How do you decide whether to use a blade or mallet putter? :mmm:
I can putt rubbish with both of them!

2 main options, whichever suits your eye and you feel suits you best or get a fitting to see what type of putter best suits your stroke

You go for a fitting.
I gt fitted for my Scotty and it wasn't anything like what I "thought" I needed

I had a blade and lost confidence in it which really affected my putting. I now use a mallet (Rossie) but didn't choose it as the opposite to the blade, I went and tried loads of different kinds and chose the one that felt best, gave best results and therefore greatest confidence.
So I'm sorted until that confidence wanes...

Sounds like that will be quite soon!

Nah... It's chicken and egg. The confidence will stay high while the putts are still dropping and the putts will still drop while the confidence is high.
Putting Zen, if you like.

Yes I have a Rossie as well...seems likr this is my go to putter. I flirt occasionally with a Scotty Newport and #1 Black series Oddy blades which I do like.
Its just I would like to know what my putter action would suit best. So should I stick to the one or flit around to what I fancy the most that day?!

I think it's down to getting a consistent stroke, then the putter suits (which was my big problem). As I say, I went and tried loads, was there for ages to try and get consistency in my stroke and then found the Rossie to be the best fit for me. And it seems to be working so far, as long as I don't change my putting stroke (which I am working hard at).

I think my putting stroke changes with every putt! :mmm:
Ah... that could be problematic... I've heard that the V-Easy is revolutionary in that space.

Did someone call?
It is true that people prefer different types of putter, whether its the style of head, the weight, the insert etc but it still boils down to making a consistent stroke.
And if you have too many moving parts affecting the putt, consistency will be lost.
I like a blade myself. I think it easier to putt from off the green with a milled face putter as well, esp on a links course.
I prefer the in to in stroke that works well with a blade i believe!

And there was me rushing to read your thread in the forlorn hope that you would say something like...'you are a great putter'!

I currently use a Ping Redwood D66 milled blade but have a 2 ball coming. I putted really well yesterday but was on quicker greens. I will see how the 2 ball does at my place as I find I struggle with their slowness with the Ping.
