Anybody using multiple alignment aids on a blade (like top and flange line)?

[KParks]

Curious if anybody is gaming any putters (blades in particular) with multiple alignment aids on the same putter.

 

Specifically I'm thinking about getting a blade setup with both a flange and a topline. I'm thinking the idea is that if you have both you want them to make one continuous line and that should indicate that your eyes are actually over the putter and straight down the line?

 

I think Patrick Reed does this with his? (top line has paint fill and flange line doesn't I believe). Say what you will about some of his antics, you can't deny that he putts lights out.

My incoming Kevin Burns putter is going to have a top and flange line like this:

beautiful! love that small plumber / large slant neck (or whatever you would call it). 
 

have you tried that alignment style before?

Mine is going to be different just use the pic to show alignment. 

 

I haven't done an alignment like this before, will work fine for me and if I don't like it will remove the paint on the top line.

My two Anser X putters have different lines (one on the topline the other on the flange), but I've always wanted to have one on the topline and two (ball-width apart) on the flange...

My custom Scotty (that is currently for sale) has multiple alignment aides.

 

More aides the better IMO.

Trying this out by adding my own sight down to the flange line and I seem to like it much better. 
 

I tried the flange line then tried doing sight dot by covering the flange line. But always felt something was missing on aiming. With both seems to aim more consistently (at least on PuttOut mat...haven’t tried on an actual green yet)

I don't set up with my eyes directly over the ball, but rather just inside. I use a Ping Shea H Scottsdale with just a line on the flange and I love the confidence it gives me in lining up. But I am not crazy about the feel of the insert, and so I am always looking at other heel shafted mallets, including a Shea H Sigma. Instead of a flange line it just has a short dash on the top line. I tried drawing in a line on the flange and realized that in order to make the top line dash line up with the flange line, I had to have the latter just a little further towards the toe, since my eyes were looking down at slightly more than 90*. It took some trial and error, but I eventually got it in the right spot...only to learn that I really prefer the black with white line on the flange of the Scottsdale.

I'm wanting an 009 with a site dot and double flange line about the width of the ball. Not seen one yet, and would probably have to have custom shop do it when they start offering restorations again. Think they just sold a triple flange line that looked pretty unique but the guys on facebook and ebay use bots to grab those up as soon as they drop now.

That 009M with the triple flange? Yeah that was nice I want to try a triple flange out probably on something cheaper.
