For most of his career, Phil Mickelson has been using a heel putter. He continues to do so to date and has never experimented much with this club. Over time, golf club manufacturing companies have introduced plenty of new technologies to their putters. However, Mickelson still chooses the old-school heel-shafted putter. 

Moreover, Phil once revealed the reason for using this putter in The Dan Patrick Show. He was at the show with the Australian golfer, Jason Day, during the 2017 Presidents Cup. “I have two or three putters that I like,” said Phil. “When you grow up putting, you develop a stroke that’s around your putter.” 

“So the way the face rotates the way you tend to gravitate towards putters like that. So I grew up with a blade heel-shafted putter. And when the shaft gets more towards the center, there’s not as much rotation, I don’t putt well,” revealed Mickelson.
