sumadoggie 17 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I've found myself in love with a putter with a really compact toe-heel length - 3.5". Not so small that I'm worried about toe/heel strikes, but I feel like I lose a sense of the ball on the putter face with longer blades. I have a couple other blades with 4.25" and 4.5" lengths and a heel shafted mid-mallet that's 3.75". Anyone out there know of other modern putters with a particularly short blade length?

cnosil 14,619 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Not sure there are many (if any) OEM putters that are really short from heel to toe unless you go with the mid mallets. Some of the boutique makers make the compact blades that you are describing.

DPattGolf 1,554 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Evnroll ER2 has a shorter heel to toe length than most blades out there. Its noticeably shorter than most similar shapes on the market like the Scotty Cameron Squareback 2 Quote Driver: TSi3 (7.25*) - Tensei AV Raw White 65 X Tipped 1.5" & 0.5" Short, 2 extra grams in T1 Position 3 Wood: TSi3 (13.5) - Tensei AV Raw White 70 X Tipped 1" & 0.5" Short, 2 extra grams in T Position Driving Iron: U500 2 iron - HZRDUS Smoke (X) Irons (4-6) T100S - KBS C-Taper X-Stiff Irons (7-P) 620 MB - KBS C-Taper X Stiff Wedges: SM7 Jet Black 50.F.12 / 55.S.11 / 60.M.08 - X100 Putter: Black ER2 (Finish Courtesy of NorCal Putters) - Aware Tour Bag: Hybrid 14 Glove: Under Armour Strikeskin Tour Ball: ProV1 Yellow #3 RangeFinder: NX7 Pro Instagram: @dpattgolf Link to post Share on other sites

B.Boston 8,484 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 My Newport Select (not the Newport 2 which I think is longer) is not much longer than the ER2B. Both of those feel pretty compact to me.

sumadoggie 17 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yah, I tested an ER2 and ER3 a couple years ago. They were basically the same size and ultimately I went with the ER3 at the time. Forgot about the smaller size of that blade.

dlow206 5,118 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 My gamer is the OG Scotty Squareback from 2008. That thing is super compact. Just measured the blade length right now, smidge over 3.5". I guess it depends on whether you consider this to be a "modern" putter.
