PXG Brandon Putter

Mallet Putter

The Brandon is the PXG mallet for golfers whose stroke has a little curve in it. Most mallets get balanced flat so the face stays square through the whole motion, but the Brandon is built with mid toe hang. Balance the shaft across your finger and the toe droops partway toward the ground, somewhere between face balanced and a full-blade arc. That single spec is the story of this putter. It tells you PXG built it for a stroke that opens slightly on the backswing and closes back through impact.

That matters because a lot of players buy a mallet for the forgiveness and then fight it, because their hands want to rotate the face and the flat balance resists them. The Brandon lets that rotation happen. You get the stability and the bigger footprint of a mallet head, but the balance point works with a gentle arc instead of asking you to force the face straight.

On top sits an alignment aid to help you square the head before you pull the trigger. A mallet gives you room for a real sightline, and lining that up to your start line takes some of the aiming guesswork out of the stroke. Put the arc-friendly balance together with the aim help and you have a mallet that fits arc putters who normally feel stuck between blade feel and mallet forgiveness.

Design

The Brandon splits the difference between a blade and a full high-MOI mallet. The head is big enough to move mass away from the face and settle the putter down on off-center hits, but the mid toe hang keeps it from feeling dead in the hands the way a fully face-balanced mallet can for an arc putter. That balance point is the design decision everything else supports. The top sightline gives you a clean reference to aim, and the mallet body gives that line room to breathe so it reads easily at address. This is not the widest, most forgiving shape PXG makes, and it is not trying to be. It is a middle-ground mallet tuned for feel and for a stroke that rotates a touch, rather than the maximum-stability route.

Who It's For

• Your stroke has a slight arc, so the mid toe hang matches your face rotation better than a face-balanced mallet would.
• You want mallet forgiveness and a bigger head but do not want the club fighting the way your hands release.
• You are coming off a blade and want more stability without giving up the feel of a putter that rotates through the stroke.
• You aim better with a sightline over the ball than with a bare top edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PXG Brandon have toe hang or is it face-balanced?

It has mid toe hang. Balance the shaft on your finger and the toe hangs partway down, sitting between a face-balanced mallet and a full-blade arc. That fits a stroke with a slight arc, where the face opens a little going back and closes through the ball. If your stroke is dead straight with no rotation, a face-balanced putter will match you better.

Is the Brandon a good mallet for an arc putter?

Yes, that is exactly who it is built for. Most mallets are face balanced and can feel like they resist an arc stroke. The Brandon's mid toe hang lets the face rotate the way your hands want to, so you get mallet forgiveness without the club fighting your release. If you have avoided mallets because they felt locked up, this one is worth a look.

How forgiving is the PXG Brandon compared to a big high-MOI mallet?

It is more stable than a blade but not as forgiving as the widest, weight-out-to-the-corners mallets. The Brandon trades some of that maximum stability for a head that feels better in an arc stroke. If your only priority is the highest possible forgiveness on mishits, a wider mallet will beat it. If you want a balance of stability and feel, this is the point of the Brandon.

Will the alignment aid help me aim the Brandon?

That is the idea. The sightline on top gives you a reference to square to your start line before you take the club back, and the mallet body gives that line enough space to read clearly at address. Aiming is personal, so it is worth setting up over a few putts to see if the line helps you or gets in your head, but for most players a clear sightline on a mallet is a help.

Should I get fit before buying the PXG Brandon?

It helps, mostly to confirm the mid toe hang fits your stroke. A fitter or a simple face-balance check will tell you whether your stroke arcs enough to suit this putter or whether you are better off with a face-balanced model. Length and lie matter too, since a putter that sits flush at address makes squaring the face far easier.
