Weigh feel against forgiveness in mallet vs blade choice

Comparing a mallet and a blade, the speaker notes the smaller, sleeker head sits at a different centre of gravity that changes the ball's roll and launch. One option is much more sensitive to feel, but on strikes missed away from the centre its head is more likely to twist; and if the face is not square to your target line at impact the putt will not go in. He says to weigh this when making the choice.
