Traditional heel shafted blade putter

[tmac7592]

So after a lot of work on my stroke and some testing i have found the heel shafted putter to be the best fit for me. I was suing a tmag tpa x but i cant find one for myself. so what else is out there on the market with a similar look. i was thinking the yes sophia but i dont see any other options. i really cant afford a napa so thats out of the question. any help would be great and i want to avoid mallets like the xg 9

i too love the traditional heel shafted putters and ever since i bought my Louisville Golf 2500 putter, i have stopped switching putters every 2-3 rounds. Ive had it in my bag for over 6 months now...AND THATS A RECORD FOR ME!... I think it is 330 grams (not sure), but check out Louisville Golfs website. Its an awesome feeling putter IMO...And the Yes! Sophia is an awesome putter as well, but twice the cost....

Well give the Sophia some good consideration. I had one for a while and loved it, but I just sold it to purchase a different putter. They also have the Nicky, but I haven't been able to try that one yet.

 

I think Rife is coming out with a pretty sweet looking blade soon called the Bimini:

If you really want to go cheap, Maxfli has a blade putter:

I got a custom BL-8 from Chip Usher and believe it was around $350. That includes stamping, finish, HC and grip. It's a tribute putter to my wife and our wedding day.

Have you tried a heel shafted mallet like the Newport 3? I really like mine as it allows me to add or remove weight and just feels more stable than a heel shafted blade. I started with an old Odyssey 882 heel shafted blade and now I have a few in my collection lol. The old MacGregor IMG 05 is a nice more squared off shaped head and can be picked up cheaply but all are very light in weight and I prefer a heavier head.

Going custom is always an option if you know the specs of what you need. Kari Lajosi makes wonderful heel shafted blades plus the Aussie $ to USD (0.77) exchange rate helps.

Love the look of that putter and great price point for what you get too.

I really wanted a BL-360 but he didn't have them at that time.

I mean at his prices why not pick one up when he does if you have the means to.
