I have a Scotty Red X mallet and i love it.. also rifes are amazing.. IMO mallets are much easier to putt with

 

[nickolas_j_t 10+ year member]

They are, but harder to get the speed right.

wow... this has helped me more than anything in this entire thread.. TY for the heavily inciteful post.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

What makes the blades more difficult to hit?

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

To me, I have to help push the blade through the ball some. Where with a mallet, it mainly moves itself due to the inertia. All I really have to do it pull it back and keep it in a smooth line.

Thats right. The mallets have more weight and more MOI. It kind of just flows in your hands, but they are harder to control (more pushes and pulls) and harder to get the distance right. Blade FTW. Tiger uses a blade...

Ive been reading up and searching the net on putters.. And a TON of ppl suggest Ping... Also saying that titleist and scotty cameron , copied the design of a $100 ping anser with just a few minor adjustments threw on a cameron name and put it on the market for 4x as much.. this true?

question.. some malletts i tried were much lighter than blades, but it does make sense in a way tho.. With the mallett having the weight behind the ball more would give you a "through the ball" hit, while the blade seems to be dead weight at the end of the shaft that seems like it wouldnt follow through the ball as well

here is one quote i got

Ping all the way! If they are good enough for the likes of Scotty Cameron and Yes to copy then they must be pretty good? It is said that when Tiger got sponsored by Titelist all those years ago he didn't want to give up his Ping Anser, but was told he had to so Scotty Cameron copied it exactly only adding a little weight and called it the Newport.

 

[nickolas_j_t 10+ year member]

Yes, ALL (except most mallets) Titleist Camerons are Ping replicas. Pings are awesome putters.
