Golf Putters | Reviews of Mallet & Blade Clubs

This is a strange-looking putter. Odyssey has taken a blade putter head and attached the putter shaft to the back of it. What the heck are they thinking?

Wait -- there is a method to their madness. The idea is twofold: 1) To increase your line of ...

Okay, let's get this out there right away. I'm a big Odyssey fan. I love their inserts, and their two-ball putter pretty much changed the game. To be honest, back when the 2 Ballers came out, I swore that you would "never see those stupid-looking things on the ...

These Odyssey people are really trying to make us better putters. Remember, they brought us a face insert that everybody loves and many other companies have tried to imitate. And likewise, this is the company that invented the two-ball putter, another incredibly successful ingenuity that many other brands ...

Here's a simple "no bells or whistles" blade putter. How can you not love this? Cleveland brings us this simpleton putter. And after looking at all the crazy mallet designs that are out on the market, you can almost hear the putter saying "stop whining ...

This Never Compromise X Ray Beta "Blade" putter is not exactly a blade. Perhaps they are trying to appeal to us purists who are not quite ready to give up our traditional blades yet. If you are ready, this is a good way to go.

This Never Compromise has ...

This is another beautiful Scotty Cameron Blade putter. You won't find a better feeling putter. It is very similar to the Newport, with the same putter head, only the neck is shorter and flared.

If you're not familiar with the Scotty Camerons, belly up to the bar and let ...

This Never Compromise Mallet putter has a huge MOI. They achieve this by using an extremely lightweight insert and putting all the meat in the rear and perimeter.

But the big selling point of this Ray Sigma is the "suspended face technology." On the face of the insert are ...

The itsy bitsy spider walked up the water spout… down fell the putts and knocked the wagers out. I like this Rossa Monza Itsy Bitsy Spider a whole lot more then its larger predecessor, the Rossa Monza Spider Putter. The smaller head is much easier to look ...

This is a good putter to go with if you've been shaking in your boots over those short putts. The big mallet has a high MOI that will fix some slight miscues and help get your confidence back. I like the alignment aid on this mallet as well ...

I've always liked this Rossie-style putter because it's smaller than those typical gargantuan mallets. I also really like the lines on the putter head for alignment. Most mallet putters don't have good alignment aids.

This Rossie Putter is part of Odyssey's new White Ice line. Touted as ...

It would seem Odyssey invented insert putters. This newest White Ice is the result of soliciting feedback from the tour pros. The pros are looking for responsiveness, resiliency, and consistency, and that is what Odyssey has very effectively constructed.

This W.I. #1 putter has a classic ...

"Welcome to the penthouse suite; please come in and enjoy the view."

Most golfers already know, if you are looking at something that has the name "Scotty Cameron" on it, you better be ready to part with a good amount of cash. But what are you really paying for? ...

‘Tis the season. Look, you know Hubby is going to come to the plate with diamond necklace and earrings. I've got the male equivalent right here.

This is a beautiful putter by TaylorMade and it's from their new line of Kia Ma. Kia Ma is an in-house craftsman for ...

Yuck! This is an ugly putter. "How ugly is it?" you ask. This putter is soooo ugly, when I brought it home, my cat tried to bury it! (Heyoooooo!)

Okay, enough silliness. There is one cool thing about this putter: it's adjustable. The claim ...

Here's TaylorMade Rossa Core Classic Lambeau putter. It's your classic heel shafted blade design. I'm not big on the huge mallet style putters, but prefer the blade style putter for its feel and feedback. This is a tour quality putter that has a tremendous feel and a traditional look.

The ...

Okay folks, this isn't kid stuff anymore -- you've stumbled across a beautiful tool designed for real players. Drum roll please??? It's Odyssey's White Hot Tour #1.

Let me talk a minute about what makes this club "Tour Quality." The White Hot Tour series features a bronzed tour finish ...

I love me a blade putter, and this is a beautiful specimen. It's Wilson's Staff 8861. This is the classic blade design and is Wilson's celebration of the old 8802. The 8802 (for you non-golf nerds) dates back to 1964 and was made famous by Arnold Palmer and later Ben ...

This is a gorgeous blade putter. It has that Tuscan nickel finish giving it a sleek look like a sports car. It has nice alignment aid -- a line drawn on the scooped-out blade. The best thing about it is TaylorMade's insert featuring 14 grooves positioned closer ...

I have trouble with the Odyssey putters. I know they are ridiculously popular. I know that several pros use them. I know that they are one of the top putters on golfers' wish lists.

I just don't know why I can't seem to putt them. Not even ...

They say "imitation is the purest form of flattery." If this is the case, then Odyssey Golf should be flattered by this Affinity Loop .001 Putter. It looks like a version of Odyssey's famous 2-ball putters.

Let's take a closer look. This is a heel shafted mallet putter with ...

These big mallet putters are getting out of hand. This putter to me looks like the head of "I, Robot." If I owned this putter, I would constantly be trying to talk to it as it stared at me from my golf bag. "What do you think, ...

This is an interesting-looking blade style putter. Odyssey has added alignment channels for stability and a higher MOI. It is heel-toe weighted with a "crank-neck" hosel and full-shaft offset. This is Odyssey's Crimson Series. The Crimson Series is very easy to recognize with the red (or ...

Here is a small mallet putter. It is from Odyssey's Crimson Series, which is very easy to distinguish with the red (or crimson) colored insert. The mallet has a slant neck hosel and is face balanced with a full shaft offset.

The insert in the Crimson Series Putters is very ...

This is a pretty cool center shafted blade putter. It's from Odyssey's White Hot Tour series. The White Hot Tour series features a bronzed tour finish which reduces glare. It has "tour-tuned" weight ports in the sole, which Odyssey uses to optimize the weight proportionally to the ...

This heel shafted mallet is very similar to the one that Phil Mickelson has played with on the PGA tour.

The White Hot Tour series features a bronzed tour finish which reduces glare. It has "tour-tuned" weight ports in the sole which Odyssey uses to optimize the weight proportionally to ...

This blade style putter is very similar to the Odyssey White Hot Black #2 that I've been playing with for years, only the Hot Tour series takes it to the next level.

The White Hot Tour series features a bronzed tour finish which reduces glare. It has "tour-tuned" weight ...

The Black Series #3 Putter is a sleek mallet. It is face-balanced with a double bend shaft and a full shaft offset. These Odyssey Black Series putters are beautiful creations. They are designed for more advanced players.

Let's take a look at some of the technology: The first thing ...

This putter looks like the fangs of a cobra. These Odyssey Black Series i putters are beautiful creations. They are designed for more advanced players.

Let's take a look at some of the technology: The first thing you will notice is the attractive nickel plated finish. It's pleasing ...

This putter is the ever popular 2-Ball putter, only Odyssey has sent the Black i to charm school. These Odyssey Black Series i putters are beautiful creations. These are designed for more advanced players.

Let's take a look at some of the technology: The first thing you will ...

"Scotty, I need more power!"

This putter looks just like the spaceship from the TV show Star Trek. Odyssey dropped the ball with the name. They should have called it the White Hot XG SS Enterprise.

Let's take a gander. This is a 2-Ball putter with a little "flare." Wings ...

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? Is this putter a blade or a mallet? These are the questions I will address in the blog.

First of all, let's take a look at this 2-ball "whats-a-ma-jigger." The putter face is a blade, but it has 2 ...

This putter looks more like a weapon than a golf club. Keep it handy when walking back to your car on a dark night.

These huge teeth that jet off of the putter face of this Sabertooth Putter are designed to raise the MOI. This huge mallet will certainly be incredibly stable. ...

What's going on with these crazy shaped putters? This one looks like a spaceship from the movie Star Wars, or a big a huge staple. The funky shape is designed to pull all the weight to the back of the putter. This gives the Teron Putter ...

I love the racing stripes on this putter! It shouldn't be called the Marxman; it should be called the "Dale Earnhardt!"

Let's take a closer look. This is a big ol' half-moon-shaped mallet putter with incredible alignment aids running the length of the mallet. It's from Odyssey's Hot ...

Here's a cute little chipper. It's not really a wedge, and it certainly isn't a putter. Why it's a "Wudger!"

This club is very similar to the Odyssey White Hot XG Marxman Putter, only they've added some loft to the club to get the ball in the air quicker ...

I enjoy reviewing these White Hot Tour putters from Odyssey. The bronze color is easy on the eyes. Actually, that's the reason Odyssey made it this darker color -- to eliminate glare.

I really like this Rossie Putter because the small mallet design gives me better feel than ...

I complained and complained about the 2-Ball putter not having a line on in it, and lo and behold I find this Odyssey White Hot XG 2-Ball Lined Standard Putter. Now this is a 2-Baller I can get behind!

The 2-ball putters started the big mallet putter craze some time ago. ...

Do you dip your big toe in the shallow end of the pool, or do you just dive right into the deep end? I'm pretty sure Odyssey designed this putter for guys like me: "Toe-Dippers."

This putter is a hybrid of a blade putter and a 2-ball putter. In ...

When I'm "rolling the rock" well, I usually have a sharp blade in my hand.

I'm in "like" with this putter. (It's almost love; we just need a few more dates.) Although I sometimes play the mallets, the blade putters are my first love. Here's a beauty ...

This is your basic 2-Ball putter that Odyssey is known for. When it came out this was one of the most popular putters ever. The big appeal was the large forgiving clubhead and the 2 balls made for easy alignment.

This putter is from Odyssey's White Hot XG line. ...

This is a pretty cool center-shafted blade putter. It's from Odyssey's White Hot Tour series.

The White Hot Tour series features a bronzed tour finish which reduces glare. It has "tour-tuned" weight ports in the sole, which Odyssey uses to optimize the weight proportionally to the shaft length.

Of course, ...

I'm drooling now. Sorry. This is a problem I have when I look at a stunning putter.

The Odyssey Black Series i #6 is a tour-quality putter. As blades go, it doesn't really get much better than this. Where do I start?

Looking down at the putter head at address, ...

Uh-oh! I think the execs over at Odyssey are reading my blogs. They must be, because a few weeks ago I was complaining about how their 2-ball putters don't have a line on them for an alignment aid. I even talked about how I had tried ...

This is a big ol' mallet style putter from Odyssey. This putter looks like a claw or an ice ax. Just carry it with you the next time you climb a glacier. Then stroke a few putts at the summit.

The putter head is from Odyssey's White Hot ...

If you had wing, had wings, had wings…

Here's a putter you don't see every day. It has wings, and is one of those long putters -- you know the ones. You hold the top steady at your chest and swing the putter with your lower hand. It's not ...

Here's an interesting looking mallet style putter. It's pretty basic, and by basic I mean bland, dull, boring and simple. Other than that, I love it.

I got a kick out of this: Under "Product Features" on Amazon, it just says "Brand new in box." That's it. ...

Here's an interesting-looking putter from Nike. (Those of you who read me frequently have figured out when I say "interesting," it's always my euphemism for "ugly.") Let's take a look at this interesting-looking putter.

The Nike Oz #3 is a mallet style heel-shafted putter. The putter has dual site ...

"Bigger is better" seems to be the philosophy these days when it comes to golf technology. If Odyssey's Two-Ball Putter is good, well the Odyssey Tri-Ball is better. Why are we messing around just adding another ball... let's just cut right to the 8-Ball putter! Now that's a ...

This is a real futuristic-looking mallet putter. It makes sense because it comes with some cutting-edge technology.

Standard with Rife putters, you get the RollGroove Technology. The RollGroove Technology consists of sharp, closely-spaced horizontal grooves. The golf ball stays on the face longer at impact, allowing Rife to make ...

I sometimes refer to clubs as beautiful or pretty. No, this isn't because I have no life or no girlfriend, and thus I have love for inanimate objects. However, I will say I'll match a beautiful putter like this one up against some sexy calendar girl any day.

Let's ...
