Edel EAS 2.0 Putter

Mallet Putter

Edel putters are built around a fitting philosophy first and a head shape second, and the EAS 2.0 is one of the clearest expressions of that idea. Released in 2021 as part of the EAS lineup, it's a compact mallet with mid toe hang and, notably, no alignment aid on the crown. That last part isn't an oversight. David Edel has spent years arguing that lines and dots on a putter often make aim worse, not better, because every golfer perceives them differently. The EAS 2.0 puts that belief into practice with a clean top view and nothing to distract your eyes at address.

The mid toe hang is the other defining trait here. Most mallets lean face balanced, which pushes them toward straight-back-straight-through strokes. This one doesn't. With mid toe hang, the EAS 2.0 is built for players with a moderate arc, the kind of stroke you'd normally pair with a blade. So you get mallet stability and forgiveness without fighting your natural release. That combination is rarer than it should be.

Because the EAS line was designed around Edel's fitting system, this putter makes the most sense when it's been dialed in for you. Off the rack it's still a quality mallet. Fitted, with the weighting and setup matched to your stroke and your aim tendencies, it becomes something more specific, a putter built to fix the miss you actually have.

Design

The head is a mid-sized mallet, smaller than the wide-body shapes that dominate the category, with soft lines and an uncluttered crown. Skipping the alignment line changes how the putter looks at address more than you'd expect. Your eye settles on the face and the ball instead of trying to reconcile a line with your perceived target, which is exactly what Edel intends. Where the EAS system earns its name is in the adjustability underneath. The line uses movable sole weights that a fitter can position to influence how the putter aims and swings, and interchangeable hosel configurations that alter the balance profile. The 2.0 in this configuration sits at mid toe hang, meaning the toe droops about halfway toward the ground when you balance the shaft on a finger. That's the fingerprint of a putter meant for an arcing stroke, and it separates this mallet from most of its peers.

Who It's For

• Players with a moderate arc in their stroke who want mallet forgiveness without switching to a face-balanced head.
• Anyone who aims worse with alignment lines, or who has ever felt like the line on their putter points somewhere their eyes disagree with.
• Golfers willing to go through a proper putter fitting, since the EAS system's adjustability is the whole point of the design.
• Blade players who miss the stability of a mallet but haven't found one that matches their release.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't the Edel EAS 2.0 have an alignment line?

It's intentional. Edel's research found that many golfers aim worse with alignment aids because visual features like lines and dots skew individual aim perception in different directions. The EAS 2.0 leaves the crown clean so your eyes work off the face and the ball. If you've always assumed a line helps you, an aim test at a fitting might surprise you.

What stroke type fits the EAS 2.0's mid toe hang?

A moderate arc. Mid toe hang means the face wants to rotate open and closed a bit through the stroke, so it suits players whose putter naturally swings on an arc rather than straight back and through. If your stroke has very little rotation, a face-balanced head would likely fit better.

Is the Edel EAS 2.0 a full mallet or a mid-mallet?

It sits on the compact end of the mallet category. You get more stability and perimeter weighting than a blade, but it's not an oversized high-MOI head. Think of it as a mallet for players who find modern jumbo mallets clunky at address.

Do I need a fitting to buy the EAS 2.0?

You can buy one without a fitting, but you'd be leaving most of the value on the table. The EAS platform is built around adjustable weighting and setup options that a fitter tunes to your stroke and aim bias. That process is what Edel sells, arguably more than the head shape itself.

How does the EAS 2.0 differ from the other putters in the EAS line?

The EAS lineup runs from blades to larger mallets, with the number roughly tracking head size and shape. The 2.0 is one of the smaller mallet profiles, and in this configuration it carries mid toe hang, so it targets arc-stroke players who want a step up in forgiveness from a blade without going to a bigger, more face-balanced head like those further up the line.
