Edel Array B-1 Putter

Blade Putter

Edel built its reputation on putter fitting before most golfers knew that was a thing, and the Array B-1 is that philosophy packed into a single head. It's a classic blade shape on the surface, but the whole point of the Array line is adjustability. Movable weights let you and your fitter change how the putter balances and swings without changing the look you set up behind.

The B-1 ships with mid toe hang, which puts it squarely in slight-arc territory. That's where most golfers actually live, even the ones who swear they take the putter straight back and straight through. If your stroke opens and closes a little through impact, this head works with that motion instead of fighting it.

One thing worth knowing up front: there's no alignment aid. No sightline, no dot. Edel leaves the topline clean on purpose, betting that a well-fit putter and a clean look do more for your aim than a painted line ever will. Some golfers find that liberating. Others miss the line immediately.

Design

The B-1 is a milled blade with Edel's Array weighting system built in, which is what separates it from the wall of look-alike blades at your local shop. Weights can be repositioned to tune feel and balance, so two B-1s off the same rack can swing very differently once they're set up. That makes this less of an off-the-shelf purchase and more of a fitting-table putter, which is exactly how Edel wants you to buy it. The head itself is traditional. Clean topline, no visual clutter, and a shape that will look familiar to anyone who grew up on classic blades. The mid toe hang comes from the stock configuration, but the weighting system means the balance point isn't locked in the way it is on most putters.

Who It's For

• Players with a slight arc in their stroke who want a blade that matches that natural rotation.
• Anyone willing to go through a real putter fitting, since the adjustable weighting is wasted if you never dial it in.
• Traditionalists who aim with the topline and the face rather than a sightline, because this putter gives you nothing else to aim with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stroke type fits the Edel Array B-1?

The mid toe hang suits a slight to moderate arc. If you swing the putter on a gentle curve and the face rotates a bit through impact, that's the stroke this head is built for. Strong-arc players or true straight-back-straight-through putters would be better served by a different balance setup, though the Array weight system gives a fitter room to adjust.

Does the Array B-1 have an alignment aid?

No. The topline is completely clean, with no sightline or dot. Edel's position is that many golfers aim worse with a line than without one, and their fitting process is designed to figure out which camp you're in before you buy.

What makes the Array weighting system different from other adjustable putters?

Most adjustable putters let you change swing weight by swapping sole weights. The Array system goes further by letting weight be repositioned around the head, which changes the balance and feel of the putter, not just how heavy it swings. It's meant to be set during a fitting rather than tinkered with on the practice green.

Do I need a fitting to buy the Edel Array B-1?

You can buy one off the shelf, but you'd be paying for adjustability you're guessing at. Edel is a fitting-first company, and the B-1's weighting system only earns its price when someone matches it to your stroke and setup. If a fitting isn't in the cards, a simpler blade may be the smarter buy.

Is the Array B-1 a forgiving putter?

It's a blade, so temper expectations. Off-center strikes will lose more speed than they would with a mallet. The weighting system helps stabilize the head somewhat, but if you struggle to find the center of the face consistently, Edel's mallet-style Array heads are the more forgiving path.
