Watch: Art of Putting - Shape

Now that was one minute of a truly informative lecture on shape and path.. Thank you.

Interesting perspective. Not something I had taken into consideration before.

Mid Mallet for me. Finally got fit and found the GoLo 6 fits me best...

Great video and very informative. Thanks

This is interesting as I didn't realize there were so many factors going into putter head designs. I have tried a couple of Phantoms, looking to gain some stability and forgiveness. I never felt comfortable with them (gave them more than a fair trial on the course), but ended up coming back to a Studio Stainless 2.7. I seem to make more putts with this tool than the Phantoms. The Phantom 6S has an aluminum face, and I found that to be a bit too soft and thus not providing enough feel or auditory feedback, so I tried a newer 5. This has more feedback, but I still don't feel I make any more putts (nor being better at lag putts) than with the 2.7. Maybe I just am more comfortable with the more angular/rectangular shape of a Newport style blade.

Love basic traditional blade lines. I use a Newport 2
.
The profile of the toe helps me see if I turn it on the takeaway easier than a larger head putter.
The futuristic head putters as a friend calls them, distract my vision.

I look at the hole trace my putting line back to the ball then putt once I get there.
So smaller simpler lines are a huge preference for me.
