The Best Milled Putters in DTC Golf

What Is A Milled Putter?

For this collection we have determined a milled putter to be type of golf putter that is crafted from a single, solid block of metal—usually stainless steel or aluminum—through a process called CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling.

We have not included putters that simply have a milled face. You can find that collection here.

Are Milled Putters Better?

The main benefit of a milled putter is its precision and consistency.

Because it is made from a single piece of metal, it ensures that there are no inconsistencies or imperfections in the design that could affect the putter's balance or performance.

Milled putters often provide a premium feel and superior feedback when striking the ball, giving golfers a better sense of control and touch on the greens.

The design and feel make milled putters highly favored among golfers looking for maximum precision and performance in their putting game.

Many golfers also appreciate the craftsmanship and aesthetics of milled putters, as they tend to have a more refined and elegant look compared to cast or mass-produced alternatives.

Therefore, if you value any of these features then a milled putter could be better for you.

What is the difference between a milled putter and simply a milled putter face?

The key difference between a milled putter and a milled putter face lies in how much of the putter is produced using the milling process.

1. Milled Putter:

A milled putter refers to a putter that is entirely crafted from a single block of metal, usually through a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling process.

The entire head of the putter, including the face, sole, and back, is machined from one solid piece of metal.

This results in a putter with consistent feel, balance, and weight distribution throughout the head, offering a higher level of precision and craftsmanship.

Milled putters are typically more expensive due to the time-consuming and meticulous manufacturing process.

2. Milled Putter Face:

A milled putter face, on the other hand, means only the face of the putter has been machined or milled, while the rest of the putter may be produced using other manufacturing methods like casting.

Milling the face creates precise grooves and patterns that help improve the consistency and feel of the putter when striking the ball.

The rest of the putter head might be made from different materials or through a less expensive production method, resulting in a lower overall cost compared to fully milled putters.

Summary of Differences:

• A milled putter is fully machined from a single block of metal, ensuring consistent quality across the entire putter.
• A** milled putter face** means only the face is milled, while the rest of the putter is often made using other, typically less expensive processes.
• Both options improve the performance and feel of the putter, but fully milled putters tend to offer a higher level of craftsmanship and performance at a premium price point.
