Putting is where strokes are saved. A properly fit putter — matched to your stroke arc, face-balancing preference, and green speeds — is worth 2–4 strokes per round for most golfers. That is more than any other single equipment change. This page covers every putter review XS Golf publishes, focusing on the factors that determine putting performance: face rotation, impact pattern and gate-to-gate consistency, drawn from manufacturer specs and independent third-party data.

The metrics that most reliably predict putter performance are face angle at impact, impact-point consistency and stroke tempo. Our reviews weigh manufacturer specifications and independent testing from sources like MyGolfSpy and Today’s Golfer against these factors.
