Best center shafted putters
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 1, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: TaylorMade Spider ZT Center Shaft — a zero-torque mallet that resists twisting on off-center hits, with heavy head weights and a stable, straight-back stroke. The easiest center-shaft to trust on long putts.
Who the others suit:
- LAB Golf DF3 — the cult favorite for a hands-off, lie-angle-balanced stroke; best if you want the head to stay square by itself.
- PING PLD Milled Oslo C — milled feel and clean looks for players who prefer a classic, no-offset mallet.
- Scotty Cameron Fastback Onset — premium craftsmanship and soft feel if you want a tour-style center shaft.
- Bell III 365 half-mallet — a mid-weight, no-offset option with length choices from 32" to 40".
- Tour Edge Template Narrows — a budget-friendly stainless center shaft with a strong alignment aid.
- PING Scottsdale Prime Tyne C — a soft-insert face for players who like a muted, forgiving roll.
Center shafts suit a straight-back, straight-through stroke and help keep your eyes over the ball.
