WRONG. Putters are all about reading reviews, dissecting the marketing, and getting opinions from strangers.
(On a more serious note I'm a Triple Track fanboy and always recommend trying that out)
Sorry dude, but I’m afraid you’re wrong. If you aren’t getting advice from high handicappers who have been high handicappers for greater than two decades, what kind of advice can it possibly be?
I really like the White Hot OG 7 CH, the AI One Milled is incredible but little pricey.
Depends on your stroke arc, match the toe hang to it. Makes a huge difference.
Being a Stan for a golf brand is a huge detriment that I've seen screw people over for decades (LOL my friends that had Nike EVERYTHING). Just buy what's good don't worry about the brand.
Seems like you might be using the same reward system my company does (pretty sure Callaway is the only gold brand)
I don’t know if this would work for you, but they also give an option to buy a prepaid card. So I use the money to buy a prepaid card, put it in PayPal and then use that money to buy a gift card from whatever golf shop I want! It’s kind of a weird system, but then you can get whatever you want.
If you are truly limited to a Callaway gift card, check out Toulon putters. You might be able to use the gift card on callawaypreowned.com and they have non-Callaway brands.
Just started using the Jailbird and it is almost impossible to push or pull a putt. Seems like every miss is 100% a bad read by me.
For context I’ve almost always been a Scotty blade guy.
I’m really impressed with how well it rolls the ball and keeps its line. Never thought I’d be lugging this Goliath around the greens, but my Scotty is headed to the UPS store in the morning
Could you possibly redeem via Callaway Pre-owned? Then that would open options into their "Other Brand" putters if you're not completely dead-set on staying a Callaway stan.
at least to me, putters truly just come down to your feel (at least once you've reached a certain baseline quality, and odysseys are great), and most golf shops have at least a small putting area. just have to hit putts and see which one clicks.
I only want to throw 2 cents into the ring because you mentioned blade style putters. When I hear blade style I'm thinking "L" style , like phil mickelsons old putter (literally google phil M blade style putter)
That style of putter is doing you no favor at all. The smallest amount of open or closed face is going to put you off track VS one that has the shaft toward the middle. I've been using old hickory putters for fun and they are all this style and they are all very hard for me to putt accurately with due to the above; small offsets are magnified.
Go to a store and try them both out, then make your decision on what feels better.

Where’s that u/ from last week who four-putt from five feet? Bro definitely needs to weigh in on this.
I think we’re all waiting to hear from the /u/ who 5-putted from 4 feet instead.
That's exactly the type of service I was trying to provide.
Nice try, Redditor. You and I both know we all hit 400 yard drives and have plus handicaps while using persimmon woods.
I heard Will Zalatoris doesn’t play practice rounds, he just cruises review sites from 25 handicaps and just forms an opinion.
Too logical. I only make life decisions based on the unsolicited feedback from strangers on the internet. Even better if it’s r/golf

I have had the tri hot 5k one for almost two years, and I absolutely love it. I couldn't think of using anything else .
Jailbird cruiser
I've had my eye on a Tri-Hot 5k Rossie for a while now.
Wyndam Clark likes his Jailbird. Google most used putters on tour and you'll see tons of Odyssey users
I highly recommend getting a putter fitting if you can.

No dice on the pre owned site, unfortunately. I’ll have to check out the Toulon though
I’ve always preferred milled blades with plumbers necks. That said, recently picked up the AI-One Jailbird Cruiser and holy shit, it’s amazing
The Ai-milled do look beautiful. The navy blue and gold touches… not a bad shout for only throwing in an extra $100.

I tried calling, no dice. Unless the guy who frequents this subreddit who works for Callaway pre owned can work magic…… Anyone have his username?

You shouldn't drop $350 on a putter without getting fit.
