Meridian Putters Review

Made in the USA and based out of Brookfield, WI, Meridian Putters might be the diamond in the rough that you haven't heard about just yet. Specializing in milled-to-order customization and incredible performance, each putter by Meridian is considered 1-of-1, offering players custom designs at affordable prices.

Meridian Putters Background

Meridian’s brand motto is making the best putter possible at a price that isn’t prohibitive. They want you to enjoy your putter and more importantly, enjoy the game.

We at GU are all about enjoying the game as much as possible for as many people as possible, and that includes working with brands who are interested in breaking down barriers of entry for the best equipment possible. With custom designs starting in the low $200 range, Meridian Putters fits that bill perfectly.

They believe that all golfers should have access to the best possible equipment without having to shell out thousands of dollars. This is especially true for a game where custom equipment can easily soar to high price tags, forcing most golfers to rely on off-the-rack, ill-fitting equipment options as an alternative. In the end, the golfer suffers on the course and big box brands lose a potential customer.

Meridian flips all of that on its head by offering a customization process that allows you to choose every single detail about your putter, including finish, head shape, milling pattern, and engraving options.

Meridian Customization

The process is incredibly simple and can be accomplished via the brand’s website. When ordering your Meridian putter, you are presented with a buffet of options that will make any golfer giddy with excitement.

After selecting your preferred putter head shape, you are then presented with a menu of customization options like alignment style, face finish, loft, length, lie angle, and heel or face stamping. Meridian will work with you on orders of any size and volume, down to custom face milling options for a logo of your choice. The amount of detail this brand offers its customers is astounding, truly making them stand out from the crowd in a saturated market.

Meridian also has the capacity to fulfill bulk orders, including groomsmen gifts, team orders and more.

Feel and Performance

Customization options are one thing; building a putter that performs and feels great is something else entirely. Meridian excels in this realm as well, providing a final product that rivals — and exceeds — the biggest name brands in the business.

We were highly impressed with our custom putter in every possible category. The feel off the oilcan finish is soft and buttery, offering a muted sound at impact which is music to our ears. Meridian was able to fit the putter to our specific loft, lie, and length (known from a previous fitting), making the putter one-of-a-kind.

Make no mistake: these are custom putters that could easily be priced hundreds of dollars more than their current price tag, and their performance backs it up.

Overall Impression

Meridian Putters are truly making something special for golfers who want to upgrade their game without breaking the bank. The number of options available to make each putter your own is immense and not something we’ve seen from other brands in recent years.
