Meridian

Why we like it

Golf seems smitten with milled putters as if they are some kind of farm-to-table quiche pan. Meridian takes your artisan-cheese swooning and makes its finished tool more practical and technologically efficient. Instead of milling putters one at a time, a process cuts a dozen or more blades out of that single block at once. Those blanks are finished with another milling process that features three face patterns for three feels, taking these delightfully authentic blades to a place rarely seen in golf today: affordability.

• Three face textures available for different feel preferences.

• Two models (Okatie, Charleston); three face mills (soft, medium, firm); head weights: 330, 370; lengths: 33, 34, 35 inches; loft: 3 degrees
