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

- Super alignment - a 2135 raised sightline plus diagonal lines that frame the ball
- A pure roll and consistent distance from the SOFT milled face
- Premium soft milled feel at a value-tier price
Cons

- A value-tier rather than premium-milled putter
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe most forgiving Frontline Elite - the high-MOI rounded-mallet head keeps the face square and resists twisting, the full-tungsten Elite face maximising the forward CG for a claimed 38% better off-centre accuracy. Strong forgiveness, the best of the Elite line.
Distance
StrongPure roll, consistent pace - a pure roll, the denser-centre SOFT groove milling balancing pure and off-centre energy so they roll the same distance. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
SolidA face-balanced mallet - the high-MOI, face-balanced mallet of the Elite line, suited to a straight-back, straight-through stroke, positioned for stability over shot-shaping. Limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
ExcellentPremium soft - the milled SOFT face gives a soft, premium feel off the face. A premium tactile signature for a value-tier putter.
Sound
StrongA clean, muted note - the milled tungsten SOFT face gives a soft, muted note at impact. A clean, quiet putter acoustic for the class.
Looks at address
ExcellentSuper alignment - the 2135 raised sightline plus diagonal lines that frame the ball in the centre of the face, a strong, stable mallet shape. Excellent alignment and a clean mallet look.
