I want! (Any one of them).  Differences are shafts, weight and inserts.

was hitting the belly + broom versions of this last week -- looks great in person and puts a nice roll on the ball. I suspect these will move!

Those are the best looking putters I've seen in a while. Just need to find the right length and weight. Gotta get me one.

Sick! Have a belly pre-ordered, but really wish they would have added the sight line to the retail.

That dose look really nice. I like the look from looking down at it. Thats alot better then last years model with the open hole in it. This one has a weight and diffrent shaft that you could customize which I like also, but will TM let the basic golfer get their hands on them.

I have never used a mallet but I must say that Camilo's sets up great!  I think I may have ti give one of these a try.

I would love one with the retail double lines and two of those three red dots with a slightly darker paintfill.  That way, it would look kinda like my odyssey sabertooth with the two dots, the shape is nice, reminds me of a filled in #7, very interested to try this putter and I have disliked all TM ghost putters so far except the spider which was just ok.  They all have had a cheap, clicky feel to them and most of them look ugly as f**k.  The Manta might actually be good.

To me, they don't stand out enough from many many other mallet types on the market over the years.  Certainly not different enough to shell out the $$ this year, at least.
