Adams DiXX Blue Key Feature: The detachable computer terminal provides immediate feedback on swing path, impact position, tempo, face angle and a swing’s “speed balance.”
What We Like: The DiXX told us where we needed to improve immediately after we made a stroke. That’s invaluable. The “Blue” is a much cheaper version of last year’s version.
Who It’s For: Although it’s a little pricey, it’s great for people who don’t have access to high-tech putting studios.
Putterhead: Aluminum • Putterface: Same
Weight: Std. • Designs: Heel-shafted, face-balanced mallet with a detachable computer

Cleveland VP Series Key Feature: Using Dual Axis Alignment, the VP series ensures the golfer that he’s set up directly over the ball and the face is aligned properly.
What We Like:When aligned perfectly, the alignment lines fall into place, making it easy
to get in the right place and make a confident stroke. Also, the three lie options is a huge plus in our book.
Who It’s For: Everyone, especially those who want to make sure they have a good, sound setup position.
Putterhead: Steel • Putterface: Elastomer Weight: Standard • Designs: VP1, VP2 blade; VP5 mallet

Cleveland VP Milled Series Key Feature: Much like the VP Series that uses Dual Axis Alignment, the VP Milled has the same technology but in a precision-milled form.
What We Like: The milled design is generally preferred by better players who want the utmost in feel, consistency and weight. The low price tag (for a milled putter) is awesome; so too is the choice between three different head designs and three different lie configurations.
Who It’s For: Although better players will love them, these putters perform well for everyone.
Putterhead: Carbon steel • Putterface: Same Weight: Standard • Designs: VP1, VP2 blade; VP5 mallet
