Here we take a look at some of the best golf putters currently on the market designed for women.
Best Women’s Putters
Your success with putter in hand will ultimately determine your score so it is crucial that you think about some of the best putters on the market and then take the time to make sure you get the right model to suit your stroke.
There are many considerations, for example, if you are a player that swings more straight back and through, then opt for a face balanced putter, whereas if you have an arc in your putting stroke, you will be better suited to a toe-balanced putter.
The blade is the traditional shape, but the mallet has become increasingly popular for professionals and amateurs alike, as the larger shaped head allows for a deeper centre of gravity, which in turn increases the forgiveness.
A putter is such a personal piece of equipment, so depending on your preferences you must also consider the hosel (where the shaft meets the putter head), size of grip and most importantly, find the right length of putter for the way you stand to the ball.
For more information on this we have created a specific post on how to choose a putter which we definitely recommend checking out. If you are new to the game as well we have also done a guide on the most forgiving putters, all of which could help you find the bottom of the cup more often.

Odyssey Women’s Stroke Lab 2-Ball Putter
+ Great feel and consistency
– The iconic 2-ball look may not be for everyone
Featuring Odyssey’s revolutionary Stroke Lab technology that continues to dominate on Tours around the world, this 2-ball putter, which is one of three models in this collection, is designed specifically for women in a shorter length and with a smaller grip.
The multi-material shaft saves 40 grams of weight, which is redistributed to the head and grip end of the putter. This rebalances the putter for improved tempo and consistency in your stroke.
A White Hot Microhinge Insert provides feel and promotes a pleasing forward roll, and alignment is made easy due to the high contrast silver and blue finish.

Cleveland Frontline Cero Putter
+ Excellent feel and good distance control
– Some golfers will prefer a squarer mallet head shape to aid alignment
The Cleveland Cero putter is part of the Frontline range and is engineered with Tungsten Forward Weighting, which places two Metal Injection Molded (MIM) tungsten weights in the face of the putter.
By moving weight forward, which allows the centre of gravity to be positioned closer to the face, this promotes better stability through impact for straighter and more accurate putts.
Every Frontline model features Cleveland’s Speed Optimised Face Technology (SOFT) to normalise ball speed across the face for consistent distance control and the face’s SOFT pattern helps mitigate speed and distance loss, especially on off-centre strikes.
There are two different hosel types on offer. The single bend option is ideal for straight stroke types, while the slant neck option fits best for golfers with a slight arc stroke.

Evnroll ER10 Outback Putter
+ Great for distance control and alignment
– Comes in with a hefty price tag
The Evnroll ER10 Outback is a face-balanced mallet putter with a very distinctive look. A lightweight 6061 aluminium body is coated in a scratch-resistant Black Armor finish, and a stainless steel boomerang-shaped wing at the back, hence the name ‘Outback’, combine to create a stable base and ultra-high MOI for greater forgiveness on off-centre hits.
Putts are easy to align thanks to the two front-to-back sight lines that frame the ball at address and Evnroll’s Sweet Face technology results in consistent distance even on mishits.
The grip incorporates a lightweight foam body with a steel rod running the length of its lower spine. By moving twice the grip’s weight directly below and ½ inch away from the shaft allows for greater feel and helps to maintain a square putter face through impact.
