The next time you attend a professional golf event or watch the best players in the world battle it out on television, keep a close eye on what putters are being used. There has been a significant shift happening over the past decade or so, with mallet putters quickly outnumbering traditional blade putters.
Nowhere is this trend more evident than at the top of the Official Golf World Rankings right now, where on the men’s side, four of the top five in the world are using a mallet-style putter. The women's world number one, Nelly Korda, and both the men’s number one and two, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, have all made the switch to the TaylorMade Spider Tour putters within the last couple of years and have achieved a level of dominance unseen since Tiger Woods was in his prime.
