Price Point Threshold?

[JB]

For THPers when it comes to this segment of the bag, do you have a ceiling point on what you would spend on a putter? Does it stretch for custom? Does it stretch for limited editons? What is that final ceiling point in your current life?

 

[Jman]

More than makes me comfortable typing because I might get murdered in my sleep. I’ve spent 4 figures before, and would again in the right situation.

 

[Nerdy]

I have failed the internet and have never bought a putter over about $200

 

[USAF Retired]

Paid $400 for the Tri-Hot 7 CH this year and that’s about all I’m willing to go

Much prefer the $125 i paid for the Nova 40 on sale with the military discount

 

[ryang13]

The LAB was a couple dollars.

 

[Bernoulli]

Limit would be under $500. I probably would not consider a custom. I’m also unlikely to consider limited editions. However, all could change if the right circumstances presented themselves to me.

 

[jdtox]

It would have to be really really special for me to spend more than say $600 on a putter. Comfort zone is probably under $400 though

 

[Junkyard]

400 is my limit. Even if you guaranteed me it would make everything I looked at

 

[TWright971]

I'd say $500 not including any fitting costs. But lets be honest, that could totally move higher for custom if I thought it was worth it.

 

[BuffaloPlunger]

$400 is the threshold for me but there are exceptions. Depending on the putter I would consider $750 as a one time purchase. Similarly, I have been tossing around the idea of saving for a Circle T

 

[mav52]

Last putter I bought new was in Jan 2002, A scotty Pro Platinum Newport 2 mid-slant which I still use today. Haven't been needing a new putter since. so dollars saved, but if I was looking, anything over $250, nope. I wouldn't even look at it today.

 

[TJRyska]

As of today’s date, I wouldn’t pay over $750 for a putter. It’s the most used club in my bag during a round, so I’d be willing to go that high.

 

[jlew]

I can’t say that I really have a limit so to speak. I’ve contemplated going the circle T route straight from SC. I’ve tried to get my hands on a few boutique putters because I liked the looks of them. So can’t really say that I have a ceiling.

 

[blugold]

Anything over $350 is a Kenny Loggins.

I have zero desire to buy any special edition or limited offering putter. Those putters fail the cost:value ratio for me.

 

[Thrillbilly Jim]

A Sacks Parente and Rossie Tri-Hot are both $399.99. A custom LAB DF2.1 is north of $500. So, my max range would be somewhere in there. I would feel more comfortable pulling the trigger below $300.

 

[Just_Brad]

I think around $400.

Preference though? I would love to be sub $200 for some reason. Under that and I think it is reasonably priced, and I don't feel terrible if it doesn't work out.

 

[tahoebum]

The most I’ve paid is $600 and it was for a used putter with a $350 shaft in it. I could go more than that but still love getting a deal and buying more putters instead. I have 3 Toulon putters that were like new from CPO or eBay and the average price paid for them was $240. When you buy 4 or 5 each season it makes sense to a get a deal on some of them. They are still a lot cheaper than my wife’s shoes or purses, lol.

 

[BlueHen2006]

$200 is my max for now, which probably prices me out of most putters nowadays, unless I had a trade-in club to help lower the cost. Might stretch a little for custom, but only if it’s to marginally lengthen or adjust the loft/lie.

Putting has always been the strongest part of my game and the extra $ for “maybe” a small extra benefit doesn’t justify the cost to me.

I stay away from “limited editions” or “boutique” putters. Just not my thing. Plus me out of the running gives those who want them a much better chance to get ‘em …. , so you’re welcome!

 

[baylrballa]

600 for unique

300ish for gamer.

 

[Lou W]

I’m not worthy! In the 80’s I thought I dropped some serious coin on a ping anser 2, 60 bucks. Lately I’ve been putting great with a five dollar carbite mallet I found at a church rummage sale. Go figure

 

[PowerThrust]

I know, I know. The putter is the most used club in the bag, but the most I've spent is just under $300 and my gamer for the last 3 years cost me a bill and it serves me well. That said, it would have to come with a fitting for me to approach $500 and that would most likely be my limit.

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

I have no interest in paying a premium for limited runs, but custom options are another story. I’m a mallet guy, so that limits a lot of both those options. Toulon garage at $600 is probably roughly my ceiling.

 

[DataDude]

My limit is $300, if it’s more than that I’ll just buy it used. I don’t really care what they look like as it’s just a tool to me not a work of art or anything. I don’t even put them in a head over so they’re going to get beat up in my bag anyway.

As the great Ariana Grande says---My receipts be looking like phone numbers

 

[brians]

I have failed the internet and have never bought a putter over about $200

This is both a failure and success…
I like being married. So same.
