Jake Morrow adopts a mallet putter following instruction from Stephen Sweeney
Summary

Jake Morrow transitioned to a mallet-style putter after a session with instructor Stephen Sweeney highlighted the design's alignment and weight distribution benefits. Previously a long-time user of the Toulon Golf Chicago blade, Morrow integrated a custom TaylorMade Spider Tour X into his bag four months ago. While performance results between well-fit blade and mallet putters often remain subjective, the mallet design offers manufacturers more space for alignment aids and variable weight placement. Proponents suggest these features assist players in squaring the putter head more consistently. Despite the shift, Morrow continues to rotate his blade putter into practice, noting that the choice between the two often depends on his feel for the club on a given day.
