Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 Putter
A traditional blade putter named after a Golf Hall of Famer — Tommy Armour's Impact No. 2 delivers a classic heel-toe weighted design with a soft face insert at the most accessible price point in our putter rankings.
The consensus
The Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 is a budget blade putter that offers the most accessible price point in our putter rankings at $150. Carrying the name of Silver Scot Tommy Armour — a three-time major winner who was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame — the Impact No. 2 delivers a traditional heel-toe weighted blade design with a soft insert face and a plumber's neck hosel that provides moderate toe hang. For beginners, casual golfers, and budget-conscious players who need a functional blade, it gets the job done.
The honest assessment: the Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 performs adequately for its purpose and price, but it faces tough competition from slightly more expensive alternatives that deliver noticeably better technology. The Wilson Infinite Buckingham at $180 delivers face milling, a higher-MOI design, and an included oversized grip that outperforms the Tommy Armour across every performance category. Forum users who directly compared the two consistently chose to spend the extra $30. For $150, the Tommy Armour works — it rolls the ball forward, it looks like a putter, and it doesn't embarrass itself.
Where it struggles: build quality and feel. The cast construction shows finish inconsistencies, and the impact character is muted in a way that doesn't provide informative feedback about strike quality. The face insert is soft but thin, and experienced golfers will notice the material difference versus quality insert putters. There's no fitting program, no custom options, and no aftermarket support pathway. The Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 is exactly what it is: an honest entry-level blade at the lowest price tier, best suited for players who need a functional starting point or a budget-friendly introduction to the blade putter category.
