Best mallet putter of 2025: The top 5

T4. TaylorMade Spider Tour X: 7.04%

TaylorMade’s pitch: “Made famous by Rory McIlroy, the sought-after Spider X shape combines the performance of a blade with the benefits of a mallet design.”

T4. Scotty Cameron Phantom 5: 7.04%

Scotty Cameron’s pitch: “The Phantom 5 stays true to its compact mallet configuration and blade-like feel with an updated, more modern shape, precision milled and engineered using a combination of 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. Astute comparison to former versions reveals a straighter wing angle, while the updated topline includes elegantly milled sight dots accented with translucent smoke paintfill for confident alignment over every putt.”

3. TaylorMade Spider 5K-ZT: 7.77%

TaylorMade’s pitch: “Experience all the benefits you’ve become accustomed to with Spider putters in a whole new package designed to deliver unmatched stability and consistent performance on the greens.”

2. L.A.B. OZ.1i: 13.35%

L.A.B. Golf’s pitch: “OZ.1 is our first half-moon style mallet putter, and the solid-body construction of the putter – no large holes or fangs like our other mallet putters – felt incredible from the start. We spent a great deal of time fine-tuning OZ.1 to make it the most “normal” mallet putter we’ve ever created in terms of sound and feel. That’s true with both OZ.1i and OZ.1.”

1. L.A.B. DF3: 18.20%

L.A.B. Golf’s pitch: “Ever since we launched our first putter, Directed Force, golfers have been asking if we could make it less weird. DF3 is that putter. We took a chisel to the original Lie Angle Balanced putter to make DF3 smaller and sleeker while honoring the shape of the putter that started it all for us. DF3 still does everything golfers love about the original. It stays square by itself. It’s still irrationally forgiving on mishits. But DF3 is going to be a lot more happy making to the vast majority of golfers because it sets up clean and feels and sounds like a dream.”
