Test Results You Can Trust

mw-mallet-final-1

We spent the last year looking for ways to refine and improve the Most Wanted Mallet Test; already the largest, fully independent mallet putter test conducted on an annual basis by anyone in the golf world.

We have updated our scoring metrics to leverage Mark Broadie’s Strokes Gained Methodologies.

We opened a new test facility and doubled the number of putters testers to 20. We putt 25 mallets to the test. As was the case last year, testing took over 120 hours to complete. In total more than 9,000 putts were recorded.

All testers used Bridgestone B330-RX golf balls. The natural stroke type of each tester was identified using the iPing Putting App.

The goal, as always, remains to empower you, the consumer, with accurate and reliable data and analysis that will help you identify the best putter for your game.

If you are in the market for a new putter, this guide is for you.

How We Test


Testers are asked to play a series of holes with each putter. 18 holes total are played from three distances;  5, 10, and 20 feet (each) by each tester with each mallet in the test. The total number of putts required to finish each hole is recorded.

We’ve simplified our initial results and will now show results using our SG18 methodology. The graphics still reflect the original Strokes Gained number, however; the SG18 values can be seen in the chart below.

The SG18 value reflects the number of strokes (plus or minus) a given putter would be expected to contribute to your score over an 18 hole span, relative to the average for the field. For example, a putter with a SG value of .50 would be expected to save you half a stroke per 18 holes (or one stroke over 2 rounds) relative to the average putter in this field.

Here are the complete parameters of this year’s test:

  • Number of Testers: 20
  • Handicap Range: +3-20
  • Test Location: MyGolfSpy Testing Facility
  • Balls Used: Bridgestone B330-RX
  • Distances Assessed: Five, Ten, and Twenty Feet
  • Holes Completed at Each Distance: 6 (per tester/per putter)
  • Total Putts in Test: 9000

      Great info. It would be nice to know up front the companies who invited to participate in the test but declined. Ordered a new mallet from Odyssey last week after putting with the demo for a successful round. It finished mid pack in your test but is a nice improvement of distance control over my previous blade.

      Thank you for adding the SG18 values for better comparison with the blade putters.

      Now we can see, that in each case (blade and mallet design), 4 putters had a SG18 value above 0.5…

      …and that the mallet putter design with the lower MOI has a higher SG18 value, than it’s sibling (Ketsch mid vs. Ketsch heavy).

      According your tests, one can assume, that (a high MOI) mallet design, has no advantage over the blade design.

      This pretty much reflects my experiences, and shows, that own testing is key!

      I’m not sure we can necessarily draw that conclusion. We hit blades/Anser styles exclusively alongside other blades. We hit mallets exclusively alongside other mallets. It was a conscious decision on our part not to mix and match. As I mentioned in another comment, we made an effort to pre-sort putters by stroke type (effectively toe hang), given that most mallets are face-balanced it’s difficult to level the groups and provide the degree of randomization necessary when mixing and matching mallets and blade. Toss in the fact that mallets labeled strong arc generally aren’t nearly as strong arc’d as blades described the same way and the waters get muddy.

      I believe that if we intermingled everything, the averages would obviously move, and my guess would be that mallets would account for 3 or 4 of the top 5. Definitely a majority. That said, true strong arc golfers are likely to find more success with blades because of the broader availability within that spec. I’d also add that a well-designed blade is always going to outperform a poorly designed mallet.

      Allowing for the fact that there are no absolutes when it comes to fitting, our results over the last several years suggest that the majority of golfers will see better results with a mallet. Proof that your actual mileage may vary…I was fit by PING just over a year ago. Turns out I’m a strong arc blade guy.

      Well, maybe one should really intermingle everything, like it is within a store…

      …however, that the Ketsch mid outperforms the Ketsch heavy in your test contradicts the MOI advantage theory (mallet vs. blade).

      I could imagine, that simply the design of the alignment aid of the Ketsch, suits most golfers…
      …and that neither it’s MOI design, nor it’s face design, or it’s weight, contribute, to it’s success in your tests.

      The MLA success is hinting at the same direction…
      …it simply fits pretty good to the average perception of a golfer (whilst aiming).

      In my opinion, the grip of a putter is as important, as the rest of the design…
      …if it is not convenient and confidence inspiring, the whole putter won’t deliver good results.

      Maybe one should perform a test, where all putters are fitted with the same grip! ;-)

      I’ve never been a terrible putter but it definitely wasn’t my strong point. First 2 rounds putting a 37″ counterbalanaced ping ketsch into my bag I shot 76,79 and I’ve never broke 80 before. I will also add that I never tried a counterbalanaced model of any kind before and my previous putter was a tfi smart square, don’t knock it until you tried it. It may just help.

      Dear Tony: Do you have any thoughts regarding what appears to be a bizarre result involving performance from different length putts? Typically I notice that some putters perform better on short putts vs long putts or vice versa. Your test results appear to suggest that mid length putts are an entirely different creature. For example, the Ketsch Heavy ranked 8/1/8; the MLA Tour X dream ranked 5/11/1; the Odyssey Marksman ranked 1/17/6 and the Cleveland Smart Square proved itself as a true mid range putter ranking 18/4/18.

      Bought the 2015 Ketch mid based on your results and my own testing inside on synesthetic turf. Big mistake! Did not perform on real grass, reason was simple: No feel compared to my Scotty Newport. The putters were the same weight. length and lie. The face on Ping just feels strange. Made everything inside, took it out side and it was less than stellar. I should have known better as I never test clubs in door on simulators either. I tried to get the local fitter who has a real grass putting green to put his SAM Putt lab outside, no dice.

      So, while I applaud your efforts, for real world results you need to move from simulators and fake grass to where we play golf.

      Yes this discrepancy is pretty impressive:

      2015 SG for the heavy version: 1.8
      2015 SG for the normal version: -0,48

      That is more than a 2 stroke advantage for the heavy version in 2015!

      Now, in the 2016 test, the normal version has a SG advantage over the heavy version of 0.34…
      …this is in total a difference of 2.62 strokes advantage for the same putter…
      …just one year later…

      …pretty impressive.

      I love my Ping Anser W heavy, since I put a new (for me) better suited grip on this little gem…

      …maybe the 2016 version has just a different grip than the 2015 Ping Ketsch version?
      …or they tested a different type of arc Ketsch in 2015?

      Maybe a straight (arc) in 2015 and a slight arc version in 2016??? ;-)

      Not sure what if any factors have changed between the test years but, as might be expected, the repeatability and reproducibility of these results between test years appears low. However, the one take away here is that there is a strong signal that Ping mallets appear to produce the best results for the groups of testers in both years under the conditions of the study.

      Tony Covey

      8 years ago

      Changes this year included more testers and more putts with each model. As far as the repeatability is concerned, there are a few factors to consider:

      1. Models do change from year to year. There’s always some tweak…face technology, shaping, alignment, color scheme, etc., all of these things have the potential to influence performance. Sometimes things change for the better, sometimes for the worse. To PING’s credit, they’ve been successful in our tests largely by not screwing up a good thing.

      2. Our pool of testers does change a bit from year to year, and that has an influence. By increasing the total number of testers as we have, we’ve reduced that influence. As mentioned, we increased our sample size as well. 9,000 holes were putted out to completion during this mallet test with a total of 13,797 putts recorded.

      3. As you noted with the consistency of the Ketsch offerings, what we would generally expect – assuming reasonable consistency of design – is that the best performing models would continue to finish near the top year in and year out, the poorest performing models, without an impactful design change, will remain near the bottom, and most everything else will bounce around the statistical middle.

      Internally we look at standard deviations across several metrics. We talk in terms of equivalency within deviations – and the overwhelming majority of what we test (as you would expect based on the bell curve) fits within the average range. While our expectation is that those putters would continue to be average on a year over year basis, we also expect that the absolute ranking is subject to movement within that average range). So yeah, we see no significant statistical difference, for example, between the Odyssey White RX #7 SuperStroke (Ranked #10) and the Seemore Si5 (Ranked 19).

      Were we to repeat the test, the probabilities are that our top 3 putters would still be in the Top 3. Same for the bottom 3. The closer we get to dead center average, the more movement we would expect.

      So with that said, our goal is to identify the best putters (and we do see significant differences at the poles), not the pinpoint with any degree of certainty the most average putter(s) tested.

      No doubt, that Ping produces good putters.
      But as long as some important details remain unknown
      (the type of arc that the Ping Ketsch putters had, and whether the adjustability was used, with the putters that provide one),
      the results of the study are mushy – even if one can assume, that some putters seem to be better suited for most.

      When I tested the Ping Ketsch putter, the straight (arc) version felt strange to me, in comparison to slight arc versions from Ping.

      Thus, I’m pretty sure that it is very important to know for the public, which type of arc version they tested,
      and whether the testers could decide, which type of arc version they want to use…

      …because if they used different type of arc versions within the different type of weight versions (of the Ketsch),
      it could simply explain, why sometimes, the heavier version was preferred and vice versa…

      …maybe because of the type of arc and NOT because of the different weight!

      (or even because of a special combination of type of arc and weight)

      However, not only I posed several times the question according the type of arc version of the tested Ping Ketsch (straight, slight arc and strong arc) and received no answer yet – very strange… ;-)

      Tony Covey

      8 years ago

      Just a couple of things to keep in mind.

      1) The Ketsch design has changed on a year over year basis dating back to the original 3 years ago. Same name, slightly different design.

      2) The scoring metric has actually changed so they’re not really comparable. Last year we did a Strokes Gained 18 (SG18), which represents the average number of strokes gained over 18 holes vs. the field. This year we pulled directly from Mark Broadie’s Strokes Gained tables, which may have over-complicated the interpretive piece for the reader. I published the actual SG18 numbers for top and bottom finishers in a previous comment. I’m also looking into getting them added to table. We’ll also likely revert back to that metric for the blade test results which we anticipate publishing next week.

      Uhit

      8 years ago

      Well,

      this doesn’t explain, why in 2015 the lighter version of the Ketsch was considerably worse performing,
      than the heavier version, and in 2016 it was vice versa…

      …or do you think, that those versions not only differ in weight, during the same production year?

      I am still interested in the answer to the multiple times posed question:

      what type of arc version of the Ping Ketsch you have tested?

      (in 2015 and in 2016)

      8 years ago

      I continue to have a bit of skepticism about this type of putter testing. For a flat putt on a synthetic surface basically the only thing that needs to be achieved is getting the putter square to target at impact – ie how exactly would Brand A’s Anser blade be any better than Brand B’s. I suppose for the mallets, the alignment aid/scheme comes into play also if you look at MLA’ success here.

      For me, the undeniable takeway is the continued success of the Ketsch, and also the worst performers.

      Let’s consider this differently. What changes if the putt is downhill, on grass, with a ton of break?

      The same factors still apply:

      1) Speed must be correct (this is true on grass, turf, or even concrete)
      2) The initial line or the read must be correct (that has nothing to do with the putter – and straight eliminates the human element of trying to figure out the break. Consider that even on grass, the break is always the same, regardless of what putter you have in your hand)
      3) The putter must be delivered in such away as to generate appropriate force (speed) and to start the ball on the identified line. (again, true on any surface).

      To answer your Anser question. Within the Anser space there is a ton of variation. Weight, shaping (think about topline thickness, bumper shape (soft vs. strong lines) width, height, blade length, etc.), alignment aid/visuals, color, loft, lie angle, hosel design (toe hang), sole radius, face insert/milling…it’s a long list and everything on it ultimately influences performance.

      I bought the now recalled Ping Ketsch on Golf Spy’s initial analyis. First however I downloaded the Ping App and bought the cradle. It confirmed my stroke path. I then spent quite some time on my lie angle. Purchased the Ketsch. All en all I went from a crap putter to average. I persevered and developed distance control. I went from average to a good putter. I then put on an oversize grip and am now a very good putter. Get fit. The Ping App is excellent. Find your stroke. I did it works.

Combined with better info about reading greens and distance, my putting is now in the putt for dough range.Such a nice putter. One note I live in a part of the country where custom fitting is 3 hours away and had to guesstimate my putter needs. The Ping made the process easy due to the club itself

      Would like more info. I have been testing 8 different putters on 4 different courses for more than 12 months.
      Data collected was against the following, Swingweight,Deadweight,lie angle,loft, putter length and stimp readings on the greens.
      speed is the most important factor so a putt 18 inches past the hole is a good leave. A putt that gets up out of the nap of the green and rolls out another 6 ft is a disaster or a putt that is 3 foot short is equally as bad.other factors considered was slope of greens uphill downhill and side hill lies.
      Slopes varied 1deg 2 deg and 3 degrees. So strokes gained from all of these elements is what I would like to see.
      Good news I now have a putter that works on nearly all of these elements.

      Why not more PING putters on tour? Its simple! 50% of national TV exposure is dedicated to green play ie putting. You see more close ups of the putter than any other club in the bag. The reason there are fewer Ping putters in the bag is “RESTRICTED SPONSORSHIP” by the manufactures. When many of the current tour players make more $ on manufacturers sponsorship than in actual tour winnings the answer is clear or should I say the PING ANSER is clear. It has to do with MONEY.

      That’s amazing, 3 companies had the top 12 putters in this test.

      A few questions to the test:

      1. which type of arc Ketsch putter was used (Ping offers: straight, slight arc, strong arc, for the Ketsch)

      2. were there weight adjustments made, for the putters that support it?

      3. could you please also publish the numbers of putts (for each of the three distances), like in your previous tests?

      Thank you!

      I really need to look into that Ketsch Mid. Seems like it could be a good transition from the blade putter I use now.

      Shows though how you need to demo for yourself in real life. I tried the ketsch version you rated well a couple years ago & couldn’t line it up for the life of me yet I went with a odyssey works 2-ball fang that you only rank as decent & I started dropping them.

      Interesting that the Ketsch in all its forms is so dominant yet again but really doesn’t have much tour juice. Does that mean the tour pros are so good that it doesn’t really matter beyond personal preference what they putt with or is there another conclusion to draw? If the former, then we are all hurting ourselves by buying as seen on TV equipment all the way through the bag, and yet that is the industry’s primary advertising method

      Most tour pros have a good stroke already and don’t need the help that the Ketsch would offer. Also, most of the Ping pros that play mallets play the vault series Oslo, which is not yet available to the public. Would be interesting to see where that putter fits in had it been available for testing

      First you have to remember that testing like this really is being done for the first time in the indsutry. So, data like this was not available to the masses. And you might be shocked to hear this but most guys on tour still put with what “feels” good for them at the time. Or they are playing a putter based on a contract. Or what they played back in college, etc. etc.

      What I am trying to say is that putters and most other clubs in the bag still are not put in play because they are the most efficient performers.

      This is the purpose of MyGolfSpy…to put performance over marketing.

      Performance is not hype.

      We believe we are getting very close to a system that will eliminate this entirely and make the industry switch from a message based on words like “Ridonkulong” to phrases like “Proven to lower handicap by 1.67 strokes”.

      Fantastic. You know, you guys have been doing this for a few years now and even when you find faults in your own tests you keep trying to get the best numbers to your readers. I just love this site.

      One other thing, if we go through previous years testing, it looks as though Taylormade is a can’t miss for drivers, callaway for fairway woods and ping for putters.

      Please, PLEASE do an iron, wedge and hybrid test soon.

      Keep up the great work too?

      Which strokes gained value is correct? The graphics say +1.62, the chart says +0.162. Very large potential difference in how much importance having the right putter means here.

      Also, I assume that the strokes gained should be interpreted at per 18 holes, sine you simulated 6 holes of each 5 feet, 10 feet, 20 feet, right? If this is mistaken, I would appreciate clarifying in the article how best to interpret the strokes gained metric here.

      Thanks

      The SG value is effectively relative, so functionally it doesn’t matter where the decimal is. We want to use a consistent and accepted measurement (in this case Strokes Gained), but sometimes that doesn’t translate to something that’s easily understood. There might be something to be said for using a SG-based metric like the SG 18 we used last year. This time around we used the actual tables used on the PGA Tour. In hindsight, our zeal for showing that we are using an established and accepted metric on which to base our scoring, we may have complicated things a bit more than necessary.

      Simplification was part of the reason why we moved to 6 putts per distance. That gives each putter 18 holes to complete with each putter, which obviously works a bit better when trying to relate it to an actual round of golf. So it’s easy enough to add some additional clarity.

      To reconcile the SG value with something akin to an 18 hole average of sorts I did some quick math, which will hopefully put this into a more easily understandable framework.

      Across the entire test, the putter field averaged 27.57 putts per scenario…or 27.57 putts per 18 holes played.

      Within that context, the first place putter averaged .97 fewer strokes than the field. One possible interpretation would be that our first place putter can be expected to reduce your score by 1 stroke compared to the average putter in this test.

      Conversely, our last place putter was 1.48 strokes worse than the average, which – along similar interpretive lines – can be expected to increase your score by 3 strokes over the course of 2 rounds (1.5 strokes per round).

      Based on 18 holes averages the Top 5 breakout (vs. field average) like this:

      #1 – +.97 (strokes per 18 holes putted)
      #2 – +.87
      #3 – +.82
      #4 – +.67
      #5 – +.47

      For further comparative purposes, the bottom 5 shake out like this:
      #25 – -1.48
      #24 – -1.13
      #23 – -.73
      #22 – -.58
      #21 – -.48

      Hope that helps.

      Thank you Tony. This is the type of real data that would have significantly improved your reporting of the test results. There is nothing wrong with trying to provide a simplified way of seeing the results, but ALSO, include the real data….perhaps in a “Data Addendum”

      Brad – Looking into adding SG18 to the table, and using it exclusively for our blade results.

      Sad Cure putters weren’t in the mix for testing.

      You should give your own testing results. I think you meet the prerequisite of “120 hours of testing and 9000 putts recorded.”
