Top 3 Best Blade Putters for Medium Length Putts
The medium-length putts are the ones that define rounds. They’re the birdie looks you hope to convert and the par saves that keep your round on track. Our latest testing confirms what many golfers have long suspected: mid-range putting is where the biggest performance gaps exist. In fact, the difference in PuttView Handicap between the best and worst blade putters from this range is 14.6 strokes.
If you’re serious about scoring and want a putter that gives you a real edge, these are the three best blade putters for medium-length putts in 2025.
Tommy Armour Impact No. 2
In 2025, our testing evolved with the introduction of the PuttView Handicap, a new metric that enables us to assess putter performance at various distances. Among the 32 blade putters tested by 20 avid golfers, the Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 stood out for its consistency and proximity to the hole from mid-range.
This performance earned it the title of Best Blade Putter of 2025.
Testers repeatedly noted its clean, simple look and confident feel. Phrases like “great feel,” “felt really confident,” and “made a lot of putts” were common feedback points. And at under $150, it stands out as a rare case where top-tier performance doesn’t require a large investment.
Its short and long-range performance is more middle-of-the-pack. If those ranges are where you struggle most, other options might be better suited.
Buy this if:
You want one of the best-performing putters from mid-range.
You’re shopping for a blade putter under $150 that punches above its price.
Don’t buy this if:
Your biggest struggles are on short or long putts
You want something with more name recognition or high-end finish
PING Scottsdale Anser
The PING Scottsdale Anser ranks second overall for PuttView Handicap from medium-range putts, making it one of the best blade putters in this critical scoring zone.
This strong performance was a major factor in Anser’s sixth-place overall finish. Testers consistently praised its traditional look and roll quality, with comments like “classic,” “comfortable,” and “familiar.”
While it shines from mid-range, its performance tapers off on long putts, where it landed in the bottom half of the field.
Buy this if:
You want a traditional blade design with proven feel and consistent roll.
You value data-backed results over flashy features.
Don’t buy this if:
You struggle with long putts and need help controlling speed from distance.
You prefer a more modern look or alignment setup.
Cleveland HB Soft 2 Black Model 1
The Cleveland HB Soft 2 Black Model 1 ranks third in mid-range putting performance and quietly proves it belongs among the best blade putters of 2025.
Cleveland has done well, especially from a value standpoint, in some of our recent putter testing. The HB Soft 2 Black Model 1 not only ranks third in our mid-range category, but it also holds its own from longer distances.
Testers consistently praised its feel, setup, and overall balance. When you add in the fact that it’s one of the more affordable options in our top performers, it’s certainly a putter worth testing.
Buy this if:
You want strong performance from both mid- and long-range.
You’re looking for a quality blade without spending over $250.
Don’t buy this if:
You prefer something more premium-branded or tour-played.
