Are Edel putters for new Golfers?

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I'm really interested in Edel putters and the science behind them looks amazing. However, I've only been playing since just before COVID. So I am worried that I'm probably going to develop my putting and therefore, the putter will become useless. Can anyone shed some light on this and tell me if it is worth it? I expect this to last me 5+ years, some people quoted as 10 plus. I really don't want to spend the money and it be useless in a year.

Anyway, enough of my ramble and I look forward to seeing your replies. 🙂

How long you choose to play a club is up to you.  Some people change putters weekly and others play the same putter for 30+ years.   As with any golf club,  you can build your swing or in this case your putting around a single club.

Put your money on a good putter.  You'll hit it more than any other club in your bag.  A good putter isn't going to become obsolete.

I just went thru a putter fitting, the best money I've spent  on golf in a long time! Thought I was a complete face balanced putter, but found slight toe hang is perfect for my path.  All green when leaving the fitting.. Spend the money on a good putter and fitting, it's worth it.  Evnroll ER5

Since you are new:  Before you buy or even get fitted, try putting cross handed.  It takes a while to get used to it.  I wrap my left hand loosely around the shaft below the right hand, with the index finger placed on the shaft pointing to the ground.  Practice with several different types of putters, my advice is a face balanced mallet type.  And here is a real kicker:  on long putts, look at the hole or your path, don't look at the ball.  Learn to stroke the ball cleanly without having to see it.  After you try this for a while, then you can decide to go for a fitting.  But a fitting is to find a tool, not your technique.  Find your technique first.  I adopted this in 2015 when Jordan Spieth first made a big splash.  I am very accurate on long putts.  After a lot of time on practice green, I am now ready for a fitting but I know pretty closely what change to my current putter I want, 2 small changes.  For what it is worth . . . .

First, get fit for a putter. No big box store, go to a pro shop or professional fitter (Club Champion). Have them check your loft, lie, toe hang, length, grip size. And insert! Do you like the feel with or without an insert. Then, before spending $400+ on a putter, have your current putter adjusted to your fit. Easy to do, except changing the hang, if any. Even buy a used putter. I recently found a perfect White Hot Rossie for $25! Do some research and fitting before you spend the money.

I would get a putting lesson first to learn proper set-up, ball position, swing path. Then practice what you learned & once you have a semi-repeatable stroke then go get fitted for a putter. Or just buy what's on sale now. I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I see this all the time on golf forums. Some guy who is a staunch advocate of being fitted for every club then pre-orders the next gen PXG he's never seen or tested because they were a "great deal!"

You pose a very good question, yet difficult question to answer without knowing your putting tendencies; stance, grip, arc or no arc, position of eyes, shoulder turn, no shoulder turn and distance from the ball.

If your new and high handicapper.....my recommendation would be take lessons from a reputable instructor (full swing and putting lesson). Because.......if your putting sucks now due to one or many of the things listed above and you get fitted for "that" putting style.....you will quickly regret it and have the wrong putter as you progress and begin making a better putting stroke. Example - it's a known fact in the putting instruction world that the line share of golfers are using putters too short for them.

However, to answer your question.....Edel makes great putters and many people I know have gone through their fitting program and are enjoying their putters.

Hi dalejbrass,

And that is pretty much what I did, I has a lesson with my pro and asked him to focus on my putting, been working with him for the best part of a year now. He madesure I had a good foundation (actually said I looked pretty natural at putting 🤣) and then got fitted for the Edel which has been shipped today.

The only thing I've seen since is the L.A.B putter... but I guess that is the golfer bug kicking in!!

I'm getting fitted for an Edel tomorrow afternoon and kind of excited to see what the outcome will be.

Do it!!!! Get fit. If theres any club in the bag to spend $ on, its the putter. You use it more than anything else. You may move on from it in a year or 5, keep it. Cause you may go back to it. Or sell it. Dont over think it.

Here is my $.02

Do the Edel fitting. The first place you’re starting is the LAST place folks go, and I think it’s something like 80% of golfers haven’t been fitted for their putter (maybe more), which is the most common club used in the bag. Right off the bat you’re getting strokes on the majority of the golfing world.

To the ideas of “take a lesson first”, well, if you do that, you’ll be taking a putter to a lesson that isn’t even right for you. No one would suggest going to take full swing lessons with a club that isn’t right for you, so why now? Take a lesson AFTER you get a putter fit to you, otherwise you’ll be getting a lesson for something that may not truly be an issue with your stroke. 

To the ideas of “try this, try that, try this style of gripping a club,” nope. Putt your stroke, swing your swing. GO. GET. FITTED. I guarantee that once you do an Edel fitting you’ll have the ultimate confidence in your putting stroke, which is more than half the battle, because you’ll KNOW the putter you’re holding gives YOU the best chance to succeed on greens.

Edel sells OTR putters as well and their resale value is typically low.     The bigger question would be finding the right configuration for you if you go the fitting route.

@Mark D the above comment brings up a good point. I went to get fit for a Evnroll, ended up with a Seemore. I putt much better with it. If you go get fit somewhere GOOD, keep an open mind.

The whole point behind an Edel is to do the fitting so that the putter is fitted to you. Going “blind” buying one is no different than grabbing an Odyssey or Scotty off-the-rack. Everything about an Edel fitting is specific to you, and not just height and how you grip the putter, but how your eyes perceive your line to the cup. Grip size, length of shaft, type of head, down to the lines (or no lines) on the putter head, shaft bend, weights in the shaft under the grip, etc, etc, etc are what the fitting determines.

Buy whatever you’d like, but just know that if you buy a random Edel, and it doesn’t work for you, you’ll have a bad taste in your mouth for the brand without going through their whole purpose: fitting.

Perfectly makes sense to me. Which could be why you are seeing them in them pop up for those prices in secondary. No fitting and they didn’t work for the seller is an assumption.

Got fitted for a Edel Putter today and it went very well. I went to the GolfTec in Clearwater, Florida and was fitted by Nick Ramsey.

The fitting took about one hour and thirty minutes and it really rips your putter to pieces if you're gaming the wrong stick... The fitting starts off with an interview of your putter tendencies. How do you miss? Are you long or short, pushing right or pulling left. (Me: I was long and to the left) Then you're thrown onto an aim board which will show you how you are aiming at address for about a 1 foot putt. (Me: I had my face open to the right). After the aim board they take a laser and lay it down directly at a ball and then place a mirror on your putter and have you come to address for a 5 foot putt and they remove the ball so you can see where you are actually aiming at address. (Me: I was aiming about 6" right with the face open and about 8" up increasing the lie angle). This was eye opening because at address I thought my putter looked perfect and obviously the further out you go the worse it gets... 

After that, the fun part begins... Building the correct putter. The fitter walked me through a bunch of options including the head styles, alignment plates, grips, different lie angles, and counter weights in both the head and the shaft of the club. Once the club is built they run you through the aim board and laser test again and again until you feel like you have the perfect club in your hand... 

For Me the perfect club was Edel EAS 4.0 at 33" with the standard round grip, 68* lie angle, and a 25 gram counter weight in the head. The alignment plate was One on top and two on the bottom...

Then it's off to the putting green to put it to work and imo it did. It took me a little bit to get used to but, I definitely saw the improvement almost immediately. Solid strikes rolling end over end with livable misses. At 5 feet and in the putter was deadly and sank almost every putt I hit. At 10 feet the putter felt great and the ones that didn't go in, were tap in's.

So even if you don't want to go with an Edel Putter, getting fit definitely shows you what you "need" before you actually buy a putter. For me it was a no brainer and the Edel EAS 4.0 will be going in my bag as soon as it arrives.

Interesting question… the chicken or the egg? I think Mookie has a good thought train about it. I would suggest reading the Edel EAS testing thread to get a good grasp on the fitting process, which is described well by mdrnsamurai, one post up.

there is no doubt that the Edel putter is solid, and the fitting makes it really good. I don’t know that I would jump into the goofy handed putter grip pool right away, buuutttt, it definitely works for some, as does the claw grip. But you probably have played putt-putt as a youngster and already have an idea about how to putt, so it might be wise to stay “conventional “ as you begin this journey, and having a perfect putter right away will remove one item from the bucket of things to learn for a beginner.

another concept is to just go to a Roger  Dunn store and putt with a bunch of different putters to see what suits your eye, and feels good. This would help you get ready for the Edel fitting as you would know what head shape you like.

putters are a seriously slippery slope my friend, and what one person swears by, is another man’s bane…

good luck!

After getting fitted last summer for an Edel, I've become a bit of a fanboy. So keep that in mind.

What I would say is this: if you don't know much about how you use your putter or what kind of putter likely works best for you, and you're interested in playing your best golf, absolutely go get fitted.

My fitting was, in many ways, a confirmation of things I already suspected. I aim right. I cut across the ball. The putter I brought with me to my fitting (a 34" torque-balanced Odyssey Big Seven Toe Up) was in many ways very similar to the putter I current have in my bag (a 34" torque-balanced Edel EAS 4.0).

I got to the Odyssey through about 8 years of trial and error self-fitting.

Should a new golfer get fitted for an Edel? My take would be this: if you have a reasonable putting stroke at all, yes. You will end up with a putter that will work well with your body. And it will allow you to go from there and work on getting better at putting, rather than tinkering.

Edel are for anyone. I've found that big box stores who sell Edel, which should be fitted, have no idea what their doing. Go to a PGA Professional whose course sells and fits Edel. Do it right.

Talking from experience, and having been a part of the MGS Edel EAS test group with @GolfSpy MPR and @Sluggo42, even a beginner can really benefit from the fitting process that an Edel trained fitter will take you through. I'll admit that while I've been playing for nearly 30 years, my putting skills were at a beginner level when I went in. I just didn't realize how much I didn't know about the craft of putting.

Now what I can't speak for is the individual experience that every person will encounter. When I had my fitting, I not only was fit down to the minutiae of my own biomechanics and putting tendencies, but I also received a master lesson in putting to better understand why my club was being set up the way it was and how to effectively maximize it's use. To this day I still use every queue from my putting instruction and have become a completely different player on the green from what I was before the process. Am I a putting master? Probably not.. but I'm pretty damn confident on the green. 

Look at it this way, as a new golfer, you probably understand the importance of reducing overall strokes on the course in as many ways possible. 50% or more of the strokes come from that small patch of grass we know as "the green". That stat remains the same from beginner to professional. The sooner you learn  to conquer the green, your game immediately improves by 50%.

He’s got a point. I have gotten to the point now where I feel like I’m an auto-2 putt. I get so many putts to tap in distance now it’s silly. A 3 putt is as rare as a 2 dollar bill. Love the Edel…

I have had my Edel E-3 for over 5 years now and I love it.  Being fit for a club you’ll hit over 35%+ of the time per round is never a bad thing. To me, their fitting process is second to none.

I strongly recommend the Edel putter fitting as it is something I have never been through with other fittings.  I have had my Edel putter for 5 weeks now and it is absolutely amazing the improvement I have experienced in my putting.  You can't go wrong getting the putter that sets up to your line of site, proper length, and weighted to your stroke.  I know you will see an improvement.

Hi dalejbrass,

And that is pretty much what I did, I has a lesson with my pro and asked him to focus on my putting, been working with him for the best part of a year now. He madesure I had a good foundation (actually said I looked pretty natural at putting 🤣) and then got fitted for the Edel which has been shipped today.

The only thing I've seen since is the L.A.B putter... but I guess that is the golfer bug kicking in!!

Mark D,

It looks like you've already been fit for the Edel putter and I'm about a year too late to advise you. 

I have to say after reading this thread I'm surprise that more people aren't familiar with the Edel process. It breaks down like this: For irons, I've always told people who are starting out in golf to learn to play with second hand or inexpensive clubs, your swing and preferences will change as you get better. When you develop some minimum baseline of skill then seek to get fitted for irons. 

This is also true of the putter.... UNLESS, you are talking about an Edel putter. What Edel does that's different than what others do is pay attention to YOUR optics. Edel builds you a putter that's best designed to help you aim it at the hole. So, as your putting stroke changes, or doesn't change either way, YOU will still be able to aim it at the hole. The entire point of getting an Edel putter is that is built to your eye, not your hands. 

When going through an Edel fitting usually the most enlightening part of the fitting is when the fitter shows you where you are aiming your current putter. When I got fit for mine 6 years ago I found out I was aiming my old putter 18 inches right of the hole on a 20 foot putt. So, my stroke had all kinds of built in compensation to make up for the fact that I "thought" I was pointing the face at the hole, but I wasn't. 

So, what Edel does that's right and different than everyone else is they make sure you can actually aim your clubface at the hole. They also spend time making sure you get the putter built to help you roll as consistent of distances as possible. (This is done by balancing the head weight and the handle weight etc... but everyone does this.) So, a non-fitted Edel putter will be about as useful to you as any other putter on the market. That's why their resale value is crap. Because who wants a putter built for somebody else's eyes? It would be like buying used contact lenses.... who would do that? 

So, remember, an Edel fitting is different than everyone else's putter fitting. It includes all the stuff the other guys do, but it adds the concept of building the putter to your eye. (Having a perfectly fit putter won't do boo for you if you are aiming it 18 inches right of the hole on a 20 foot putt.) That's why you can get an Edel fitting at any time during your golfing journey. Unless of course you plan to get your eyes replaced, the Edel putter will continue to work for you even as your stroke evolves. 

I got a bag full of Cobras.... Well, not the putter... yet.
