What to look for in a used putter
- Mallets are more stable and forgiving. Blades suit a stroke with some arc.
- Length matters more than brand. Most golfers need 33 to 35 inches.
- Putters barely wear out, so a used one is often the best value in the bag.
How we picked
Every club here is a real model we track across official store feeds and eBay. We rank them on how forgiving they are, how recent the design is, and how much you save compared with the launch price. Prices are the typical used price as of 2026-10-01, using sample prices until live store prices launch. Stores may pay us a commission, which never changes the order.
