Piretti

Why we like it

Sometimes sexy is smart, like, say, George Clooney. Sometimes smart is sexy, like, say, Amal Clooney. In putters, Piretti designs might be smart and sexy. Milled from 303 stainless steel and thankfully unbedazzled, every curve, angle and mill mark seems considered. The heavier head weight smooths out the stroke, and the slightly lower lofts work well on today’s faster greens. That’s smart, but none of that gets in the way of how these heads look, like when Amal and George address the United Nations.

• A heavier standard grip helps with consistency and stability.
• Six models (Cortino 2, Cottonwood 2, Matera DB, Potenza 1.5, Potenza 2 WB, Rimini); head weight: 365-375 grams; length: 32-38 inches; loft: 2.5 degrees
