How much does a putter clip cost? Price guide and what to expect.

Okay, so, I was browsing around the other day, trying to find a decent putter clip. You know, one of those things that hold your putter to your golf bag? I’ve been using an old, beat-up one for ages, and it finally gave up the ghost. Time for an upgrade, I figured.

First, I started looking at the prices. Let me tell you, these things can range quite a bit. I saw some fancy ones going for like $300 or even $400! Like, seriously? For a putter? I mean, sure, the Scotty Cameron or Odyssey ones are nice and all, but that’s a bit rich for my blood. I’m not exactly a pro golfer over here. Then again, I found some cheaper options from brands like Wilson that were more in the $100 to $150 range. That’s more like it.

Then I started thinking about the size. Apparently, standard putters are around 33, 34, or 35 inches long. I’m about 5’7″, so I figured a 34-inch putter would probably be the best fit. I remembered reading somewhere that 33-inch ones are good for people between 5’2″ and 5’4″, and 35-inch ones are for the tall folks, like 6’0″ and up.

After that, I dove into some reviews. I read about this TaylorMade Spider EX Platinum #3 Putter that sounded pretty good. People were saying it’s good for stability and alignment, and it’s forgiving if you don’t hit the ball perfectly. Those are definitely things I could use help with. My putting game is, shall we say, a work in progress.

While researching all of this, I also learned about putter fittings. I didn’t even know those were a thing! Apparently, they’re pretty helpful if you’re trying to improve your putting. The price for one of those seems to be around $50 to $150. Not too bad, I guess, especially considering how much some of these putters cost.

I thought about getting a fitting, but then I remembered I just needed a clip, not a whole new putter. It seems like the price has been going up lately. Maybe a few years ago, it would be cheaper. So, I just grabbed a simple, no-frills clip online. It wasn’t expensive, and it does the job. I clipped it onto my bag, and it holds my putter nice and secure. No more worrying about it falling out and getting lost. Problem solved!
