Where it wins
- Looks88
- Forgiveness84

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 value mallet with super alignment, a pure roll and a soft muted feel.
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 very forgiving, high-MOI mallet with super alignment
- A pure, on-line roll and a soft muted feel
- Adjustable sole weights and premium value
Cons
- A face-balanced mallet offers little for an arc stroke
- No weight kit supplied for the adjustable sole
- Value-grade finish
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentVery forgiving — a high-MOI mallet with forward tungsten weighting and adjustable sole weights steadies off-centre putts and holds line through impact.
Distance
ExcellentA highlight — a milled SOFT face and forward CG give a pure roll and normalise ball speed for consistent distance control.
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 milled tungsten face — the refined Elite feel, cleaner and more premium than the original Frontline.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted tock at impact — the mallet head and Elite face tech quiet the aluminium for a clean, refined note.
Looks at address
ExcellentSuper alignment — a clean, sleek mallet with refined 2135 sightlines that frame the ball and make aiming effortless at address.
