Mallet putters move more weight low and back in a larger head, which lifts the MOI (resistance to twisting) and makes them far more forgiving on off-centre strikes. The bigger footprint also leaves more room for alignment aids, so it's easier to set up square and start the ball on line. From compact mid-mallets through to full high-MOI wing shapes, there's a head here to steady almost any stroke.

Are mallet putters right for you?

Mallets suit golfers with a straighter back-and-through stroke, anyone chasing maximum forgiveness and stability, or players who find it hard to keep the face square. If you've got a noticeable arc and prefer feel and shot-making over forgiveness, our blade putters may suit you better, and our guide to blade vs mallet putters goes into it properly. A quick putter fitting is the surest way to find the right head shape for your stroke.
