Yes, a Tour filled / lined CS two ball white hot. ($100).
I have many high $$$ putters and while I like them all none of them will make as many putts as the two-ball.

I picked up a mizuno bettinardi for 90 bones on closest. Love it!

Appreciate the feedback... but i guess i wasn't expecting for answers that are in the 100-200 dollar range. If that's your cheapest putter, congratulations to your wealth.    I think the topic was more targeted toward the folks who game rusted pings, ray cook's, 8802's, older bobby graces, over their high dollar putters that are sleeping in their closet.   When i posted cheapest i meant (found in the garbage to 50 dollar bargain bin putters)...    But there is no right or wrong here, just personal preference.

a 130 putter is not being wealthy lol. since you want in that range ill answer for my pops, he has a old cobra mallet that has been in the bag for a long time, think he payed 30 bucks for it. i even offered to give him my corza ghost mallet and he denied. he will use that putter until he cant golf anymore

^^^   yep that's the ticket, thanks casey.

[cmilz99]

I play my Cleveland Classic ($30) over my Scotty Circa 62/ Studio Select Fastback for the most part.  I also have a Rossa Monte Carlo ($30) that sees a lot of action over the more expensive Scotty(s) I have at my disposal.

[Runt1122]

$30 Fat Lady Swings....

[petter7]

I putt with a fairly expensive putter.

The putters I have that have the best performance and feel are the
ones that have the more expensive technology built into them. Just
my own personal experience.

[PixlPutterman]

$25 Dollar Cleveland 1948 and a old school bullys eye flange I got for $2.

Luckily there arent a ton of options for bullseye style or I would have financial problems

[DRGJR72]

Funny...I have a Scotty Newport one off that I acquired at a PGA tour event that I played in and it is pretty amazing.  But I currently play with a Rife ababcoa that I got for a C note and it is awesome.

It is all about the confidence.  If you make putts with it...it does not matter what it cost.

[RainShadow]

I have a Miz TP Workshop II that I got new for $75 in 2002 I think. It's still on of my favorites. Nice weight and balance, one piece forged w/ flow neck and black/gun blue finish. Best deal I ever got on a new putter.
I am currently gaming a mizuno Bettinardi BC4 I got on the BST for 80 bucks and it's shows alot of use, but he TP Mills goes in the bag fairly often and for fast greens.
I have acouple of W/S 8813's I got at the thrift store for $3 each, but they don's see much play.

I hope this is sarcasm. If you can putt, you can putt with anything. A great putter is a great putter, regardless.

i played most of the summer with a Ping that I paid $35 for

Nope. No sarcasm at all.

I disagree with you about putting with anything. I'm a good putter and I definitely putt
better with well made putters than I do with cheap poorly made putters. It's just a fact.

If you paid a small price for a good putter, that's another story, but, I wouldn't even
consider playing comp golf with a putter that wasn't made with the best of materials
and design. When it comes to scoring, it's the most important club in my bag.

[hougy12]

Here's my list of current putters...can you guess which one rolls it the best for me?  (The thread topic will give you a huge hint)

Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2.5
T.P. Mills Fleetwood
T.P. Mills Tradition II
Odyssey Tour Design Black #6
Ping Anser 4 I-Series

[MarkC]

I like my Forgan 2 ball putter, I paid €35 for it new

[hos]

Snake Eyes I put together for $25. Been in the bag all year. I've got 2 dozen other putters against the wall including 2 Cameron's, a Mills, and a handful of Grace's and Pings. Just really like the Snake Eyes.

[tdog4]

I gamed a Scotty Kombi for most of the year.  Had some money issues and had to sell some things.  $300 putter had to go first.  Went to the local golfsmith and found a Cleveland T Frame that someone just traded in.  It will not be leaving my bag anytime soon.  Cleveland was $225 less than the Scotty and I have never putter better.

If I'm on slower greens, I usually put the high dollar putters away and bring out my Ray Cook Billy Baroo.
