Blast Golf Swing Analyzer
Blast Golf's putter-mounted sensor is positioned as a best-in-class choice for stroke analysis because it was built specifically for putting and offers high-resolution motion tracking and immediate, coach-friendly metrics. Compared with more general club-tracking systems on this list, Blast prioritizes putter-specific KPIs (toe path, face angle, tempo) at a competitive consumer price, making it technically focused yet financially accessible for golfers who want deep putting feedback without buying a full-club or launch-monitor ecosystem.

Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors
Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors lead the market as a data-rich, AI-driven system that includes a putter sensor and integrates shot-tracking into an automated caddie experience. While not limited to putting like Blast, Arccos' advantage is its club-by-club statistical context and predictive distance analytics, which add strategic value beyond pure stroke mechanics; this broader capability comes with a higher initial spend and optional subscription for premium caddie features, trading specialized putter detail for holistic course intelligence.

Garmin Approach CT10
Garmin's CT10 club sensors are market-leading for golfers who want seamless integration with a watch-centric golf ecosystem and long battery life in a small, rugged sensor package. They may not offer the same putter-dedicated stroke-metrics as Blast, but their technical strength lies in reliable automatic shot detection, multi-sensor durability and tight integration with Garmin course mapping — a financially sensible pick for players already invested in Garmin devices who prefer a single vendor for hardware and course data.

SkyTrak Golf Launch Monitor
SkyTrak is included as a market leader for players seeking launch-monitor-grade ball and launch data that can be applied to putting analysis when paired with appropriate setups; its photometric accuracy and simulator-ready feature set exceed what typical putter-mounted accelerometers provide. Technically more powerful and more expensive than dedicated putter sensors, SkyTrak offers a broader performance-investment tradeoff: pay more for comprehensive ball-flight and club-impact data, or stick with a lower-cost, putter-focused sensor for stroke mechanics.
