Find Left Handed Putters and Clubs

For years, left handed golfers have been on the sidelines. For a sport with a history as long as it is, a lefty didn't win a major PGA title until Bob Charles in the 1960's. Walk into any local pro shop and look around for left handed putters, drivers, and irons. The choices are usually few and far between, and definitely more limited than right handed options. Left handed golfers make up 10-15% of the market though, and with another win under Phil Mickelson's belt at this years Masters in Augusta, it's likely that left hand clubs will start to have more presence.

While brick and mortar stores catch up to demand, the best place to find left handed putters, drivers, and irons is right here online. Rather than one or two options, almost all clubs can now be ordered either RH or LH. Amazon, the leader in online shopping, carries most major brands. Other trusted golf sources like Golfsmith also offer impressive inventories. Best of all, golfers can find reviews, deals, and news on what's hot quickly and easily.

And why the new demand? Well the lack of accessible left handed clubs and instruction have been pushing a lot of lefties towards picking up RH clubs. But now, with Mickelson's latest win and the growing options online, more lefties are realizing they don't need to compromise as they start up the sport. And as many righties are finding out (Mickelson is actually right handed and only golfs left handed), golfing left handed has been benefits when you have more strength and control on the right side of your body.

Another example of the prominence of lefties on tour, Odyssey is finally going to release a special edition putter that matches what Phil Mickelson uses. For years he has tinkered with different lofts, weights, and inserts on left handed putters that were only available to him. But as a limited edition offer, Odyssey will be offering Phil's Blade Putter with his specifications in the limited quantities of 82 LH putters, and 82 RH putters (for the not so low price of $500 each).

I think the demand for this product and people asking for left handed clubs will be a driving nail to get more attention to the left handed golf market.
