your putter. The green is where most of the cinematic moments in golf occur. The simple task of rolling a small white ball into a slightly larger cup serves as the end of a 400 yard journey. On the green, the drama is played out at close range. Will the ball roll too far, die short of the hole or fall neatly into the cup? How will the subtle slope affect the path of my ball? With nearly half of all shots in golf being struck with a putter, it is, by far, the most important club in your golf bag. That’s precisely why club makers continue to pour R & D dollars into perfecting this workhorse of clubs.

The advanced TPE face insert delivers a responsive feel at impact, even on those delicate putts. $49.99 <golfio.com> 2. Ghost Putter Taylormade Rossa Ghost putters are designed to alleviate eyestrain by creating a stark contrast between its white finish and the darker blades of grass on the green. The putter’s two outer black top lines (on the opposite side not shown) are precisely ball width and the centerline helps in ball alignment.

3. Dark Ace The Profound Dark ACE uses double-layer alignment so players can easily confirm that their eyes are over the ball. The correct putter position results in the white top bars hiding the colored lines on the lower part of the club. While putting, if the eyes aren’t positioned correctly, the “motion control center” of the brain will compensate for misalignment by making unintentional movements of the body during the stroke, resulting in missed putts. The Dark ACE can help putters who have difficulty with visual alignment. Price: $359 <profoundputters.com>

4. The Divine 2-Ball Putter Odyssey Divine Line putters feature putt-sinking technology wrapped in styling that is uniquely feminine.
