What I Like About The Odyssey Marxman Mallet: A well balanced head. The face has a nice feel...not too firm, not too soft. The sight line makes lining up easier than ever. I tried the two and three ball also. They felt similar, but I felt the sight lines on the Marxman made it easier on shorter putts to line up correctly. I was making 10-15 footers pretty consistently on the practice green.

What I Do Not Like About These Putters: Odyssey didn't think of this one sooner, and it wasn't free:)

Marxman Mallet Quality: Well built, just like everything oddysey makes. Everything from the stock grip to the fleece lined head cover are top notch.

Review & Rating Summary: A huge improvement over my blade. It's much easier to get that straight back and through stroke. I really feel in control of the putter instead of the other way around. 6 footers are pretty much guaranteed to drop now. I tried putters ranging from $100-300. This one took the cake as far as performance, quality, and price.
