What it does: The clean aesthetic is the result of a high-pressure application of water to the surface-milled 303 stainless-steel body. This gives these blades a similar look, but they are very different putters for different strokes. The longer, narrower Soto is designed for strokes with the most natural rotation. There are two versions of the squatty Del Monte: the plumber’s neck version works for slightly arcing strokes, and the other is face-balanced, which is best for strokes that move straight back and through.

Why we like it: Whatever your style of stroke, it’s the face that makes it all come together. Specifically, the soft, resilient polymer blend’s 12 urethane-filled grooves give at impact, adding forward spin to help get the ball rolling end over end more quickly.
