Recommend me a putter model: CS, mid-mallet, round, symmetric, not ugly

[MelloYello]

I'm looking to try a center-shaft putter but explicitly want to find a mid-mallet like Lydia's custom Scotty GSS shown below. 

 

 

- I do not want flanges (like the Ping Tyne C models)

- I do not want non-symmetric shapes (like the Scotty GoLo)

- I don't want crazy graphics (Odyssey versa-type white/black)

As an experiment it's tough to beat the Maltby Pure Track CS.  Can be built for $100 and is a fantastic feeling  head.  It's Carbon Steel milled head   The only drawback for some is it's a heavy head.  But you could counterbalance it.

Wow, thanks!

 

That looks like a great option.

Ping DS72 perhaps?

Cleveland Huntington Beach #6 

 

Seemore has quite a few similar models to choose from

HB6 is dead sexy.

 

I have gamed a Rife Barbados for years and they will either bury me with it or pry it from my cold dead hands.  If I never knew the Barbados I would go to the HB6.  Other options would be Scotty Cameron Golo S5 or the classic Cleveland 5.5.

Maybe a SeeMore?

Its amazing how much a simple perpendicular line that you wished werent there in the beginning, ends up being the most important alignment line.

Odyssey #5 CS is another option. There’s one in almost every line, even if you have to buy some of them from Asia. Also the V-Line CS from the Stroke Lab range looks nice to me.

That Cleveland at the end isn't the stock finish though, right? 

 

I love that look! That's exactly what I'd buy if it were available.

Yeah, I actually bought one after @achappy  made the recommendation. It looks about perfect for what I was imagining!

 

How long do they normally take to arrive, any idea?

Yeah, stock finish.  I just stripped the paint from the sightline.

I’m in PA and mine came within a few days. I just got the head though. If you got a full putter I’d imagine a day or two for shipping depending on location they come from Ohio.

Hit the used websites like 2nd Swing and get a Ping G2 C67. 
Heavy enough feeling head to be relevant today.
Put on a Ping PP58 midsize for a good feeling in your hands.  

 A touch of offset and no insert; welcome to drain-o land. 
Seriously, this is a really good, albeit old, center shaft putter. The Cleveland HB 6 mentioned by another poster is a solid putter.

For what you want, gotta go custom. 

 

Other option that doesn't 100% fit what you want, Makefield TF. Maybe see if they can do a CS without the flange line.

Yup.  They can do that.
