Never Compromise Sub30
We test ten of the latest putters. Five blades take on five mallets but who comes out on top?
Brand: Never Compromise
Putter: Sub30 Type 50
Design: Mallet
RRP: £116 Best price: £90
Loft: 3-degree Lie: 70-degree Head Weight: 360g
Summary: Sub30 Type 50 is a two-piece oversize mallet constructed from stainless steel and aluminium, with most of the weight moved to the perimeter for high MOI and added forgiveness. A dual-material face insert of copper-infused aluminum and polymer offers soft, responsive feel.
Appearance: A uniquely shaped mallet but we found it too chunky. The colouring is also bland. The alignment bars behind the ball, however, rescued it somewhat. We enjoyed the way the bars helped us take the club back and through on a straight arc. Cool artwork on the putter. 7
Feel: The dual material face insert offered a soft, responsive feel on all putts. The insert height is one of the tallest in the market and that helped to minimise distance loss and maximise putts struck off the heel and toe. From 20-feet, we felt as though it was hard to stop the ball within a few feet from the cup. 6
Performance: A well-balanced putter that sits nicely behind the ball and the three lines aid decent and confident alignment. The ball rolled true off the face and it was very forgiving when struck off-centre. 8
Verdict: If you like soft inserts, you will undoubtedly love this putter. A solid putter from Cleveland at an affordable price although we felt looks let down the performance. 21
