Blade putters may see a resurgence in professional golf

Blade putters, once dominant, now represent only 10% of putters used by top professional golfers, with mallets being the preferred choice. Odyssey reports an 80% mallet usage rate on the PGA Tour, though some pros still favor blades. Mallets offer stability and alignment benefits, with manufacturers creating them to perform like blades. The rise of "zero torque" putters and ongoing testing could potentially lead to blade putters with mallet-like performance, sparking intrigue in the category.
