I know many people say mallets are better than blades. I got the bright idea today to play a mallet instead of my preferred blade. Let’s just say I won’t make that mistake again. I was terrible with speed control.

I've done the same! I've played a blade since I started golfing. Bought a mallet on a whim and putted well with it for one round so I decided to take it in to a scramble tournament the next day. Worst day of putting I've had and I sold it to a buddy the next day. I'm always down to try new things but that one wasn't it When you know, you knowI know many people say mallets are better than blades.

Speed control has nothing to do with head shape
Well that’s the odd thing, my usual putt count is 30-32. I had no reason to change.I have played a mallet my whole life and am scared to try a blade lol. I have generally been a decent putter so have never considered venturing out! I wonder what statistics say about putts per round correlated to type of putter head.

Well in this case I think the loft at impact is off for me, my delivery of it anyway. After a bit I started putting with some shaft lean which corrected the distance issue. Unfortunately I had a tough time hitting my line while doing that.Speed control has nothing to do with head shape
Yeah I’d recommend a fitting. I’m pretty sure this one is just not for me. Had I been fit i may have a different experience.I have always played a blade but am looking to get a mallet to play a few rounds with and see how I do. A putter fitting is high on my list this year.
As you mentioned I think it’s a comfort thing. I like the look and feel of the blade.I’ve tried few mallet style putter. I know I need as much as forgiveness as possible so I keep trying. End of the day I always come back to SC 1.5. I guess I had this putter so long it just feels comfortable.
I’ll be trying Toulon Chicago soon. It suppose to be more forgiving than 1.5 so will see. Like other said I had tough time judging distance with it. Same goes with insert putter. Tried Ardmore few weeks and it was worst putting I’ve had.
My strengths in putting is distance control. If I lose that part of the game I am done golfing. My buddy uses old 2 ball putter and he’s one of the best putter I’ve seen. We all have choices.

It’s not the first but it’s been a while. I like a blade so it’s easy for me to go back.I wouldn't give up on anything that broad based on one experience.
I'm going to make my version of popcorn and get ready for some of the responses here though.
Yeah, I don't have one. Lol I didn't realize how much I don't have one until the wife and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out what that would be. She decided it's nuts.It’s not the first but it’s been a while. I like a blade so it’s easy for me to go back.
What’s your version of popcorn? I’d have to go with pistachios.
I’ve always been curious about a double wide. Not sure why since I actually putt pretty well with what I have. I think it’s just the thought of buying something new. That’s actually how I ended up with the #7.I've nearly always played a blade style, I can get along OK with some compact mallets but larger ones definitely are not that appealing to me. Either way I like 1/4 toe hang. I do like shapes like the Chicago, BB8W, QB8 slant neck, that are sort of a hybrid blade with more junk in the trunk.
