Sub 70 Sycamore 012S Mallet Putter

Slight toe hang is the most broadly useful reading available, and the 012S is where Sub 70 puts it on this mallet. A slant neck produces it, keeping the hosel tight to the head and the offset modest. Milled 1045 carbon steel, black, 35 inches, right hand only.

Genuinely straight strokes are rarer than the number of face-balanced putters sold implies, and big arcs are rarer still. A putter built around a modest arc suits more golfers than either pole does, which makes this a sensible first try for anyone who has never been fitted. The plumber's-necked 012P is the sibling. Sub 70 builds both at one length, so a fitter shortens rather than orders.
