Best Putters for Women 2026
TaylorMade Kalea Gold Spider STop Pick · £249 →
All five are designed specifically for women, with lighter-feeling builds, women’s grips and shorter standard lengths than men’s models. Tip: scroll the table sideways on mobile to see all columns.
Why dedicated putters for women make a difference
Putters for women are not just men’s putters with a shorter shaft. The best examples are designed around a shorter standard length, a slimmer grip for smaller hands and head weights that balance properly at that length. Cutting down a men’s putter changes its swing weight, which can make the head feel light and harder to control on longer putts.
Putting also accounts for a large share of every score. If you three-putt four times a round, a putter that helps you aim and control pace can save more shots than any new driver. That is why we think the putter is one of the most rewarding clubs a lady golfer can have properly fitted.
We have picked five women’s putters from our own range, from TaylorMade and PING, covering mallets, a mid-mallet and a classic blade. If you are building a full women’s set, our ladies golf irons guide and ladies package set guide are good next reads.
What to look for in putters for women
Length
Most ladies putters come in around 32 to 33 inches as standard. With your eyes over the ball and arms hanging naturally, the grip should sit comfortably in your hands without you crouching or standing tall.
Head shape
Mallets are more stable on off-centre strikes and usually easier to aim. Blades offer a cleaner look and more feedback. Neither is better; pick the one that makes you feel confident at address.
Stroke type
A straight-back, straight-through stroke suits a face-balanced mallet. If your putter swings on an arc, some toe hang helps the face rotate naturally. Matching the two is the single biggest fitting win.
Grip size and shape
Women’s grips are slimmer, which suits smaller hands. A pistol grip gives a natural place for the thumbs, while a slightly thicker grip can quieten overactive hands.
Alignment aids
Lines, dots and contrasting colours help you square the face to your target. Test a few; the right one looks obvious to your eye, while the wrong one feels confusing.
Face insert
Inserts change the sound and feel at impact. A softer insert helps on quick greens, while a firmer face can help golfers who leave putts short on slow winter greens.

Best overall: TaylorMade Kalea Gold Spider S
TaylorMade’s Kalea Gold line is built for women from the ground up. The Spider S pairs a milled aluminium body with a tungsten weight bar for serious stability, plus a Pure Roll insert to get the ball rolling quickly.
Tungsten weighting
Graphite shaft
Headcover included
This is the most complete package among the putters for women on our shelves. The Spider shape is one of the most recognisable in golf because the high MOI keeps the face square even when you catch the ball out towards the toe. For golfers whose strike wanders, that means putts finish much closer to the hole.
The Pure Roll insert uses grooves set at 45 degrees to add topspin, so the ball skids less and holds its line. The L-neck gives around 21 degrees of toe hang, which suits a slight arc stroke, the most common pattern among club golfers. Contrasting colours on the head make aiming simple.
The finishing touches set it apart. A graphite putter shaft and a Super Stroke Pistol GT 1.0 grip come standard, and a headcover is included. At £249 it undercuts the latest PING models while offering the same level of stability.
- Very stable on off-centre strikes
- Pure Roll insert gets the ball rolling early
- Pistol grip suits smaller hands
- Headcover included
- Large head will not suit blade lovers
- Toe hang is less ideal for very straight strokes
- Only one shape in the Kalea Gold line here
★★★★★
Best for straight strokes: Ping G Le4 Oslo
The Oslo is PING’s high-MOI mallet for golfers with a straight stroke. A perimeter-weighted aluminium body, a low centre of gravity and a ball-width back cavity make it very easy to aim and forgiving to strike.
Straight stroke
Ball-width cavity
PP58 Tour M grip
If you move the putter straight back and straight through, the Oslo is the natural choice for women in this guide. The double-bend hosel keeps the face stable through the stroke, so you are not fighting a face that wants to open and close.
Aiming is where it shines. The back cavity is the width of a golf ball and runs into a long alignment line, so framing the ball at address feels very natural. The forged aluminium body in Galactic Lilac, with a pearl chrome sole plate, looks premium without being flashy.
The new one-piece PEBAX insert feels slightly softer than earlier G Le models while keeping the distance control you need on longer putts. It is one of the most accomplished putters PING has made for women.
- Superb alignment from the cavity and line
- Stable for straight strokes
- Softer new insert
- Premium finish
- Joint most expensive in our five
- Less suited to an arcing stroke
- Lilac colour will not suit everyone
★★★★☆
Most forgiving: Ping G Le3 Ketsch G
The Ketsch G is the most forgiving design in the G Le3 range. A fully machined aluminium body with a stainless steel sole plate pushes the MOI up, and a built-in ball pick-up feature saves you bending down.
Two-piece PEBAX insert
Ball pick-up
Straight stroke
For golfers who struggle to find the centre of the face, this is our most forgiving ladies’ putter. The multi-material construction spreads weight to the edges of the head, so a putt struck off the heel or toe loses far less speed and direction than it would with a blade.
The two-piece PEBAX insert combines a soft front layer with a firmer back, which gives a responsive but gentle feel. The ball pick-up feature is a small detail that many golfers love, especially anyone with a stiff back or knees.
At £219 it costs £80 less than the newer G Le4 mallets while offering very similar forgiveness. If you want the stability of a big mallet without paying for the newest model, it is excellent value.
- Highest forgiveness in the PING line-up
- Ball pick-up saves bending
- Cheaper than the G Le4 mallets
- 33 inch standard length
- Previous generation design
- Suits straight strokes only
- Large head shape
★★★★☆
Best for arcing strokes: Ping G Le4 Louise
Named after PING co-founder Louise Solheim, this mid-mallet borrows its shape and weighting from the DS72. A flared hosel and parallel-tip shaft suit a strong arc stroke.
Strong arc
One-piece PEBAX insert
Aluminium cover
Many womens putters are designed around straight strokes, leaving golfers with a natural arc short of options. The Louise fills that gap. Its slant neck gives plenty of toe hang, so the face opens and closes with the arc rather than against it.
Construction is premium: a cast stainless steel body with pearl chrome plating and a forged aluminium cover in Galactic Lilac. The mid-mallet size gives more forgiveness than a blade while still looking compact and tidy behind the ball.
Like the Oslo, it uses the new one-piece PEBAX insert for a slightly softer feel, and the PP58 Tour M grip in lilac completes the look.
- Built for a strong arc stroke
- Compact mid-mallet shape
- Premium multi-material build
- Soft, controlled feel
- Joint is the most expensive in our five
- Wrong choice for straight strokes
- Less forgiving than a full mallet
★★★★☆
Best value: Ping G Le3 Anser
The Anser is the most famous putter shape in golf, and this G Le3 version adapts it for women. A full-face PEBAX insert and a sight line in the cavity keep it simple and effective.
Two-piece PEBAX insert
Cavity sight line
33″ standard
For golfers who like to see a traditional blade behind the ball, this is our most affordable women’s putter at £189. The heel-toe weighted Anser shape gives more forgiveness than its clean looks suggest, and it suits a gentle arc stroke.
The two-piece PEBAX insert pairs a soft front with a firmer back layer, giving good feedback without feeling harsh. The platinum-plated stainless steel head has a timeless look that will not date.
A blade will never be as stable as a mallet, so golfers who miss the centre often should look at the Ketsch G instead. For more on head shapes, see our mallet putter guide.
- Lowest price in our five
- Timeless Anser shape
- Good feedback from the insert
- Suits a gentle arc
- Least forgiving on mishits
- Previous generation model
- Smaller alignment aid
Women’s putter technology explained
MOI
Moment of inertia measures how much a head resists twisting. High-MOI mallets such as the Spider S and Oslo keep the face square on off-centre strikes, protecting both line and pace.
Toe hang
A face-balanced putter points its face to the sky when balanced on a finger. Toe hang lets the face rotate on an arc. Matching toe hang to your stroke is the key fitting step.
PEBAX inserts
PING’s PEBAX elastomer inserts soften the feel at impact. The G Le4 uses a new one-piece insert, while the G Le3 uses a two-piece design with a soft front and firmer back.
Grooved faces
TaylorMade’s Pure Roll insert uses angled grooves to grip the ball and add forward roll. Less skid means more consistent distance, particularly on bumpy greens.
Multi-material heads
Pairing light aluminium with heavy steel or tungsten moves weight to the edges of the head. That raises MOI without making the putter feel heavy in your hands.
Women’s specifications
Shorter lengths, slimmer grips and balanced head weights keep the putter feeling right at women’s dimensions, rather than light and whippy like a cut-down men’s model.

Frequently asked questions – Best Putters for Women
What length putter should a woman use?
Usually 32 to 33 inches.
Most women’s putters come in around 32 to 33 inches, compared with 34 to 35 inches for men. Height, arm length and posture matter more than gender, so check that your eyes sit over the ball with your arms hanging naturally. A PGA professional can confirm the right length in a few minutes.
Can women use a men’s putter?
Yes, but it is rarely ideal.
A men’s putter cut down to women’s length loses swing weight, which can make the head feel light and harder to control. The grip will also be thicker. Dedicated ladies putters are balanced for the shorter length and fitted with slimmer grips, which usually makes pace control easier.
Is a mallet or a blade better for women?
Most golfers putt better with a mallet.
Mallets have higher MOI, so they stay steadier when you miss the centre, and they usually have bolder alignment aids. Blades offer a cleaner look and more feedback. If you are newer to the game or struggle with consistency, start with a mallet such as the Spider S or Oslo.
How do I know my stroke type?
Watch how the putter moves on a straight line.
Lay a club on the ground along your target line and make some practice strokes. If the putter head stays over the line, you have a straight stroke and suit a face-balanced mallet. If it moves inside the line on the way back and through, you have an arc and suit toe hang.
How much should I spend on a putter?
Between £189 and £299 buys a quality model.
Our five putters for women sit between £189 and £299. Newer models add refinements such as softer inserts, but a previous generation design like the G Le3 Anser or Ketsch G still performs superbly. You use the putter on every hole, so it is worth buying one you love.
Can I return a putter if it does not suit me?
Yes, within 60 days.
If the putter is unused, unopened and in its original packaging, you may return it within 60 days for a full refund under our returns policy. Orders over £30 also qualify for free UK standard delivery, so talk to our team first if you want help choosing.
