Where it wins
- Looks87
- Forgiveness83
- Distance82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straight-back stroke and want a very forgiving, high-MOI fang mallet with forward-CG accuracy and easy alignment at a value price.
You have an arc stroke or want a soft, premium milled feel — a slight-arc blade or a milled putter suits you better.
Pros
- A very forgiving, high-MOI fang mallet with forward-CG accuracy
- Wings that frame the ball beautifully for easy alignment
- Consistent, accurate results at excellent value
Cons
- A tinny sound and lively feel off the aluminium face
- A face-balanced fang shape offers nothing for an arc stroke
- Value-grade finish and materials
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe most forgiving Frontline shape — a high-MOI fang mallet with forward tungsten weighting cuts gear effect for straight, stable off-centre putts.
Distance
ExcellentA highlight — a SOFT milled face normalises ball speed across the face, so distance control stays consistent and accurate.
Workability
ModestA face-balanced fang mallet built for a straight-back stroke — it rolls the ball dead straight, not made to shape a putt.
Feel
StrongLively off the aluminium face — firm and responsive rather than soft, with clear feedback that some will find a touch harsh.
Sound
StrongA tinny note at impact — a by-product of the forward weighting, livelier and higher-pitched than a milled steel mallet.
Looks at address
ExcellentThe best Frontline shape — square-angled wings frame the ball beautifully and it sits very nicely behind the ball at address.
