Opinions?

I've used mallet putters my entire golf career but I've been out of the game for the last few years.

I'm guessing Odyssey is still near/at the top...
Whats in my bag:
Driver: R7 Superquad 10.5 Stiff Stock
Wood: R7 3 wood Stiff Stock, r7 5 wood Stiff Stock
Irons: Command BK 3-PW Stiff TT Black Gold Shafts
Wedges: 52, 56, 60Putter: Dual Force Rossie II or White Hot XG #9 (Haven't had a chance to use both yet.)

Odyssey still are the best mallets in my opinion.

Alot of styles to choose from, my personal favorite is the XG Sabertooth putter or the White Steel 2 ball.

Thinking about getting one, but I just bought my Scotty and I would hate to have spent $250 for nothing.

Cant go wrong with an Odyssey putter, and I am sure alot of people on here will tell you the same thing.

I would suggest you hit a few before you choose the one thats going to be in your bag for the next few years to come.
In My Bridgestone Stand Bag:

Driver: TM r7 425 TP (8.5*) Stiff
Wood: TM Ti 5 Wood (18*) Stiff
Irons: TM r7 TP Irons (3-PW) RegularGW LW: TM rac Satin TPs ( 52* 56* 60*)Putter: TM Rossa Monza Spider Balls: Bridgestone B330s

I second the Ping nomination. I think Yes! mallets are remarkable and you can't go wrong with a Newport Detour.

In my bag you'll find:

Irons[SIZE="1"] Big Bertha X-Fuision 5 ~ PW (graphite)
Hybrids 3DX Genex 2i (17*) and 4i (23*) (steel)
SW 256.10 Vokey Black Nickle (56* / 10*) (steel)LW 260.4 Vokey oil can (60* / 4*) (steel)Woods G2i (17*) 3w (graphite)Putter 34" Newport Detour

With all opinions--i agree that the new TaylorMade Spider is the mallet of the future. With the high MOI--it has found its way into Tour players bags..Remember JB Holmes--he beat Phil Mickelson with it. Credit to Taylormade--they just keep putting out new technology--This high MOI putter looks dominating

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

The best mallet (or any putter for that matter) is the one that visually looks good to you, gives you the feel you are looking for and is properly fitted for your putting stroke.

I don't know about that. I'd agree with you most of the time until I saw how well i could putt with the Odyssey White Hot XG Sabertooth. That thing is UGLY IMO.....sorry anyone who likes it.

visually looks like a cincy bengal to me... gawd awful ugly LOL

There are a ton of great mallets out there. It really depends on your taste. Scotty's X-series are beautiful. I've got my eye on the X5. I play a Yes! mallet. It's automatic even though it sounds odd. I've essentially gotten over it since I putt way better with that crazy thing. TaylorMade, Titleist, Odyssey, SeeMore... there are a bunch out there. Plus there's a handful of boutique putter-makers (Slighter comes to mind) that create interesting designs.

If you see your backstroke waver side to side like mine does a Heavy Putter might be for you. I know I should practice more but I've got 4 kids (2-13yrs) so that's not happening. With this thing its like taking aim and pulling a trigger. I just pull it back and let gravity take over. It's ugly and the feel is terrible, but it's working for me.

driver: G10 draw 9 degrees
hybrids DWS 16 and 20 degrees
irons: x-16 3-pw
wedges: 588 RTG 51, 56 & 60
putter: Heavy Putter B3-Mball: hx tour (I'll switch after I lose these)

Doctorfro mentioned the Zebra. I liked it, used to play with one back in the mid 90's...

Was curious about putter fitting, so I went ahead with a Ping rep last year and was hooked on the Redwood Piper S. The fitting was beneficial for sure. My putter before was the Odyssey 2-ball mallet, which I got when it was all the rage a few years back. It's all about personal preference and confidence to me.

Driver: Cobra S2 9.5 Fubuki 73 Stiff | Wood: Titleist 909H 17 Aldila Voodoo Stiff | Irons: Titleist ZB 3-5, ZM 6-PW DG S300 | Wedges: Titleist Vokey SMTC 50.08, 54.11, 60.04 DG S200 | Putter: Scotty Cameron Fastback 1.5 33" | Ball: Titleist Pro V1x

I agree... I own the G2i Craz-e and it is butter. The alignment aid combines rounded shapes and straight lines, and it is blue (my favorite color)... generally it just fits my eye. When I looked for a new putter I always went back to trying this one in the store... the Odyssey two-ball is nice but the head seems too small for my taste, but it does align nicely.

The best mallet (or any putter for that matter) is the one that visually looks good to you, gives you the feel you are looking for and is properly fitted for your putting stroke.

I completely agree.

just a note... the new Taylor Made Spider and Odyssey Sabertooth both look terrible to me... way too angular. The rife two-bar makes a nice mallet too.
My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

      Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him.

      Anyone Shipped Their Golf Clubs?

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
