Don't exactly know what you mean by a "nice" putter. On a fast green any putter should do the job butz. Putting is strictly a matter of feel (distance) and technique. I figure you could give Tiger a broken broom handle and he'd devolope it into a viable putter. Practice Practice Practice thats the only nice putter you need.

If you are talking about greens that are REALLY fast, not just slightly faster than usual, you might want to consider finding a lightweight putter that puts a good roll on the ball as early as possible. In other words, you don't want to change your setup and stroke too much, but since you will be putting a lighter hit on the ball, you need to get it on line as easily as possible. Slower moving putts are easier to get off line.

I have a Nike putter at home that I don't particularly care for on a day to day basis where I typically play, (Ping Anser style head), but when I go to a couple particular courses where the greens stimp around 12, I take it. It's still not my favorite putter, but it lets me get used to the faster speed a lot easier than if I took my Oddysey and tried to change my stroke.

my scotty cameron studio style is great on fast greens which is why i bought it, my home course consistently stimps 12-13 in the summer. its light and rolls the ball great. my dad has an old fat lady putter that he only uses on fast greens because the ball comes off the face so soft that you can take a normal stroke on fast greens. its useless on slow greens or uphill putts though

I resently bought a Heavy Putter, just for that purpose..I have NEVER seen a better club for fast greens. It works like a lead weight..you just line it up, and let it fall. Check one out at GS, they really are cool!
