Blade or Semi Mallet as long as they are heel shafted, and not huge moi monsters.

Do you prefer blade or mallet putters? Why? Is there a significant difference in performance over the other?

Mallets, like belly and long putters, are signs of being one step closer to a mental breakdown. Once you've gone to the long putter, you'll be in a round rubber room in the very near future.

"Yonex ADX Blade putter, odyssey two ball blade putter, both  33"

ProV-1


Until venturing into a local store 2 weeks ago, I had never even tried another putter (I've had my light blade for 16 years.) The mallets I tried were comfortable, but I opted for a blade with a flange . I'm normally very pleased with my line, but leave too many putts short. I'm looking forward to trying the new one but can't right now for the snow on the ground.

I have been a blade player with my Wilson 8802. But decided for this winter to get a little more weight in the putter. So I went to the Odyssey site (highly recommended) and took their online fitting questionaire. Of course...they ask if the preference is blade or mallet...

So what I did was did it twice....once mallet...second time blade.

I went to try out all the suggested models and was pretty much set to get the White Hot XG #9 (like Phil M putter). But trying out the Rossi model...decided that the Rossi 'mallet' was easier to handle, line-up, etc.

For a 'square to square' putting stroke...seems like the mallet with a face balance head really does the trick.

Take the Odyssey online fitting. It is pretty good.

Me personnally like the mallet putter better. I like a little bit more weight in my putters and the blade seems weightless in somecases and push a lot when i tired blades. With my mallet im more consistent

    • Its good to hear you're back to swinging, and more important that you're feeling healthy enough to do it.  As Bill says, take it gently, push just a little, I'm sure you'll be back to speed soon.  
    • Yeah, all of the basic PA relief options are available for just one stroke.  However, 17.2a(2) offers an additional choice, the Player might choose to take Stroke and Distance by dropping within the PA, where he made his first attempt to play from the PA.  If he decides after dropping not to play it, he can then take any of the other options, for one additional PS, two in total.   Model Local Rule E-11 is probably being used.  The Committee can define whether the rule applies only to specific power lines or structures, could limit it to only those lines or structures in bounds.  However, then you have to determine where the ball hit the power line, which is pretty difficult, so most often they apply no matter where the ball hits the power line.  You can check the specific wording of the local rule to be sure. And the MLR as written applies no mater where the ball ends up.  So I think you did right, the player should replay the stroke with no penalty. You're right, the DQ only applies if a Stroke is made with the non-conforming club.  We'd have acted very quickly if we could have avoided that.  However, he had stickers on the driver, and we were made aware he had hit driver several times before we got the report.  
    • Always summed up my feelings about the man.  I'm a life-long Reds fan (took me till 12 to discover hockey). Even though I was pretty young, I remember the excitement when Rose came back to Cincinnati from Montreal and broke Cobb's record.  My parents weren't big TV people, so the night he got that hit off Eric Show, I was messing with an ancient black and white we had in the basement. Got it to work just well enough with the rabbit ears to get a half decent picture. It was an exciting moment for sure.  Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. I suppose it is always tough on kids when their team's major stars show their warts. All those years of denial plus the occasional indication that he may have been an out-right pedophile, makes it hard for me to feel much one way or another. After all, the man is dead.    
    • Probably more how I'm explaining it than interpreting it 🤣 I think I've interpreted what you have described, and explained that I'm not doing that, but incorrectly 🤷🏻‍♂️
