Scotty Newport 2.5, not custom fit. Previously had a Ping which was custom fit bent about 6 degrees flat, have subsequently learnt to putt with my hands a bit higher so as not to need it as flat tho think a degree or two flatter than it currently is may be optimal for me
 
Scotty Red X. Should be too long at 35" but feels right.
Always used mallets of some shape or form as I can feel the toe swinging round on an Anser style putter.
Not custom fit.

Interesting read as to why you should be custom fit for a putter.

That article explains exactly what I was talking about the other day on the "Putting Etiquette" topic. Being able to see the line of the putt (the aim point), and being able to address with the club face square to that line - I still reckon this is the number #1 issue in putting.

The number of times I've seen playing partners line up to putts which I (as a spectator viewing from a different angle) can clearly is aligned wrong! Standing above the ball and making the club face 90degrees to the intended line is not the easy part in putting.

Of course it isn't easy, it's practically impossible and I wouldn't mind betting that most players return the club back to the ball at a different angle than they addressed it. But I still maintain you can't make it scientific and if you try you will putt worse. Find a method that is comfortable for you and practice, don't worry about angles and geometry and don't over think it. If you try to force the ball on a perfect line and a perfect angle you will be there a very long time.
 
I've got a Mizuno / Bettinardi BC 3 in play. It's been there for last two seasons and not likely to shift anytime soon :D

It wasn't custom fit.

Think I even managed to assist Happless get his for about half price from sunny Aberdeen if I remember right ;)
 
I needed more than one option as it depends if the one in the bag is working. I went for Ping as the Anser is doing OK at the moment but I've an odyssey white ice #9 and a TM Rossa (Daytona - blade) on standby
 
The link that talks about aim bias etc is great, I thoroughly enjoyed reading that, so thanks to whoever posted that.

I have just, today infact, ordered the Odyssey White Ice F7 2 ball putter, which should arrive by the weekend. I'm really looking forward to that. Prior to that Ive been using the Wilson pro staff one I got with my set last year.
 
odyssey 2 ball white hot as seen below. White hot to start with a few years ago, for some reason cooling off a bit at the moment :(
Thinking of trying the white hot XG7 "Fang" to see if I can putt as well as Luke with it. :p
