## Introducing Best in Class: Putters
Choosing a putter has always been part science, part gut feel, and part guesswork.
## Data-led testing process
We tested 35 putters across nine categories: looks, adjustability, feel, technology, stability, sound, value, forgiveness, and consistency.
## Structured testing method
Each putter faced 15 putts per tester across short, mid, and long range for over 2,500 putts total.
## Consistent testing conditions
All putts were struck on the same practice green at Alwoodley Golf Club using a TaylorMade TP5 ball.
## Top 15 putters ranked
