I've been playing 4 years, average score is mid 80s. Previously putted with a blade, then picked this model up at Golf Show, and haven't put it down yet. For me it a nice sight line, balanced, and delivers the ball pretty true to roll. the mallet head size is relatively small (which I like) so it provides a tighter sight line alligning putts. My face has the insert, which I have learned to appreciate over the years. I'm always looking for a upgrade, but this is still in my bag. If your a mallet person, consider this. For the money, you can't beat it.
