The Bell III Side-Saddle, in a half mallet design and often called a Face-on putter, provides a putting stroke that helps with the “yips” commonly experienced by older golfers. Sam Snead was known for using the Side-Saddle technique, which helped increase its popularity in the golfing world. The USGA initially ruled the Side-Saddle putter non-conforming, but it was later approved and allowed in USGA tournaments.
Putter head weight is 365 grams with polished finish. Single bend steel shaft. New for 2025 with increase in upright lie angle from 75 to 77 degrees
The putter lie is upright at 77 degrees and within USGA Guidelines to allow usage in USGA events. The side-saddle is often the answer for the senior player with back pain from practice putting with standard length putters. Unlike standard length and contemporary broom style putting strokes, the Side Saddle is designed to have both feet pointed to the target line and the golf ball is outside of your right foot for the right-handed golfer. A good illustration is found in YouTube videos of Sam Snead putting with a Side Saddle style of putter. Bowlers often like side saddle putting as the putting technique is very similar.
