The 10 Best Blade Putters of 2025
Want a classic-looking putter with modern performance? These are the best blade putters for you!

Blade putters are for players who love the classic, minimalist look, and typically (but not always) favor those who have some arc in their putting stroke. And if you happen to fall into both categories, you’re in luck, because there are some fantastic blade putters out there today that combine stunning looks with modern performance.
These are the 10 best blade putters of 2025.
Our Rigorous Putter Testing Process
In order to provide you with the most accurate and trustworthy lists of the best putters in every category, the GolfLink editorial staff has tested over 200 different putters from dozens of manufacturers, stroking thousands of putts throughout our testing, dating back to 2022. Testing has taken place everywhere from the course and the practice green by the first tee, to multiple manufacturer headquarters, PGA Shows and big box retailers. If there’s a putter you’re considering putting in your bag, we’ve made an effort to get our hands on it.
As a result of our extensive hands-on testing, you get unbiased, first-hand feedback on how almost every putter available stacks up to the competition, and which golfers each putter benefits.
The Best Blade Putters
We’ll take a deeper dive into what characteristics you should look for in a blade putter, and who they fit best a little later on. First, let’s meet the 10 best blade putters of 2025.
- Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2
- PING PLD Milled Anser
- Cobra Vintage Sport
- Meridian Charleston
- Odyssey Ai-ONE & Ai-ONE Square 2 Square
- Astral Blade
- Mizuno M CRAFT OMOI Type II
- Zebra Milled Series 004
- Bettinardi Antidote SB1 Counter Balance
- Odyssey White Hot OG
Best Overall: Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2

Good luck finding a better blade putter than the Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2
In what is likely the least surprising inclusion on this list, the Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2 is a timeless design that has all of the attributes you’d expect from a Scotty. No insert in the face, solid stainless steel, and the feel that only the best precision milling can provide.
Scotty Cameron gave the 2023 Super Select Newport 2 improved weight distribution while maintaining that classic look. Cameron did this by removing weight from the neck, front, and back. That weight was repositioned under the heel and toe weight ports to improve forgiveness. The Super Select also got an updated milling pattern that blends feel, consistency and feedback.
The feel at impact is something only a Cameron can deliver. These Titleist beauties have always required an element of feel from the golfer, so if distance control is a non-issue for you, play away.
PING PLD Milled Anser

The gunmetal finish on the new PING PLD Milled Anser putters is sleek
In January of 1966, Karsten Solheim designed PING's first Anser putter because he felt the golf world, including himself, needed a better putter design. Today, the Anser is still the best-selling putter of all time with seemingly every manufacturer producing a version of it.
PING currently makes several versions of the Anser, but it’s the 2024 PLD Milled Anser putter that took us for a ride. The previous generation’s matte-black finish was exchanged for a sleek gunmetal finish in 2024. Paired with a black shaft, this Anser is all business.
I tested the new PLD Milled Anser at the 2024 PGA Show, and my biggest takeaway was that it’s impossible not to feel confident when stroking putts with this putter. From the history of the Anser line to the striking gunmetal finish and minimalist looks, you can almost feel the PING legacy in your hands.
I also had the benefit of a live micro-fitting with a PING guru while testing the 2024 PLD Milled putter, which made it easy to identify the perfect version of this putter for my stroke.
The one element of this putter that’s tough to stomach is the $450 price. That puts it in direct competition with the Bettinardi’s and Scotty Cameron’s of the world. While the PLD Milled Anser can certainly hang with the best of the best, it’s ultimately up to you, the consumer, to determine if the price is right.
Cobra Vintage Sport

The new Cobra Vintage Sport putter has a softer insert and still offers Descending Loft Technology
The Cobra KING Vintage line of putters is one of our favorites on the market today because of one feature that pretty much no other putter offers. It’s called Descending Loft Technology (DLT), and it is a game-changer when it comes to guaranteeing a consistent roll.
Most putters have one loft, just a few degrees. LA Golf’s Descending Loft Technology in the Cobra KING Vintage putters has four. The top of the putter face has four degrees of loft, and each horizontal quadrant decreases in loft by one degree, all the way down to the one-degree bottom of the putter face. This technology guarantees that whether you hit the center, or miss high or low on the face, the ball rolls the same. It’s genius, and it’s effective. This Descending Loft Technology is now part of LA Golf, and Cobra is the only company outside of LA Golf with access to it.
So, if you want a blade putter with DLT but don’t want to buy a putter with a comma in the price tag, the Vintage Sport from Cobra is for you
DLT isn’t the only technology in the Vintage Sport putter. It has toe and heel weight ports with 20g stock weights in each, and the option to buy 10g, 15g, or 25g weights to adjust feel and stability. Cobra’s 2024 edition of the Vintage line also got an upgraded Pebax insert, which has a very soft, satisfying feel at impact.
I tested the Vintage Sport at the PGA Show and was struck by how easy it was to control speed and distance. The softer face insert was also quite noticeable compared to the previous generation, which I spent considerable time testing.
The blade version of the Vintage putter is available in two toe hang options, a plumber’s neck with 40 degrees of toe hang, and a flow neck with 60 degrees.
Meridian Charleston Blade Putter

Meridian putters are gaining some serious momentum, and for good reason
Meridian putters are gaining some serious momentum, and after logging significant numbers of putts with Meridian putters at the last two PGA Shows, and double-checking that consumer-friendly price, I’m not surprised one bit.
I can almost guarantee that there’s a Meridian putter that will catch your eye. That’s because with five different head shapes, three finish options, and your choice of three milling patterns there’s a color, shape and feel combination for just about everyone.
The Charleston putter is Meridian's classic blade offering, and personally, I don’t know how you could go wrong with the fly cut (medium feel) milling and goldish Oil Can finish on the traditional head shape.
The Charleston is available in mid-slant neck and plumber’s neck options, each with 44-degrees of toe hang. But much to straight-back, straight-through putters’ delight, there’s also a face-balaned option.
The best part is, each starts at just $239, with customization options, like custom stamping on the toe or heel, available with any order.
Odyssey Ai-ONE Blade & Ai-ONE Square 2 Square Blade

Odyssey's new Ai-ONE putter promises fewer three-putts
Fewer three-putts.
That’s what Odyssey is selling with its new Ai-ONE putter. How, you ask? Well, Odyssey used AI to design a face that produces the most consistent ball speed possible from the center, to misses on the toe and heel side. Odyssey’s claim is that the new Ai-ONE putter leaves misses 21% closer to the hole.
In testing the Ai-ONE blade, I had no way to measure a miss with another putter to a miss with the Ai-ONE, so we’re going to have to take Odyssey’s word on that part. I can tell you, however, that the White Hot insert is perfectly on-brand from a soft and satisfying standpoint. If you've hit any White Hot putter, you know what I'm talking about.
The back of the putter has a window where you can see the AI-designed face.
Odyssey added to its Ai-ONE line with three Ai-ONE Square 2 Square putters, the zero torque side of the familly, late in 2024. One of those head styles is of course, a blade, which means if you want this putter in a zero torque option, you can have it.
If you’re not a fan of the White Hot feel, Odyssey also offers a milled edition of the Ai-ONE putter. That one costs $150 more ($449), exchanges the window in the cavity for a traditional one-piece look, and is finished with premium-looking gold accents.
Astral Blade Putter

The Astral putter is completely modular, allowing you to build it to your exact specs
If you’re a tinkerer, or you just want every element of your putter built to your exact specifications, you should check out the new Astral Blade putter.
Astral, which launched at the 2024 PGA show, is a unique modular putter that allows you and your fitter (or just you) to dial in your face, lie angle, offset, and toe hang specifications.
I’ve written about this before, but there’s no excuse to use a putter that’s ill-fit for your stroke. It’s too easy to get a putter fitting, or even do it yourself at home. I had the luxury of an in-person putter fitting, and a DIY at-home putter fitting before unboxing and building my own Astral putter. Building the Astral putter to work with my stroke immediately improved my accuracy, and knowing the putter was configured to my specs gives me a ton of confidence on the greens, which is an awesome feeling.

Why You Need a Putter Fitting and How to Do It Yourself
On top of the performance, the Astral is a great-looking blade putter. The black head and shaft are accented nicely by a brass or copper face insert (choose your own feel) to complete a satisfying look.
Astral Putters will be available publicly this year.
Mizuno M CRAFT OMOI Type II

Stunning looks and $100 less than Scotty, Anser and Bettinardi. Why don't more players use Mizuno putters?
In my opinion, this Mizuno blade rivals the aforementioned PING Anser as the best traditional-looking blade putter of 2025. Between the milled face and all-black finish (blue and silver heads are also available), with virtually no visible markings from the address position, you can’t find a cleaner-looking putter.
After spending considerable time hitting putts of all lengths and varieties with this OMOI blade, my biggest takeaway was “why don’t more people use Mizuno putters?” and the truth is I still can’t find an answer to that question.
The OMOI release builds on the M CRAFT line with a heavier head weight for more stability and increased MOI, which of course results in a more forgiving putter.
If you want a premium, one-piece putter and don’t mind saving $100 over the likes of Scotty Cameron, PING Anser and Bettinardi, you need to check out the Mizuno M CRAFT OMOI blade.
Zebra Milled Series 004

Check out the milled face on the Zebra Milled Series putters
Zebra made a splash when it released its comeback putters, the AIT series in 2023, and followed that up with a more premium, Milles Series line in 2024.
We tested the Milled Series 001, the mallet of the family, and were thoroughly impressed. The Milled Series 004 is blade in the lineup, and boasts the same benefits.
First of all, check out the milled face. It’s premium looking and it delivers an excellent feel. The weights in the head are interchangeable, so if you want to adjust the head weight up or down, you can easily do so – you just have to buy the weights separately.
Of course, every Zebra putter features Zebra’s iconic striped alignment aid.

Bettinardi Antidote SB1 Counter Balance

Bettinardi already has a reputation as one of highest-quality putter makers out there, but that hasn’t stopped the brand from keeping up with the latest trends in putters. In fact, Bettinardi capitalizes on two of the hottest trends in putters with its Antidote SB1 Counter Balance putter.
The Antidote line is Bettinardi’s maiden voyage into zero torque putters, and there is a mallet and standard blade that accompany this counter balance blade within the lineup. The zero torque profile of the putter helps players keep the putter head square to their path throughout the stroke, which makes it easier to hit putts online. In case you haven’t been keeping up, this whole class of putters is designed to take one-third of the putting equation (hitting it online) out of play, leaving you with just picking the right line and hitting it with the proper speed to worry about.
Beyond that zero torque technology this edition is a counter balance putter. That’s another hot putting trend in which the putter is around 38-inches long, instead of the standard 34 or 35-inches, and has a much longer grip than you’re used to seeing with a heavier head as well. However, you still grip the putter where you’d grip a 34-inch putter, which leaves extra mass above your hands, counterbalancing that heavier head. That allows the player to adjust their grip higher or lower on the shaft to dial in their preferred swing weight. At the end of the day, that should help improve distance control, as well as feel.
So, if you want a blade putter from one of the most reputable brands in the game with the latest and greatest technology and features, this Bettinardi Antidote SB1 Counter Balande flat stick just might be for you.
Odyssey White Hot OG One

It’s trendy to throw around the term “OG” to establish some credibility and perhaps even some nostalgia. While Odyssey may benefit from those elements with its recent White Hot OG One blade putter release, the OG truly represents Odyssey’s original White Hot face insert. Odyssey re-recreated its first urethane insert and put it in a circa-2001 White Hot putter, with today’s tech under the hood, with its newer line of White Hot OG putters.
The blade, which is the One model and one of eight head shapes. If you’ve stroked a White Hot putter in the last 20-plus years, you know how this putter feels. It’s soft, muted, and smooth.
One thing you can get with the White Hot OG putter that you couldn’t get 20 years ago is a Stroke Lab shaft for only $50 extra, or opt for the stock, stepless steel shaft. Either way, you can bag the newest, OG, hottest Odyssey putter for $200-250.
Does a Blade Putter Fit Your Stroke?
A blade putter is a traditional-looking putter with a small head and usually some sort of cavity.
Many players prefer a blade simply because it’s what they’ve always played. We never shame players for choosing equipment based on personal preference, but it’s important to examine why you use a blade, because different blade putters can fit different players.
If the evidence is stacked against your logic, consider testing out a different putter style. At the end of the day, we want you to drain more long ones and win your friendly Nassau.
Blade putters have historically been the best fit for players with an arc in their putting stroke. Numerous mallet putters today cater to the arced putting strokes, but a blade is still the best option for an arc.
Forgiveness has also changed across blade putters. If you want to draw a line in the sand, blade putters are, as whole, less forgiving than mallet putters. Technology, however, has allowed club-makers to create more forgiving putter faces.
Here are some key points that we considered when determining our list of the best blade putters. Use these guidelines in your own research and testing to find the best putter for your stroke.
Head Shape
You use your putter more than any other club in your bag, so you better like what you’re looking down at. The shape of the putter’s head is subjective, what you like doesn’t have to be what the rest of your foursome likes. If it instills confidence in your game, you’re already halfway to the best fit for your game.
Forgiveness
Putters are significantly more forgiving today than they were even 10 years ago. While testing hundreds of different putters, we purposely made a few off-center strikes to see which putters steered our ball straight, which ran offline, and how severely each putter came up short. Yes, we found some blades that excelled in the forgiveness category, even outperforming some mallet putters.
Feel
Weight is a big factor with any putter. Some players prefer a heavier head, which you’ll likely find among some of the more expensive models due to the material cost. Some players prefer a lighter putter. Feel is a huge factor and we went beyond the clubhead and looked at stock shafts and grips and found several combinations of head weight and handles that created a better feel than others.
One important note with head weight and feel is that it can translate to stability. If the putter head appears to wobble offline during your stroke, a heavier head may add some stability to your stroke.
Price
Putter prices are all over the map, so we took into account how much bang you get for your buck. There are plenty of people who are comfortable spending $400-plus on a Scotty Cameron, and those who would rather spend a quarter of that. Sometimes you're paying for the extras that come along with your putter, such as the headcover and tools (if applicable).

The Best Budget Putters Under $100 and $200 of 2024
The Final Putt
Not all blade putters are created equal. Throughout the time that we took to test these putters, we found blades to be some of the most difficult to compartmentalize, partially because there’s so much variance in what is and is not considered a blade today.
One thing is for sure, if you have an arc in your putting stroke, not only is a blade the best solution for you, you now have more great options than ever. Be our guest and try as many of these putters as you can before making your investment.
