New putters on the shelf

We love watching the Masters! Every year we can’t wait for April to come around to see all the world’s best players come together to play what’s arguably the world’s most famous golf course. Augusta National is on our bucket list and we’ve no doubt it’s on yours too!

If you were to play the iconic course, how well do you think you’d do?

Would you be buckle under the pressure of being on such hallowed ground or would you be pulling off chips like Phil and Tiger?

While it feels amazing to pull off the perfect drive and approach shots, we can all agree that the game is won or lost on the short grass.

Cleveland knows how important it is to find your rhythm on the greens. Their Frontline Elite putter is out now, and it’s packed with features and details to help you take control of your putting to own the greens. Read on as we go into further detail on why this putter will improve your short game and help you shoot lower scores this year.

The tech

Cleveland are all about helping you make consistent putts so you’ll be full of confidence each time you walk onto the putting surface. The Frontline Elite has a high contrast line on the head so you can easily measure up and judge up your putt, increasing your confidence on the greens.

Once you’ve worked out the path the ball’s following, it’s time for some practice strokes so you can determine the amount of force necessary for the shot. This club has built-in counterbalance weights so the club feels great between your hands in the centre of your stance.

The Frontline Elite has Cleveland’s Speed Optimised Face Technology, or SOFT for short. The crossed grooves on the face are designed to make excellent contact with dimpled golf balls. This is important because if you’re not making great contact and hitting the ball out of the centre of the putter face, less energy will be transferred into the ball and you’ll mishit your shot.

The range

We’re all different. We all have different opinions, preferences, and approaches to playing golf. With this in mind, there are eight different models available in the Frontline Elite range to accommodate your play style. The kind of putter hosel you want is important to consider as it directly affects how the golf club performs.

The hosel

The traditional plumber’s neck hosel style is considered the most forgiving putter design. It will help square the club face so you strike the ball better, meaning this kind of putter will benefit you if you have an arc-style and less forwards-and-backwards stroke.

While the plumber’s neck offers lots of offset, a slant style hosel doesn’t have the same kind of bend. Slant style putters give you minimum offset but give you a direct view over the ball so you can better visualise your putt. These clubs don’t help you square the face as much, so you’ll best be suited for slant style putters if your putting stroke is very straight.

From the traditional blade plumber’s neck model, right up to a more weighted, square slant neck model, we’ll help you find your ideal putter.
