What Pro's are using Blade Putters?

[Ace In The Hole]

And what kinds are they using??

So I thought it would be a cool post to see what pro's are using blade putters, and what type of blades they are using. I am talking true blades, like the SC Napa Valley, Ping Tess, putters like that.

Last I saw, Shaun Micheel was using a Taylormade blade and Jerry Kelly was using a YES! blade. Pat Perez was also using a blade for a bit last year, but I think hes back to a more face balanced model.

[Ace In The Hole]

Ok, but what models, I assume for the Taylor made it would be an Imola, but what #??

[primetimer006]

actually for a few weeks Micheel was using a Bettinardi Blade

[RobotDoctor]

primetimer06, any chance to see the Tour Blade Prototype on tour? I really like this putter and would love to have one but my financial portfolio .... well, you know the story. :drinks:

Phil Mickelson uses some Oydessy prototype blade putter I think

[Ace In The Hole]

Bettinardi Blade ???

David Toms games an Imola.

Phil Mickelson - Odyssey XG9

Jerry Kelly and Jean Van De Velde - Yes Sophia

Miguel Angel Jimenez - Ping Tess (sometimes)

 

Obviously Ben Crenshaw switches between a 8802 and a Cleveland 'Designed By' blade.

 

Those are the ones that I know.

[***BullsEye***]

Corey Pavin was using a brass Titleist Bullseye at the Byron Nelson.

[bgolfing]

I think Lucas Gloves uses a SC balde, possibly the Napa Valley

[Seve424]

There were a couple of guys using blades in the Masters bag pics.

 

One is an Adams staffer with a Designed by, and the other has an 8802. One of these may be Crenshaw's, but I'm not sure.

I know he's not a touring pro... but Butch Harmon uses a Bullseye Flange...

[Montrove]

Now would this be considered a blade?

Seeing that photo makes me wonder what Zinger was thinking. :bigwhack:

[mat562]

He did play that putter for a while, but common sense prevailed by the USPGA and he won with his old Ping Anser.

 

What was it called...? 'The Thing..?'

[villa]

Correct, it was called the Thing. He picked it up in a pro shop and fell in love.

 

I was under the impression that he won the USPGA with it as well but I could well be wrong.

[Seve424]

Purdy was using a blade (I'm assuming it's a Tess) at the Memorial.

 

Was Riegger using one in his Nationwide win?

[Joe Duffer]

Purdy was using a blade (I'm assuming it's a Tess) at the Memorial.

 

Was Riegger using one in his Nationwide win?

 

Yes, John had what looked like an old Wilson 8802 or Palmer Designed by in his bag.

 

He made a GREAT 15 footer to win on the 72nd hole !!

 

Congratulations John Riegger !!

I'm pretty sure that is Bernard Langer's bag with the "Designed By" and Adams headcovers.
