Mallet Putters
Mallet putters are so called because they look a bit like croquet mallets - a solid lump on the end of the shaft. Almost without exception mallets are face balanced putters, so will only really suit an square-to-square stroke. Whereas older mallet models look like the image here, manufacturers now produce much more futuristic looking designs which are carefully balanced to give higher moments of inertia - in other words they resist twisting better on off-center hits.
Examples of more futuristic mallet putters include the Odyssey #7 shape and Taylormade Spider, pictured below:

Pros who have had great success with a mallet putter include Ray Floyd, Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington, Jon Rahm and world beating putters Jim Furyk and Luke Donald.
