Have played blade putters all my life. Experimented several times with a variety of mallets (some of the best) but could never adjust. Great on short putts but could never find one that provided the feel I was seeking on long lag putts. Just too welding. Tried this model in a golf store and immediately felt it was somehow different. The wide alignment line works really well. After two rounds I can say this thing is amazing. The balance of the hybrid weighted shaft really helps, and the feel off the hinged insert face has a nice firm click, not too soft (always hated insert putters). Takes some adjustment coming off a blade but just seems to simplify the process of accurate putting. Great face balanced putter if you have a straight back - straight through stroke. Replaced my Cameron Studio immediately.
