12 putters tie as the most upright of 2020: Cleveland Frontline 4.0 Putter, Cleveland Frontline Cero Single Bend Putter, Cleveland Frontline Cero Slant Neck Putter and 9 more, all at 70°.
All 12 putters with a lie angle are ranked below, along with 1 more list: longest.
Every putter the record publishes a 2020 release year for. A model year is the year a club was launched, not the year it was designed or the year it left the shops — a putter still on sale is still filed under the year it launched.
Each figure is ranked from both ends — strongest and weakest, most and least — over the same clubs, and each list counts only the clubs that publish that figure, so the totals differ between them. Loft, lie, offset and bounce are fitting specifications — a stronger loft is a longer-carrying club of the same name, not a better one, and neither end of any list here is the good end. How this is worked out.

The published lie angle, measured from the ground. Irons are read at the 7-iron; every other category at the most upright figure the model publishes. PING quotes putter lie from vertical rather than horizontal, so those figures are converted onto the common scale before comparison and the club’s own page still shows the number PING published.
