If I like how a putter looks at address and I can line it up accurately and consistently, I don't mind if there's a sight line/dot/other marking or not. (I prefer a relatively traditional look to my clubs, though, so tend to stick with 'keep it simple' when I'm choosing clubs.)

rsvman Then we gotta find a different game to play. If we can't hit the middle with a club moving at 2mph, what hope do we have at 100mph?

    Sightline...the tri-ball is like like a seeing eye dog on a leash. Stevie Wonder could line that thing up...

      Never really thought about it but my Ping Ketsch has 3 of them and this has been the best putter I have ever had and I do find it easy to line up putts, so maybe the sight lines have something to do with it.

      Really never gave it a second thought.

      The only thing that ever mattered to me was having the putter face square to the ball and stroking the ball on the intended line at the right pace. Never put an alignment line on my ball... never did anything other than pick out a reference point on the green (an old ball mark, spot, etc on the green itself) and set my putter up square to that line.

      It worked out pretty well.

      rsvman I'm sure I wouldn't be surprised. I push and pull my putter so often you'd think I was fighting with it.

        puttnfool not bad, forget where I got it, likely from an exgf, can't imagine buying something like that😋

          Rickochet I assume your pic is photoshoped but to conform to USGA rules, a putter head's width must be greater than its depth, measured from the face to the back of the club head.

              Photo is real. It is a DTG Felon putter that was sold as non-conforming. The pic was posted to inspire some humor as I am sure was the gist of the putter design.

              I think Santa might be be bringing me this one. This sightline has two eyes.

                Rik, you should have put " 2 balls on the face" for full effect! 😂

                There was a thread earlier about the poop putter...classic description they have. Funny thing is...it looks like it might not be a bad putter.

                Yes, sightline, but nothing too large or annoying like the 3-ball putter, etc. And no alignment line on the ball either. Just want to see ball.

                I like a sight line, but not one that is distracting. I have removed the paint from the single line in my current putter so it is usable when I first set the putter on line, but it is not something I focus on when I putt.
