Sub 70 putters are easy to underestimate if you only know the brand through irons. In reality, the putter line-up is one of the clearest examples of how the company tries to blend traditional shapes, milled construction and modern fit choices. For UK golfers, that makes the putter conversation less about hype and more about choosing the right head style for the way you aim and stroke the club.
The sensible question is not whether a blade or mallet is universally better. It is which shape helps you start the ball on line more often and gives you the right balance of feel, stability and confidence.

What Defines the Sub 70 Putter Range
Sub 70 describes its putters around milled construction, carbon steel heads and shape variety. That matters because golfers can shortlist the brand by style rather than assuming one design philosophy runs through the whole line. Some players want clean compact blades. Others want the reassurance of a wider blade or the stability of a larger mallet.
This is especially useful for UK golfers who may not get the same easy access to testing as they would with a mainstream brand sitting on every retail rack. If you know the shape categories first, the buying decision becomes far less random.
Blade, Wide Blade, Mallet and Centre Shaft: What Changes?
A classic blade, such as a 007-style shape, tends to suit golfers who like a compact look and stronger arc feel. Wide blades, such as the 005 family, keep a traditional silhouette but add extra stability and a slightly fuller footprint behind the ball. Mallets, including models in the 008, 009 and 010 part of the line-up, are built to make alignment easier and reduce twisting on misses.
Centre-shafted options change the visual picture again. For some golfers they make it much easier to see the face square and move the putter on a simpler path. For others they look unusual and remove the flow they like from a necked putter. Neither response is wrong. It is about what lets you aim and roll the ball with more trust.
| Putter style | Typical Sub 70 examples | Often suits | Main advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blade | 007, 006 | Golfers with stronger arc and preference for compact visuals | Traditional look and feedback |
| Wide blade | 005, 005 CS | Golfers wanting blade looks with more help | Extra stability without full mallet size |
| Mallet | 008, 009, 010, 010S | Golfers prioritising alignment and forgiveness | Higher MOI and easier setup |
| Centre shaft | 005 CS, 008 CS, 010 CS | Golfers preferring a straighter visual presentation | Face awareness and alignment |

Match the Head to the Stroke and the Eye
Stroke type matters, but it is not the only thing that matters. Golfers often hear that strong arc players need blades and straight-back-straight-through players need face-balanced mallets. There is some truth in that, but the eye matters almost as much. If you stand over a head shape and never feel comfortable aiming it, the theoretical fit becomes less useful.
That is why a wide blade can be such a sensible compromise. It can suit golfers who enjoy blade visuals but need more stability, while avoiding the full-size mallet look that some players never fully trust. Equally, a high-MOI mallet can transform start line consistency for a golfer who has been fighting face control.
If you can compare shapes indoors with a repeatable surface, the difference becomes obvious quickly. Outtabounds sessions and simulator-based practice often reveal whether the issue is stroke path, face control or simply a putter shape that does not frame the target well for your eye.
Why Indoor Practice and Fitting Still Matter
Putting decisions improve when you move from guesswork to evidence. You do not need a tour-level fitting environment to benefit. Even simple observations about start line, strike location and pace control can separate one head style from another. This is also why related pages such as our technology and indoor golf simulators are useful context. Better equipment choices usually come from clearer feedback.
A putter is also deeply personal. Grip shape, head size and the way the topline sits behind the ball all influence confidence. That is another reason not to buy purely by model name. The more you know about your own setup preferences, the more likely you are to choose the right Sub 70 head.

UK Buying Tips Before You Commit
If you are narrowing the Sub 70 putter range from the UK, start with head style first, then think about neck configuration, alignment features and overall footprint. Keep the process simple. Decide whether you want compact, middle-ground or maximum stability. After that, you can judge the finer details.
It is also sensible to connect the putter choice to your wider equipment plan. If you are already considering grip changes or club work, pages such as golf club repairs and contact us can help you plan changes more coherently rather than treating the putter as an isolated purchase.

Conclusion
Sub 70 putters make most sense when you choose by shape and visual fit rather than by model number alone. Blade, wide blade, mallet and centre-shafted options all have a place. The right one is the putter that helps you aim more clearly, roll the ball more consistently and stand over the ball with genuine confidence.
