Rossa,  Odyssey. and somebody else.

Two sales people at Golf Smith told me, yes they are made that way, some people want their hands behind the ball?  A salesman at Rodger Dunn tells me its the hot thing on tour???

PS: I'm more interested in getting a Edel fitting. I putt better NOT looking at the ball and wonder why?

i think you have this backwards. putters are being designed you encourage a forward press, i.e. get your hands in front of the ball. see: odyssey backstryke

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Just because the shaft enters towards the back doesn't mean the hands are back.
