choosing the right putter to stay with?

I have 2 putters ....one is a mallet and the other is a blade type ( Newport-compatible)

the mallet....I quite choon as in I can catch the line intended...but lagging is not good

the blade....I not as choon to catch line intended but more comfortable with lagging....ie min 3 putt

which one should I stick with for better or worse?

A bladey mallet?

Can bring both right?

Or you can use mallet but look at the target while lagging. Just imagine you are using blade.

Also at a dilemma. Not sure which type of putter is suitable.

Bro DS, I'm facing the very same dilemma. I may opt to go back to Abbie, you know. Right now, it's a toss-up between Abbie and the Ghost.

you mentioned u only have 13 clubs, so bring 2 putters, one for lagging the other for scoring.

Make practice putts at home in pitch darkness with both putters ... hopefully one of them will feel better ... after that it should just be an alignment issue

I think u should use the putter that:
1) gives u the most confidence
2) suited to ur putting stroke

Whether u make more putts on one doesn't matter, practice more then. It's confidence that matters

Depends on ur stroke:
Straight back straight thru stroke - mallet
Slight arc - blade

Thanks for the advice. Guess need to practice more to find out which is more suitable.

go to a shop with a putting green, and thick skin a bit, practise with the putters...got so many different styles.....can even try the Scottys..you may be surprise that u dont like them.

take the mallet and adjust the weight.

or buy a semi blade/mallet

Ha nor.... If Phil Mickelson can bring 2 drivers to choose draw or fade, surely DS can bring 2 putters

as you said lah, chip closer. then no need to lag putt (and use the "tour" putter)

In my country, there's a Filipino Golf Pro playing on Asian Tour who uses two putter. His name is Artemio Murakami, a half Japanese - Filipino golf professional

A Mallet putter for fast green and a blade putter for medium fast green

As long as your clubs are 14, you can bring two Putter

I am done with being an average golfer....fm now on, I will start dreaming of being a better golfer.....

Hence, I try to increase my GIR.....but likely will be miles away fm hole...

i think you just need more practice with the 'zhun' putter to develop feel for distance control

why not come earlier before a game and practice lor

putting mat at home doesn't count

May I ask what is a lag putt? What is the different?
