Which type of putter should you be playing, the Mallet or Blade style?
During this video I’m going to explain the main differences between each design of putter and what you should consider when looking to purchase a new club.
Moment of Inertia (resistance to twist on off center strikes) is massive when it comes to pace control but having a putter that appeals to your eye is equally important. Go through the process outlined in this video to understand more about design and discover which model would be more suited to your game.

Answer: what fills you with the most confidence… putting is primarily a confidence skill. If you lack confidence your putting will lack regardless of equipment.

To an extent… but if you get on SAM and get fit, you’ll know where your putter is aiming at setup. Which in turn will build confidence. You can be confident all day, but if your putter doesn’t match your stroke, you ain’t making putts unless you’re lucky

I always have 2 putters in rotation a mallet and blade for me it's the bend and feel. Ps the old school spider is by far the best putter I've ever rolled and you can customize how ever you want for under 300 bucks. Another thing I never expected but after a long time playing the ball really makes a difference in how a putter feels.

Great info and advice on what we should be looking for in a putter and why. The putter fittings have come a long way and I just had one done for my new TM Spider tour. I recommend doing a putter fitting. You find out a lot with the fitting and now I see the benefits. My alignment is so much better and I find myself with more consistency and confidence on the putting green. Thanks Trottie

I went from a mallet with a solid single line to a blade with a solid single line and instantly became a way better putter. The alignment improved dramatically and my ability to understand how much touch and power was required improved dramatically. It’s funny tho because I feel like most of the time it’s the other way around.

If you want the best performace, always the most forgiving putter, the rest is just mental gymnastics.

@BA-kp1us 16 күн бұрын

Ironically I see a lot of the pros and cons you describe when I test - eg mallet more forgiving, better distance control, alignment But…despite trying many mallets - I always come back to the blade….simply because I make more putts - I feel I align better, can hit breaking putts better, hit different length putts better including off fringe or fairway and just generally more confident and gain more feel which drives the confidence higher - so unlike ALOT of other areas in golf - putting is a feel and confidence thing - caveat that I consider myself a good putter and really that’s the most telling trend I see - the best putters seem to prominently use blades (Tiger, Speith, Faxon, etc) and lots of great golfers (ball strikers) who are mediocre putters (Scheffler, Rahm, DJ) tend to use mallets

You're never going to have consistency if you're constantly switching putters. Find something you like and stick with it. Obviously you have to like how it rolls the ball but I think it has more to do with length and if you can stand to look at it. Let's be honest here, putter technology doesn't change no matter how much they want us to think it does. If it ain't broke dont fix it, of you're rolling in putts with a $20 putter from Walmart why drop 3 bills on a Scotty.
