i had the white hot rossie mallet and really hated it in the long run. Just bought a never compromise gm2 exchange #5 blade putter and i frikin love it. I feel so much more confident with this putter. It is extremely easy to line up and is nice and heavy.

I am not much for a really heavy putter. Just not my style.

I like the look and setup of the blade putter, but i use a mallet because i like putter with more weight on it and mallets always have the best feel for me when judging distance.

I've had a blade forever and just switched to a TM Monza Corza, and I've sank more long putts with that putter than I ever did with the blade.

Increasingly, I see people using mallet putters. Yet, producers such as Cameron, Mills, etc., continue to turn out variations of the classic blade putters along with mallets. Which do you use and why?

I putt with the Yes! Marilyn which works best for my putting style.

Regarding blades: I have a SC Newport 2 which is not working for me. I liked the Nike Unitized Tiempo for the feel and sound. The TM Ross AGSI+ Daytona 1 is nice but I don't like insert faces.

    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
