Orlimar White F6 Mallet Putter Review: Bold Look, Dialed-In Feel

There's a moment at address when a putter either gives you confidence or takes it away. The Orlimar Golf White F6 Mallet Putter belongs firmly in the first category. That bright white finish catches your eye immediately — but once you read past the look, what you'll find is a technically sound, high-forgiveness mallet that punches well above its price point.

The White Finish: More Than a Style Statement

White putters have a long history on tour. The contrast between a white mallet head and the green turf makes alignment lines pop in a way that dark finishes simply can't match. The F6 uses that optical advantage deliberately — the high-contrast alignment aid runs the full length of the head, giving you a clear reference point to square the face to your target line before you pull the trigger.

On the course, this matters more than it sounds. Misread putts often aren't misread at all — they're mis-aimed. The F6's white finish and bold alignment lines remove that variable, especially on longer lag putts where face angle errors compound quickly over distance.

High-MOI Mallet Head: Forgiveness You'll Feel

The F6's mallet-style head is where the real performance story lives. Moment of inertia (MOI) measures how resistant a clubhead is to twisting on off-center strikes. Higher MOI means that when you catch the ball slightly toward the heel or toe — which happens to every golfer, every round — the face stays squarer through impact and the ball rolls closer to your intended line.

The F6's head geometry distributes weight to the perimeter of the mallet, maximizing MOI without adding bulk that would kill feel. The result is a putter that feels solid on center strikes and stays relatively honest on mishits. You won't be rewarded for sloppy strokes, but you won't be punished as harshly as you would with a blade.

Plumber's Neck Hosel: Built for Straight-Back, Straight-Through Strokes

Putter hosel design is one of the most overlooked fit variables in golf. The F6 uses a short slant neck (plumber's neck) hosel, which creates a half-offset design. This setup positions the shaft slightly behind the face at address, which promotes a neutral, square setup with minimal face rotation through the stroke.

The plumber's neck is the natural match for golfers who use a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke — one of the most common and most reliable stroke patterns for amateur golfers. If you've been using an arc-style putter with a lot of toe hang and your stroke is actually straight-through, the F6 is a genuine upgrade in fit.

How It Compares to the Orlimar F5 Mallet Putter

If you've seen the Orlimar F5 Mallet Putter, the F6 is its sibling — same brand DNA, same short game philosophy, different character. The F5 comes in a traditional black matte finish with a slightly different head shape; the F6 goes white with the bold contrast alignment system and a refined plumber's neck geometry.

Both are high-MOI mallets in the same price tier. The decision really comes down to preference at address: if you find white putters give you more confidence over the ball, the F6 is your club. If you prefer a stealthy black finish that doesn't draw attention, the F5 delivers the same forgiveness in a different package.

Either way, pair your putter with the Orlimar Spin Tech Wedge for a complete Orlimar short game setup — the wedge and putter share the same brand commitment to feel and forgiveness at accessible prices.

Who Should Buy the Orlimar White F6?

• Mid-to-high handicap golfers who want more forgiveness on off-center putts without going to a heavy blade-style putter
• Golfers with a straight-back, straight-through stroke who need a neutral hosel setup to match their stroke path
• Alignment-focused putters who benefit from high-contrast reference lines at address
• Anyone building an Orlimar short game lineup — the White F6 integrates naturally with the F5 putter and Spin Tech Wedge lineup

Bottom Line

The Orlimar Golf White F6 Mallet Putter is a well-executed high-MOI mallet at a price that makes it easy to justify. The white finish isn't just cosmetic — it's a functional alignment tool that helps you aim more consistently. The plumber's neck hosel fits the most common amateur stroke pattern. And the forgiving head design keeps your mishits close to the line instead of tracking well off target.

At $59.99, it's one of the better value plays in the mallet putter market. If you're looking to cut putts off your scorecard without spending $200+ on a name-brand putter, the F6 deserves a serious look.
