Must have — Six great belly putters
Following up after our latest article that is catching a lot of buzz- “The Book On Belly Putters” we thought it would be appropriate to show you a closer look at some top Belly Putter options. GolfWRX talked to leading putter fitters and designers to provide you with everything you need to know about belly putters. We’ll help you decide if a belly putter is right for you, how to get fit, and even how to use one. Here is a link to the article that has gone viral.
Here are six great belly putters-
SuperStroke Fatso- The DCF-27 Diamond Cut Finish is vertically milled with a proprietary specialized machining process. Its performance even outshines its luxurious appearance. According to designer Bruce Sizemore this results in finely spaced vertical friction that creates the truest, most consistent roll in golf. GolfWRX having tested this belly also believe the lines on the top of the head allow you to frame the ball and stroke the putt with confidence. Excellent option and one that you wont see in every bag. Click here to read all about Bruce Suzemore

Ping Nome Belly- The Nome belly features adjustable shafts. An adjustment tool loosens a stainless steel ring, allowing you to easily self-adjust the length from 37.5 to 46.5 inches on the belly, and 44.5 to 54.5 inches on the long putter to optimize the fit and performance. The black alignment bar and white sightline ensure consistent accuracy when lining up your putts. Click here to read a full review.

Odyssey Metal #7 Belly- The new Metal-X insert provides the crisp feedback of a metal striking force, coupled with amazing feel. The unique face pattern generates the truest roll in golf and the ovals on the face develop a mechanical lock with the golf ball’s dimples at impact, creating friction and imparting an incredibly consistent roll for high precision distance control. Packed in the modern day 2-ball this head shape has performed on tour time and time again.

TaylorMade Ghost Manta Belly- Rich and more durable white finish eliminates glare; high contrast with turf makes aiming easy. New large performance mallet shape promotes great feel and excellent stability on mis-hits. PureRoll Surlyn face insert promotes forward spin for a smooth, accurate roll and beautiful soft feel. Dual alignment lines frame the ball, making aiming easy while maintaining a clean and simple appearance. Click here to read the full review
SeeMore M Series Belly- All SeeMore belly putters feature the patented RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment system, for a true reference point for perfect alignment and set up on every putt. While being stabilized, using a SeeMore belly putter reinforces the same philosophy for consistency as in SeeMore’s standard length putters.
Nike Method Concept Belly- The art is in the profound shape. This radical shape has the appearance of a blade, yet plays like a mallet. This bold red front and the strong black back design radiates Nike and will appeal to those who are curious and are looking for ways to bring a new level of confidence to the putting green.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
