Start line is the first filter
A putter that looks beautiful but starts the ball offline is the wrong fit. We look for alignment cues that help a player aim naturally without making the head feel bulky.
Match toe hang to stroke
Face-balanced mallets can help a straighter stroke, while toe-hang blades and compact mallets suit players with more arc. The right choice should make the face feel easier to return square.
Pace control still matters
Forgiveness helps, but pace is what prevents three-putts. A putter should give clean feedback on long putts and enough stability on short ones.
