Mallet putters feature a larger, heavier clubhead and generally have been chosen on tour due to their performance benefits. Mallets are well suited to golfers who need a forgiving club. A heavier headweight, paired with more dispersed perimeter weighting often allows for better results on miss-hit putts. Mallets are often slightly more, or completely face balanced, meaning they are more suited for golfers who have little to no arc, or a straight-back straight-through putting stroke.
