What it does: The reason to gravitate towards a mallet is stability, so if you’re seeking to make a more stable putter, it helps to use a lot of heavy material at the extremities. The seven mallets in this family feature an average of 125 grams of tungsten positioned in the perimeter to stabilise the head on any kind of mis-hit.

Why we like it: Extreme stability in a mallet putter isn’t just a godsend for poor strikes but poor strokes, too. With weight positioned way back in the head, altering that face angle requires more force during your stroke. These putters, which offer loads of fitting options through four hosels on each model, let golfers basically set it down and go on autopilot. A grooved pattern of micro-pyramids on the face further helps mis-hits roll like centre strikes.
