What is the most forgiving putters available?

I currently own a Cameron and find it not too forgiving, has a small sweet spot!

Bobby Grace "Amazing Grace" MOI
Ping Doc 15
Ping JAS Craz-e one

Anything with CG far back and good perimeter weighting. Helps resist twisting on off center strikes.

Maybe the new Taylormade Spider

I have a problem with hitting putts off the toe...I have already gotten an order in for this putter once released in April. The great thing is the price tag...$129 is awesome for a putter with that kind of forgiveness.

Bobby Grace "MOI" is very forgiving and stable and resists twisting. Good distance control as well.

Mcgregor Face Off

The Ping Doc. There is no way that you can miss with that monster.

I agree that the face off is the most forgiving putter in the game and there is research to support that fact...but at $200 the price is a little steep, maybe not for some though. Tne faceoff putter is called the Faceoff DCT, and only has 3 models...his new line in the link I provided earlier is the newer $129 DCT, with 7 differenct models (distance control technology)....Bobby Grace is just a synonym for forgiveness!
Check them out!

I have to give another nod to the Bobby Grace designed "Face Off" by Mcgregor. I love mine.

I like the TM Inza. The MWT allows you to adjust the SW to your liking. It wants to swing in a pendulum without manipulation. A ball hit anywhere on the face goes in the direction the putter is pointed with very little loss of distance on off-center hits. Contact is surprisingly soft and the ball does not go as far as you initially think it would for a given stroke length given the size of the putter head.

It is not the prettiest or most elegant putter (to say the least) and some people (especially those that favor blade-style putters) may struggle with distance control on long putts. I have always putted my best with mallet putters and so far (through 7 rounds) I have really enjoyed the Inza. Once you line it up all you have to think about is distance, the ball is going to go in the direction you've aimed.

Other putters I have used in the last few years include PING Anser, Scotty Studio Design 2.5, TP Mills blade, TM Mezza Monza, Scotty Red X, and Odyssey Black #9. So far, I like the performance of the Inza the best and the looks of the Scotty SD 2.5 the best (but I can't sink a putt with looks).

Most forgiving putter I have ever hit was the Ping Doc 12.5.

I just got the Gemspot putter as a gift and I've never putted so well. It's gorgeous and it's very forgiving. Definitely a club for a gal who loves golf.

This weekend I used it for the first time. I never 3-putted a single green and that's the first time in 4 years I can say that.

So I'm sold!

I'd be saying the Taylormade Monza Spider myself.

What about heavy putter?

Just picked up a DCT 3 face off for $129 at golfsmith - rolling it on carpet for the past 2 hours - seems pretty forgiving...

Taylor Made Spider or Guerin Rife Two Bar Hybrid

We will know blade putters will not be as forgiving as mallets.

There are two factors to consider, high MOI and distance control.

High-MOI putters will prevent twisting of the face at the impact.
Putters like DCT Face Off will prevent losing distance on off-center hits.

maybe the odyssy sabertooth? i haven't hit it, not even sure if it's out yet

Sabertooth
TM Spyder
Ping Doc

All ugly, all put REALLY straight.....just cant get over the looks of them......even my White Hot XG 2 Ball SRT is a little disgusting to me, but I make puts with it, so I game it from time to time.

Doc 17, without doubt. The problem is, your buddies will NEVER forgive you for using it.
