GolfRoots Putters Review

Can $50 Putters Work As Well As $500 Putters?

Golf is expensive. The #1 complaint is that golfer can’t afford greens fees and clubs.

It is one of the reasons that golfers quit or don’t start. New drivers run $650, new irons are up over $1200 and the newest putter tech is $500+.

If you want to get shiny new clubs, that is a fair amount of money, just to try or to get started.

GolfRoots is all about making golf affordable.

Their mission is to offer starter sets, used clubs, balls and brand new putters at more affordable prices. You can get a used started set build with 4 used clubs for under $100.

If you want to get other used clubs they have a huge selection of pre-hit clubs.

They decided to make their own putters with that same affordable model. They have 3 models ranging from $50-90.

But can these 3 putters compete with the $500 putters of the golfing world?

I put these to the test to see if you can get a new putter that works on the green for a fraction of the price.

This is my official GolfRoots Putters Review.

3 Models

The GolfRoots Putters come in 3 models: No.1, No.2, an No.3. The No.1 is a traditional anser putter made of zinc alloy with a silver finish. It has notched grooves on the face. The top tri-line has an alignment lines painted black.

The No.2 is a “fanged” mid-mallet CNC milled 304 stainless steel putter at 365 grams and finished in a midnight matte.

The mill marks on the face are nice and the white paintfill looks classy.

The No.3 is a double wide blade CNC milled 304 stainless at 375gram and also finished in midnight matte with white paintfill.

It also uses a tri-line alignment on the flange.

If you put any other name brand on these, these would fetch a much higher price.

They aren’t designed to compete on tour with Odyseey or Scotty; they are made for golfer who want a new putter but not the new putter price.

They have a quality build and can be bought stock at 34″ or 35″.

They come nice pistol grips on them and steel shafts.

Build Quality

The GolfRoots Putters come sealed in plastic wrap and have the same quality of build as any other new putter.

The grips are straight, the lofts are normal, the shafts are install properly, everything is like new when you take them out of the box.

The milling is high quality on the No.2 and No.3.

The paintfill is clean and doesn’t bleed onto the other parts of the club.

They even did a nice job of keeping the logoing to a minimum avoiding a cheap look.

They also kept the headweights up which is not only helpful for putting, but gives these a quality feel too.

There is nothing from a quality standpoint that says “cheap”.

Performance

Can the GolfRoots Putters perform as well as a $500 putter? I did my best to compare apples to apples with these putters.

I didn’t have them roll against zero-torque putters because those are a totally different design and wouldn’t be a fair fight.

But I used similar style putters from a number of brands that would be comparable to each model.

I did a 5 putt competition from each distance rotating between putters.

What’s Missing?

GolfRoots Putters are not going to show up on tour any time soon, nor do they claim to have the newest technology in putting.

What they offer is low price with solid performance.

They don’t come with custom fitting for loft or lie nor can you get paint fill in your favorite color.

They do offer some custom grip options if you want a larger grip and different lengths. They come stock with headcovers to keep them looking new.

Essentially you’re getting a base model putter with no name recognition at a bargain price.

Maybe instead of bragging how much you paid for the putter, you can rub it into your buddies how little you paid compared to their putters when you roll in that birdie putt.

Summary

The GolfRoots Putters are for the golfer wanting a brand new putter, a nice looking, feeling and performing putter but at an absolute bargain price.

I’m impressed by the quality of the build, the thoughtfulness of the designs and the performance on the greens.

While the No.3 isn’t replacing my gamer, it certainly rolls the ball best for me of their 3 putters, even beating some $500 putters.

Golf doesn’t have to be expensive.

You can still get high quality, brand new putters from GolfRoots.
