Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks88
- Forgiveness85
- Distance84
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straight-back stroke and want the most forgiving, high-MOI fang mallet with super alignment, a soft muted feel and forward-CG accuracy.
You have an arc stroke or want a premium milled feel — a slight-arc blade or a milled putter suits you better.
Pros
- The most forgiving Frontline — a high-MOI fang mallet with forward CG
- Wings that frame the ball beautifully for super alignment
- A soft, muted Elite feel — the tinny original, fixed
Cons
- A face-balanced fang shape offers nothing for an arc stroke
- No weight kit supplied for the adjustable sole
- Value-grade finish
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe most forgiving Frontline — a high-MOI fang mallet with forward tungsten weighting and adjustable weights cuts gear effect for straight, stable putts.
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 fang 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 cures the original Elevado's tinny, lively impact.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note at impact — Cleveland's Elite face tech quiets the aluminium, far cleaner than the original's tinny sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentSuper alignment — square-angled wings frame the ball beautifully with refined 2135 sightlines that make aiming effortless at address.
