Best for

You putt with a straight-back, straight-through stroke and want a forgiving, easy-to-aim high-MOI mallet with premium soft feel at a value price.

Avoid if

You putt with an arc and want toe hang, or you want a compact blade.

Pros

The most forgiving Frontline - a high-MOI rounded mallet that's very forgiving in both direction and distance
Super alignment - a 2135 raised sightline plus dual diagonal lines that frame the ball in the centre of the face
Premium soft milled feel and consistent distance control at a value-tier price
A face-balanced single bend - ideal for a straight-back, straight-through stroke

Cons

A face-balanced mallet - limited arc-fit, built for a straight stroke
A soft, muted centre with a sharper off-centre note
A 2021 design - the Frontline Elite (2022 and later) is the newer generation

By dimension

Forgiveness

Strong

The most forgiving Frontline - the high-MOI rounded-mallet head and large footprint keep the face square through impact, reducing offline dispersion and making it very forgiving in both direction and distance, the 47.3g of toe-and-heel tungsten adding off-centre stability. Strong forgiveness, the best of the Frontline line.

Distance

Strong

Consistent pace - SOFT (Speed Optimized Face Technology) normalises ball speed across the face for consistent distance, and the putter is very forgiving in distance. Good distance control for the class.

Workability

Fair

A face-balanced mallet - the Cero single bend has no toe hang, making it face-balanced for a straight-back, straight-through stroke, the high-MOI mallet of the line rather than an arc-player's putter. Limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.

Feel

Excellent

Premium soft - the milled SOFT aluminium insert gives a soft, premium feel off the face. A premium tactile signature for a value-tier putter.

Sound

Strong

A soft, muted tock - the SOFT milled insert produces a soft, muted tock on centre strikes with clearer feedback off the toe and heel. A quiet centre-strike acoustic for the class.

Looks at address

Excellent

Super alignment - the 2135 raised sightline plus two diagonal lines in the hollowed body that frame the ball in the centre of the face, a strong, stable mallet shape. Excellent alignment and a clean mallet look.
