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.

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

      Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad.

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
