Old Blade Putters

I found an old blade putter in a used club bin and tried it out at the store and course last week. I was floored by the feel of the old putter for distance control. I normally use a Two-Ball blade putter but this old blade putter has supplanted the two-ball in my bag for now. I think Ben Crenshaw and occasionally Phil Mickelson use blade putters.

Does anyone else use blade putters?

This one is stamped Arnold Palmer AP30R. Does anyone know when this putter was made or any other details about it?

Thanks.

I saw one here http://www.solu.net/barry/putters.htm for $150 with a signature stamp on it.

No idea about when it was made though.

i was thinking about getting one because i can putt good with my 3 iron but instead i got a mallet, like it too though but yeah distance on long putts is a little harder to judge with a mallet

be interested to see what a mallet putter looks like?... have ya got a picture.

a mallet putter is like the Two-Ball putter, pretty much every putter other than blade putter

The putter I use is a blade from when I started Golfing at an age of seven (34 years ago). I wouldn't change it for anything. The feel of the ball is fantastic.

I use a Cleveland 'designed by' blade putter. The only way to get me to change would to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

I dumped my Ping G2i after tried my dad's old Titleist Acushnet Bull's Eye. The soft feel..make me more confident
