Cleveland Golf Frontline Putter Preview: A Completely New Way to Design a Putter

Cleveland Golf has designed a new putter called the Frontline, with radical new weighting that brings the center of gravity forward for incredible performance consistency. 

 

Frontline is a completely new approach to putter design that pairs an extreme center of gravity with an improved speed optimized face.  The result is a putter that uniquely maximizes directional and speed consistency. 

With Frontline, the challenge was creating a putter that's powerful enough to counteract miss-hits and provide consistently straighter putts.  And so the foundation of Frontline is Tungsten Forward Weighting, which places two Metal Injection Molded (MIM) tungsten weights in the face of the putter. 

 

For decades, most mallets have weights in the rear of the putter to increase stability on off-center impacts, but this design places the center of gravity in the back of the putter.  Frontline does the opposite, bringing the center of gravity forward for more accuracy on the greens. 

Frontline features Cleveland's Speed Optimized Face Technology (SOFT), which normalizes ball speed across the face for consistent distance performance on every putt.  Every model in Frontline features an individualized SOFT pattern to help mitigate speed and distance loss, especially on off-center strikes. 

 

Frontline offers three different mallet options that include Cleveland's 2135 Technology to help with proper alignment when standing over that critical putt.  Finally, Frontline offers two different hosel types to help provide a superior fit: single bend and slant neck.  The single bend option is ideal for straight stroke types, while the slant neck option fits best for golfers with a slight arc stroke.
