Custom Putters – 11 Companies Golfers Should Know About
Custom putters have exploded in popularity over the last several years in the golf industry. There are so many options available now to players not named Scotty Cameron. I want to showcase many of the independent manufacturers out there making quality designs.
Our list includes custom putter companies that are using a high-quality manufacturing process, custom options in terms of design and/or specifications, and have developed unique technology. Most importantly, they are all independently owned and not part of any of the major manufacturers in the golf industry.
Be prepared to drool!
Bettinardi
Based out of Chicago, Bettinardi has been churning out boutique putter designs since the 1990s, and have a pretty incredible showcase of custom work in their portfolio. They also have an impressive line of putters that are being used by touring pros and amateurs around the world.
Recently they released an interesting arm-lock technology currently being used by Matt Kuchar. They are certainly one of the leaders when it comes to custom putters.

Edel Golf
Edel golf is also another name that has gained popularity in the custom putter world over the past few years. Based out of Texas, they have focused on design and innovation, and created some of the most unique putters on the market. They have built up an impressive network of fitters as well to make sure you are getting the right design and specs for their unique flatsticks.
Website
Carbon Putters
Carbon putters have received numerous awards in the industry for the performance of their milled putters. They have more customization options than most companies out there, especially if you are looking to create a work of art. Located near Denver, they are building some of the finest blades around.
Website
Lamb Crafted
Tyson Lamb’s name has been floating around the putting world the last few years, and many have called him the next Scott Cameron. You could make a strong case he is creating the finest custom putters currently available, and some of his designs have fetched thousands of dollars since they are such unique pieces of artwork. You can only purchase putters as custom designs, which adds a bit of mystique to the name. In other words, be prepared to open up your wallets!

![custom putters]()
MLA Golf is a Swiss putter company that has made a splash in the industry and received a few awards for their patented-alignment system. They allow golfers to adjust weights to fit their particular stroke, which adds to their customization options. They are certainly worth a look because they are combining design, quality, and some new technology that other putters don’t have.
Website
See More Putters
See More Putters are worth a mention on this list because of their unique alignment system, and their growing popularity in the putting industry (as well as with tour players). Their patented Riflescope technology helps golfers set up their putter on their target line.
Website
Evnroll Putters
Evnroll makes the list despite not offering a custom putter design simply because they have technology that has been recognized as superior to other putter companies. The grooves on their putter are designed to give you a more consistent strike on the golf ball even if you miss the sweet spot. This is a big deal for putters who are looking for more speed control, which is arguably the most important factor for successful putters.
Happy New Year,
I hope you all had a great New Year and that 2018 blesses you with much
success. My name is Gunnery Sergeant Shawn Potvin and I am a United States
Marine currently deployed to Japan. I am working at Camp Fuji which is at
the base of Mount Fuji. We are a very small installation of roughly 150
Marines. Our sole mission is to facilitate and coordinate training for
larger U. S. units as they rotate through here for 30-60 days. Since we are
small there isn’t a whole lot for the Marines to do. I am an avid golfer and
you know I brought my clubs out here with me, as with a few of the other
guys. We all had hopes of playing on some local courses but the green fee is
$150. For 18 holes, I could play Augusta for that!
A few of us have been chipping toward a 5 gallon bucket on the grass patch
next to our building. Once the younger guys started seeing this they started
coming over asking to try themselves. We now have a handful of Marines
interested in the game and I had an idea. (this is the question part)
We do have an empty supply warehouse that I would love to turn into an
indoor golf area for the current golfers and the future golfers we will
introduce to the game. We were thinking about having a small clinic to teach
the new guys about the game, swinging, and putting. The problem is,
well…..we have nothing. I was wondering if your company would be able to
donate anything to help us set this up. I am thinking a few driving/chipping
mats, putting greens, and some nets to hit into. We would obviously need
clubs and balls but am only asking for older used clubs and recycled balls
(I am not going to let them all use mine, hey my wife got them for
me)……lol
I look forward to hearing from you and want to thank you for your time and
consideration.
Thank you and God Bless,
GySgt Shawn Potvin
Why are there so few pro golfers who use center-shafted blade putters?
Titleist, or more specifically those designed by Scotty Cameron, was about the last mass producer of center shaft blade putters almost 20 years ago. Cameron based his design upon the classic icon that was created by John Rueter over 60 years ago. There are still many of those soft cast brass beauties on the used market albeit with assorted dings and dents that can affect price as easily as the variations on the theme. The one company that more recently produced a gorgeous two sided type putter is Louisville Golf. This typically has been listed as the Louis 2.5 model- it features a hand finished persimmon core with brass plates attached to either side. It is well balanced for either right or left hand use. Louisville Golf may still have this model available. I own one and am always on the look out for another.
