Huge variety.

Beginners usually don't see a need for more than one in my experience. As golfers get better and start throwing putters more, it becomes necessary to expand your arsenal.

Ken Franks has a great article here: How to throw your putter.

I use my Aviar for anything less than 20 feet. Anything over 20 feet I putt GREAT with a well seasoned Champion Roc3! Just holds a great line.

It took me a while to figure out just how far a putter can go. My little group works hard to get new players out to the course. I am constantly asked, "That was a putter?" It just doesn't seem to come natural early on, especially when throwing your new Leopard or T-bird is so much fun.

 

[SpikeHyzer]

I carry between 4 and 7 depending upon the type of course I'm playing. If I'm playing a wide open type of course, I will carry fewer. If it's a tight wooded course or a course where there's water, I will carry more.

It just doesn't seem to come natural early on, especially when throwing your new Leopard or T-bird is so much fun.

And part of the problem may be that putters generally have tall rims (the Colt being an exception), and thus may be a problem for a four-finger grip. I know I have trouble with almost every putter vis-a-vis a four-finger grip, again with the Colt being the exception. And since newbies can grip their Leopards better, they prefer to throw them. Can't blame them for that.

I typically bag three:
- Fossil Wizard: straight to fade drives. Workhorse "distance driving" putter
- Fossil Serpent: in the circle putts, anny drives, dead straight shots, right drifting lines
- Fossil Scale: overstable shots, forehands, headwind shots, hyzer drives. Takes over workhorse duties in windy rounds.

I love the rigidity of Fossil and that is seasons in slowly and predictably. I like my Serpent to be well seasoned so it will pick up a tick a glide. I like a nice OS Wizard and then an even more OS Scale.

 

[Flip Hyzerman]

Total of 5 usually; sometimes 6.

2 for actual putting [PA4]
1 OS drive/upshot [Zone]
1 straight drive/upshot [Classic Roc]
1 understable drive/upshot [PA4]

I recently added a new ti zone and a second semi broken in z zone to my bag, bringing my putter total to 6 in my bag, and I am considering another between my stable M wizard (old school circle tooling) and my semi-beat z zone. This got me to thinking how many putters people carry in their bag? I know many top pros who carry 5 plus - putting and upshot/drive under to overstable.

How many do you carry and why?

I've gone down to just 2 s-line p1 maniacs. I can throw them accurately on many lines out to about 175'. Great for putting too. The only lines they can't handle are big s turns, and I really don't run into those very often.

 

[Hyzer Ale]

5-6 for me

2 Wizards for putting only
1 ZH Pure that is fairly beat
1 opto Pure
1 ZH Sinus (Beat to Straight) only occasionally in the bag
1 ZS Sinus - more overstable

 

[eric40817]

Im now at 3 putters. Until I get my McPros from the mail when I get home.

- firm atom for long putts and spin putts
-KC Aviar for push putts in the circle and just beyond
- BT Hard Shield for throwing

I did better putting last night with the shield than I did with the KC, so now Im entertaining that as a putter and moving the KC to a throwing spot.

I need to add another zone in the bag too

 

[Disc of Cheese]

Factory pro rhyno for putts.
Beat DX rhyno for short approaches
Flat pfn champ rhyno for slightly more stable shots, utility approaches ( trees), and stable upshots

 

[JUST_able]

4-5 wizards

2-G9i (1new 1 beat)
1-E25
1-Soft

 

[OB Four]

I'm carrying five. The only reason is bc the new Grip AX15 quiver pocket can fit 5 and still close, and also I love throwing putters.

2 X-Line P1x's for putting duties
1 D-Line P1x for straight or turnover drives/approaches
1 Champ Rhyno for straight to stable drives/approaches
1 400s PA1 for overstable

 

[MvpChucker]

2 for now

I carry a Anode and Ion, really digging MVP right now. They do whatever I need

 

[zmannz1984]

Probably too many, but I am trying to thin down again. I have found that I am much better at throwing a putter than a mid for anything where I can't put almost full power on the mid.

-McPro Aviars (2)- one beat for anhyzer putts and finesse approaches, one newer one for putting.
-R Pro Aviar/P-P1 (1)- goes in and out. I use it when I am nervous about overthrowing a mcpro due to skips or rolls. Not as useful as it once was.
-Champion XG Rhyno (1)- windy putts, various utility shots. A staple in my bag for getting out of trouble. Its sticks like glue where ever it lands too.
-S-P2 (1-2)- most approaches, putter drives, FH flicks when I want it to flip up (otherwise throw the rhyno), occasional putting. I basically replaced my mids and the rpro aviar with this. I could probably even drop the mcpros once I get one of these worn in.

 

[DiscDraft]

I bag 4, sometimes 5.
-1 new 175 DX Aviar - Stable putter
-1 older 169 DX Aviar - Less stable putter, upshots and anhyzers
-1 newish 175 gummy Champion Aviar - Driving putter, holds up in wind and even flexes out of slight anhyzer
-1 175 gummy Champion Rhyno - Flicks, upshots and overstable driving putter

Optional:
-1 175 Champion XD - accuracy shots b/c super straight, holds up to wind.
