The putter most golfers are familiar with is the blade. It’s a timeless profile that’s been used nearly as long as golf has been a sport. Blade putters, in their more traditional format, generally have more control and accuracy on longer putts and faster greens. However, this controllability benefit comes with minor drawbacks such as being slightly less forgiving on miss-hits than the newer, more modern putter type, the mallet. Blade putters generally feature more toe hang weighting and are more ideal for moderate to maximum arc putting stroke types.
