It's time to get the putter blood flowing. Over the next five days, I will be revealing the contestants for this year's Most Wanted Mallet Putter.

 

We have 24 putters from some big name, and some small name companies. These putters truly come in all shapes and sizes.

 

It's time to pick your favorites!

Day 2 REVEAL!

Today we have four more contenders for MyGolfSpy's Golf's Most Wanted Mallet!

 

Day 2 Reveal-B.jpg

 

Only four you ask?

 

Did I skip one?

 

I did actually skip one. Don't worry, I did it on purpose. There is a story behind that one that I want to save until later. 

 

Mystery!  Drama!  Intrigue!

 

All that and the following four putters!

Day 3 Contestant REVEAL

We have four six more mallets for your perusal today, and there is some wacky in there.

 

Odyssey and Ping duke it out for the most atypical design of the day.

 

Anyone roll these yet? Favorites?

 

Did you roll the Ketsch?

 

Liar!!!!!

 

It doesn't release until April. How cool it is that we have one in the mix!

Day 4 Contestant REVEAL

Day 4b Reveal.jpg

 

We have another diverse batch of mallets for Day 4, including another newcomer to the Golf's Most Wanted arena: Piretti Golf. I love seeing the little guy make good. Stenson was a huge boost for them last year. Personally, I miss seeing the Piretti bag on tour.

 

SeeMore has another two Rifle Scope Tech entries this year, with the big long daddy from TaylorMade letting us know that the "m" in mallet is short for massive.

 

Piretti Bosa

Come back tomorrow for the final five, including that sneaky omission in the upper right corner. ;)

Day 5 REVEAL

Day 5 Reveal-b.jpg

 

Here we have the last of the 2014 Golf's Most Wanted Mallet competitor ranks:

 

TaylorMade Spider Mallet

Wilson Staff Vizor Level 2 M4

Wilson Staff Vizor Level2 #4-1.jpg

 

 

What about the one that was skipped? Well, here it is:

 

Cleveland Smart Square

Cleveland Smart Square-1.jpg

 

Cleveland was not very happy with the way that the Smart Square was covered on MyGolfSpy when it released, but rather than just refusing to work with us, they sent in an entry to show just how much they believe in the putter's performance. 

 

I applaud Cleveland Golf with both hands, and would clap more hands if I had them. If you believe in your product, put it up against the best in the field and show us all how great it is. Well done Cleveland, we couldn't be happier that you chose to participate.

 

Tune in Monday to the blog for the whole contestant run-down and more info about the test.

 

The 2014 Golf's Most Wanted Mallet winner will be announced next week!

This should be fun.  I almost pulled the trigger on a Mantis earlier this year.  Still considering it TBH.

I'm thinking of just buying one of those complete tour lock kits with all the different weights in it... it will be interesting to see if the counterbalancing thing is a fad that has re-emerged, or if it will be a growing trend.

The Versa Jailbird should be called the "Versa Convict" and each putters serial should be inscribed in orange letters :lol:
