Cleveland

What it does: When Cleveland introduced its Frontline technology, it upended the ideas on where the centre of gravity should be on a putter. Rather than continuing to push it back, the CG stayed forward on these putters through front-loaded tungsten weights to reduce the microscopic inconsistency that actually makes even short putts easily missed. Now, Cleveland has gone further by making the entire face out of tungsten, increasing the weight of the face by four times.

Why we like it: Mallets still need to occupy a lot of visual space to accentuate their alignment benefits, but these mallets accomplish that through a skeletal frame that keeps the look without adding weight in the back. The intricate face-milling pattern is also specific for each style of clubhead to optimise roll.
