The Beginner Putter is rated 2/3/0/2. Zero turn into a 2 fade suggests a stable putter flight, straight through the middle with a dependable left finish for a right-hand backhand. It is not the putter for turnover touch shots.

Kestrel Outdoors, a Utah company whose shop offers several bundled sets, including beginner- and family-oriented packs, names this mold by its function rather than a fantasy name. Its shop sells the mold as the Pro Putter, says it throws a stable, straight line with a slight left-turning fall at the end, and prints the same figures carried here. The PDGA approved it on 15 March 2018 in the brand's founding trio with the Beginner Fairway Driver and Beginner Mid-Range.
