There are three main types of putter heads: blade, mallet, and toe hang. Each type has its own unique benefits that can help improve your game.
Blade putters have a smaller head and are typically more forgiving than mallet putters. Mallet putters have a larger head and are designed to provide more stability through the stroke. Toe Hang putters have a toe-weighted design that helps to create more torque on the clubhead. Golfers with a strong putting stroke usually favor this type of putter.
In recent weeks on the PGA Tour, there has been an increased use of new putters with toe hang, including Scotty Cameron, Odyssey, and TaylorMade. The designs of these clubs vary, but they all share one common trait – they place more weight in the toe than in the heel.
This change in weight distribution is intended to help golfers with a “slight toe-hang” putting stroke, which is when your hands are slightly ahead of the clubhead at impact.
If you have a slight toe hang putting stroke and are looking for a new putter, be sure to try out some clubs with toe hang! You may find that this design helps you make more consistent putts on the course.
