For Odyssey’s new Backstryke trio, the shaft has been moved further back on the clubhead, so the axis of the shaft point is as close as possible to the putter head’s centre of gravity. Odyssey claims this produces ‘Stroke Balance’ – a fluid and stable stroke path for improved control. The three designs are the 2-Ball, Blade and Marxman, all with White Ice multi-layer face inserts.

For the California series, Cameron has combined four classic head shapes with the contemporary weighting technology of the Studio Select putters. Cameron’s ‘Select’ technology is designed to enable the weight of a putter head to be balanced with shaft length, so the longer a golfer’s preferred shaft, the lighter the clubhead. The Monterey is pictured.

The Wilson Staff 8883 precision-milled putter is based on the company's classic designs but is intended to offer improved performance and feel.

As an optional extra, golfers can buy the weight kit for £39 with a pair of 20-gram weights and a pair of 28- gram weights, so the club weight can be adjusted to personal preference.

One of 10 putters in Spherical Blade's 2009 range, the Emperor combines S-Blade's curved face technology with a conventional blade head shape. A northsouth curve on the putter face is designed to ensure the ball is always struck above its mid-point, to encourage a topspin roll, while S-Blade says the convex east-west curve widens the putter's sweet spot.

The Precision Milled Blackline FM-01 from Nicklaus Golf comes with a mallet head, with a view to providing a high moment of inertia. The weight of the clubhead is also concentrated where the putter should strike the equator of the golf ball, to encourage a topspin roll, and the club also features an extended sight alignment line. The club is CNC precision milled and comes with soft urethane face insert to enhance feel.

Putting biomechanics expert Dr Paul Hurrion has collaborated with Gel on a range of putters for the second time. The Rego mallet putter with a centre shaft is part of the Paul Hurrion Signature Range and comes with a multi-layer grooved aluminium insert. GEL's grooves are designed to give the ball that allimportant forward roll from impact, thereby eliminating skidding and increasing the control golfers have over their putts.

Yes! Golf has introduced the Tracy III Plus, which is available with an Interchangeable Hosel System.

The putter face comes with horizontal grooves with a view to maximising the forward roll of putts.

Rife founder Guerin Rife believes deceleration at impact is the number-one fault in putting, which is why he designed the IMO, which stands for ‘Inline momentum'. 85% of the IMO's mass is concentrated directly behind the impact area of the putter-head, with a view to helping golfers drive trough the ball. The IMO is available in the UK from June.

TaylorMade has launched a new, premium line of five Rossa TP putters designed by Kia Ma.

The clubhead is built with heel-toe weighting to maximise the moment of inertia, to resist the clubhead twisting at impact, and it comes with a hand-polished satin finish.

The clubface on Yonex's Cyberstar CP-02 mallet putter is milled from a responsive material called M2052, which is often used in precision audio equipment. The theory is that the M2052 absorbs vibrations from a limited frequency band, while allowing the vibrations through to the shaft and hands that enable golfers to receive a clear feel for the club and hence, accurate distance control. The mallet head is designed to provide a greater moment of inertia for maximum forgiveness.

Nike's iC putter range were designed with input from the company's optical research director, with a view to optimising the shape, location and contrast of the alignment aid on the putter head. The theory is that these measures will help golfers focus on the putter face, which helps to keep the putter face square to the line of putt. The putter face is CNC milled flat, and 34" or 36" club lengths are available.

RDE stands for ‘Reduced Dimple Error' and is supposed to be pronounced ‘Ready'. The scientists at Zen Oracle say the ‘precise micro ridges' on the RDE mallet's clubface improve putting dispersion by up to 50%, by reducing the deflection that can be caused by the dimple pattern on golf balls. The putter can also serve as a training aid if golfers practice their putting stroke with a ball inserted into the clubhead's aperture.

Nickent's Pipe II PP/05 features a face insert with ‘alternating groove technology'. The idea is that with grooves alternating in size and depth, the putter face will have fractionally longer contact with the ball, which should encourage a topspin roll. The club is built with a cylinder pipe alignment device with a tungsten plug at the back of to increase the putter's MOI.

Wilson Staff has combined its latest technology with the classic shape of its TPA putter from two decades ago, to make the new 8876.
