Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks87
- Feel83
- Forgiveness82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straight-back stroke and want a forgiving, high-MOI value mallet with a soft feel, clean 2135 alignment and a pure roll.
You have a strong-arc stroke or want a premium milled feel — a slight-arc blade or a milled putter suits you better.
Pros
- A forgiving, high-MOI mallet with a pure, on-line roll
- A soft, muted feel — better than the tinny Frontline blades
- Clean 2135 alignment and excellent value
Cons
- A face-balanced mallet offers little for an arc stroke
- Value-grade finish and materials
- Significant pop off the face won't suit everyone
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe most forgiving Frontline — a high-MOI mallet with forward tungsten weighting steadies off-centre putts and holds line through impact.
Distance
ExcellentA highlight — a SOFT milled face normalises ball speed across the face, so distance control stays consistent and dependable.
Workability
ModestA face-balanced high-MOI mallet built for a straight-back stroke — it rolls the ball dead straight, not made to shape a putt.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and muted off the face — a mallet body tames the aluminium insert for a softer, cleaner feel than the Frontline blades.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted tock at impact — the mallet head quiets the aluminium face, cleaner and less tinny than the blades.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and sleek — a tidy mallet with 2135 alignment, a centre sightline and two flange lines that make aiming easy.
