Your putter is the only club you use on every hole — unless you hole a chip or approach shot, and in that case, good for you. But because it's used so much, the retail prices of premium flat sticks can be outrageously high. And since no one wants to pay an arm and a leg for a putter, many amateur golfers hold onto old putters for way too long.

Technology gets better over the years and modern putters are better designed to help the average golfer make more putts. If you're still using a putter from 10, 20, or 30 years ago, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage.

So, we thought it'd be a good idea to put together a list of some of the best affordable putters we could find from brands like Ping, TaylorMade, Odyssey and more.

Every putter on this list is less than $200.
