Haven't seen too many threads about putters but boy the new high-tech mallet putters are very cool.

I'm guess I'm a little late...but I finally put a new putter in my bag. I've been playing the same Ping Anser 4 for almost 20 years. It's always been great...and putting is the best part of my game...so I figured why change.

But I had a chance to buy a clone version of the TM Tri-Ball and man I love it. It just keeps moving down the line and puts a great roll on the ball.

Only had it a couple of weeks so...we'll see how long it lasts but so far, so GREAT!

Anyone, else love their mallet?

One of the greatest putting runs I ever had was with a Fat Lady Swings (which has been reborn by MacGregor in an "improved" version). It was a face balanced putter, as most mallets are today. I still have it, actually.

It was just awesome on Bermuda greens. But after awhile it lost its magic. I've since returned to an Anser-like style because a toe-down putter just works better with a "closing door" kind of stroke.

That you mention your new putter "goes down the line" makes me think you're a "square to square" kind of putter. If so, then your new magic wand is perfect for you.

Now go kill 'em!

I just made the switch from a Ping Zing that I've been using for 18 years to a Yes Victoria 2. The difference in the feel of impact is huge - the face balancing really keeps the putter from wanting to twist upon impact.

    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe. 
    • What's the rest of that story? Where was the ball going?
    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
