One putter, in particular, the MLA Tour X Dream, was rated near the bottom, despite finishing T2. Several putters that performed well were not popular with the tester.For all three of these putters, many testers noted how easily these putters set up square to the target when placed on the ground. In terms of alignment, the EVNROLL ER5, Scotty Cameron Futura 7m, and Odyssey Exo Marxman were ranked the highest.Both of these putters feature PING’s all new Soft Feel insert. Among the top putters for feel were the PING Sigma 2 Fetch and Tyne 4.The EVNROLL ER5, Scotty Cameron Futura 7m and the PING Sigma 2 Tyne 4 ranked among the highest for looks.Testers noted exceptionally soft feel, stability, and ease of alignment with this putter. The Stroke Lab Seven was rated the highest in each individual category, as well. The Odyssey Stroke Lab Seven was rated highest by the test pool, with an average score of 7.9 across Looks, Feel and Alignment.On the flip side, quick tempo golfers (think Brandt Snedeker), would likely benefit from a lighter, blade style putter. The common theme with the larger-head mallets is to push weight to the perimeters of the head to increase MOI, thereby boosting forgiveness.Īccording to PING, golfers with slower tempos, often better fit into heavier, mallet style putters.The number of Fang style putters, like the Odyssey Stroke Lab Seven is on the rise.Mostly gone are the days of the ultra-thin pistol grip. Even Bettinardi putters with their classic cord pistol grip were midsized at the smallest. Whether it be the P2 Aware Tour grip on the MLA Tour X-Dream putter or the new EVNROLL Gravity Grip – several models offer a unique twist on the grip designed to help stabilize the hands and square up the face. Only 8 out of the 28 putters tested featured a pistol or pistol-like grip. Almost every manufacturer offered some sort of midsized to oversized grip. Traditional pistol grips are increasingly uncommon.Of the 30 models tested, we would categorize five as being slight arc, one as strong arc, 23 as straight back straight through (face-balanced), and one as torque-balanced (toe-up).We want to understand what they liked, what they didn’t like, and why. While we do collect and share noteworthy portions of this subjective feedback, it does not factor in our rankings. We also solicit feedback from our testers. FIELD NOTESĭuring each test, we look for trends that provide us insight into where the market as a whole is moving, as well as what noteworthy changes manufacturers have made to improve year-over-year performance. If you're looking for a mallet this year, make sure the Ardmore is in your consideration set. Featuring an improved alignment system and aluminum Pure Roll Insert, the TP Ardmore Red-White ranked near the top in all three of our subjective feedback categories - looks, feel, and alignment. The TaylorMade TP Red-White Ardmore was again a strong performer, finishing second in our 2019 Most Wanted Mallet Test. PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT - Runner-Up: TaylorMade TP Red-White Ardmore
