Is there one you putt well from all situations and distances? Or does one work well for some putts and the other for different putts?
Mallet vs blade?
I dont jive with blade putters, except for an occasional round with the #1W.
Mallets just are my preferred style, and work well for me.

Mallet in general, my center shafted mid mallet in particular. Great putter.
I tend to prefer the blade (wide blade/1.5/double wide) overall compared to mallets. In look and result. This year had been interesting changing that up a bit.
I’m putting well with a Mallet. So I’m team Mallet.
I like both. I think I putt better from distance with a blade and make more short ones with a mallet

Mallets are vomit inducing. That's all.

I lag better with blade but like mallet 6 feet and in. Rarely stay with a mallet for long but I want to try one again.
I tend to be pretty steadily a mallet guy. I haven’t used a blade in years.
I’m a mallet guy. I like the alignment the most.

As long as I can hit a straight putt with it, that putter works for me.
I've used both blades and mallets with good results. Currently I'm using a mallet style.

Of all the things I've tried, I've probably struggled most with center shafted.
Near to center was alright (SeeMore).
You and I could be the complete opposites of golfers.

That’s what I’m using now and never putted better.
A bigger blade?
Basic requirement is that it must fit in a blade headcover

I love a good blade. Classic shape, super clean. Sometimes I putt ok with them.
Full mallet? I like an Odyssey #7.
Mid Mallet, give me a Cleveland #11S. My gamer most of the season, and am really grooved with it.

Blade for over 40 years but have been strictly with mallets for the past 1.5 years with no plans to go back to a blade on a regular basis.

For ages I was a Newport style blade user. That changed with a Futura 7M and an ensuing slew of mallet putters. Recently took a Squareback 2 out on a test drive. I found my stroke had a more natural flow to it. No matter what style putter I use, hitting my line and speed has been pretty solid. I always felt my stroke fought a face balanced or near face balanced but results were good so I literally just rolled with it. The Squareback 2 has restored a fluidity to my putting stroke with no loss of performance.
