For what should be the easiest part of the game, and one enjoyed recreationally by non-golfers everywhere, putting can be a fickle beast.
We all believe we should make more than we do, and for such a simple idea (rolling a stationary ball to a stationary target) we often overcomplicate things and make it harder for ourselves than needs be.
But fear not, there is a way out of the putting doldrums and it comes in the form of the latest and greatest putters from all the big names in the world of golf equipment.
From 3D printed designs, to milled classics, mallets, blades, you name it, there is sure to be a putter for you in our comprehensive putter guide for 2022.
CLEVELAND FRONTLINE
Like many of the putters featured over the coming pages, the Frontline range from Cleveland golf features a diverse range of head shapes, sizes and neck styles to suit any preference and stroke type.
The range’s point of difference comes in its weighting that also lends the Frontline family its name and was developed with one goal in mind. Hitting more straight putts.
Weight has been shifted forward in the Frontline putters towards to face to create stability and deliver putts hit on the target line more often no matter where on the face impact occurs.
Aiming cues are also a big part of the line, while a more consistent roll is delivered by the insert face.
“Having weight as close to the face surface as possible while maximising moment of inertia (MOI) provides the straightest putts on miss-hits ever measured,” Director of Engineering at Cleveland Golf Dustin Brekke said. “Frontline technology has eliminated the mis-hits. No matter where you hit on the insert, the ball will go straight and the same distance.”
