So what's the difference between a blade putter and a mallet putter and which is better? Well first, there isn't a better one. The best putter is the one that feels comfortable to you. It's the one you sink putts with, that makes you confident and the one that works. If that's a blade, great; but if it's a mallet then that's great too.

But first let's look at the differences between the two. A blade putter tends to be lighter and the shaft goes right into the heel. It has more of a slender, bar shaped putter head that has a consistent thickness from the toe of the putter to the heel of the putter.

A mallet head putter is an elongated putter(mallet shaped/semi-circle) with a lot of mass behind the ball. And because of the size of the mallet, it may be easier to keep the face square to the ball.

I personally prefer a mallet. It just seems to hit the ball more succinctly and moves it more smoothly toward the hole. But it's just a personal preference and everyone seems to have their own.

To determine the right putter or putters for you, you're going to need to try them for yourself. (I know it's a dirty job, but I'm sure you're up to the task. If not, just get them both. Most people have several putters in their bag.) Get a great putter and a great deal here at The Golf Caddy.
