Cleveland Heights, Ohio — Independent golf equipment testing has put Spoiler Golf firmly on the map. Following hands-on evaluation by Rick Shiels and the H.I.T. Golf team, the Spoiler Golf OG putter was named Best Putter of 2025, with Spoiler Golf also earning Best Value Putter of 2025 honors in the annual H.I.T. Awards—recognition driven by roll performance, visible feedback, and innovation, rather than brand size or marketing spend. The recognition places Spoiler Golf among the top-performing putter brands of 2025 despite being a young, independent company focused exclusively on putter design.
The H.I.T. Awards recognize top-performing golf equipment following independent testing and evaluation by Rick Shiels and the H.I.T. Golf team. The results were announced in a published awards video on the H.I.T. Golf YouTube channel – The Best Putters of The Year – H.I.T Awards.
Rick Shiels is one of the most widely followed voices in golf equipment media, known for independent testing, technical analysis, and transparent reviews trusted by millions of golfers worldwide.
Best Putter 2025 — Spoiler Golf OG
In naming the Spoiler Golf OG as Best Putter 2025, Shiels cited both performance and innovation:
“For me, the best putter of 2025 goes to the Spoiler Golf Silver OG.”
He noted the immediate impression the putter made during testing:
“This putter honestly caught my attention.”
“The roll you get off this is unbelievable.”
Shiels emphasized that the award reflected the broader concept behind the design:
“As an idea, as a concept, as something that really, really blew me away and impressed me this year — this is why I’ve given it Best Putter 2025.”
Looking ahead, he added:
“I believe this technology story is going to catch on. I really do.”
Best Value Putter 2025 — Spoiler Golf
Spoiler Golf also received Best Value Putter 2025, recognizing performance and technology relative to price in a category increasingly dominated by premium-priced equipment.
“The technology and the design of the head is very, very forward-thinking,” said Shiels, noting that Spoiler stood out when evaluated against the broader market.
