The performance gap in our “first versus worst” blade putter comparison was eye-opening. If you use a blade putter and feel you may need an upgrade, you are in the right place. We tested 39 putters this year. The first overall was the Evnroll Neo Classic ER2, and the worst was the Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport +.
Putt distance: Five feet
When testing blade putters, we evaluate performance from five, 10 and 20 feet. Scores are weighted: 55 percent for 10-foot putts, 25 percent for five-foot putts and 20 percent for 20-foot putts. This method ensures the top finishers for the best golf putters of 2024 are most likely to perform when a one-putt is needed.
The Evnroll Neo Classic ER2 was the best overall putter from five feet. For 60 percent of our testing pool, the ER2 was the best blade putter on these shorter putts. The Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport + was third from the bottom.
Putt distance: 10 feet
The 10-foot putts are the ones you need to make. Making even one or two 10-foot putts in a round can improve your score. The ER2 was also among the leaders from 10 feet in addition to its stellar performance from five feet.
The Evnroll ER2’s subtle alignment aid helps golfers be more aware of their lie angle and increases consistency in putting. It earned the title of Best Blade Putter of 2024.
Performance from 10 feet for Scotty Cameron was again near the bottom of the list.
Putt distance: 20 feet
From 20 feet, the Evnroll ER2 had its weakest performance. It tied with the Scotty Cameron as one of the worst putters from the 20-foot range. Consider the Cleveland HB Soft 2 #1, Tommy Armour Impact #2, or the PING PLD Anser if you struggle with longer putts.
Value
The Evnroll ER2 and the Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport + are priced about the same. Based on the performance results of each, the Evnroll ER2 is the better investment.
Bottom line
If you are set on a Scotty Cameron blade-style putter, the Scotty Cameron Super Select Squareback 2 had much better performance than the Super Select Newport +. Evnroll may not be as much of a household name as Scotty Cameron but the ER2 has proved to be the best blade putter of 2024. Go get fitted and see if it works for your game.

You’re no Matsuyama!! The pro’s also hit blades with tiny sweet spots – is that also the best iron for your game?
The MGS testing pool is average golfers, not professionals.
