A few weeks ago, I traveled to England to do some teaching on how to read the green.  While I was there, I was given the opportunity to use an MLA putter. An MLA Tour Mallet to be specific.

MLA Tour Mallet

Here’s my review.  As an AimPoint Green Reading Instructor, I preach how important being able to aim correctly is. In fact, AimPoint has partnered up with an American putter com

pany Edel Golf that specializes in fitting for aim.  It seems quite clear to me that the MLA putter line is another putter company based in Europe with a similar goal.

Honestly, I’ve always been a “I need a putter with a long line to aim guy.” However, after I started using the MLA Tour Mallet, I found it very easy to aim.  I became quite impressed with it’s technology.  It certainly seemed to me that their goal of proper aiming matches exactly with what I am trying to teach.  Where I noticed the biggest advantage for me was when I used a long line on the ball.  I was able to line up the putter to the ball very easily and it became very obvious if I needed to make an adjustment.

To me, the feel of the ball off the putter was a little softer than I typically prefer but I know many who prefer that.  The ball rolls very well and I had no difficulty finding the sweetspot.

Thank You Simon Williams for the opportunity to use the MLA Tour Mallet.  You can follow Simon on twitter (@golfputtersuk)
