Where it wins
- Feel84
- Looks84
- Distance80
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a forgiving, easy-to-aim mid-mallet with stability wings, a full-tungsten forward CG and premium soft feel at a value price - and you putt with a slight arc.
You want a compact blade, or the largest, highest-MOI mallet (the Cero).
Pros
- Highly forgiving - two stability wings keep the face straight and make it easy to keep the head online
- A full-tungsten SOFT face for a claimed 38% better off-centre accuracy and a true, consistent roll
- A superb framing mallet shape with clean modern angles - a favourite for alignment
- Premium soft milled feel at a value-tier price
Cons
- A value-tier putter rather than a premium-milled one
- A soft, muted centre with a sharper off-centre note
- Understated rather than flashy
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongHighly forgiving mid-mallet - the two square-angled stability wings keep the face straight and make it easy to keep the head online, the full-tungsten Elite face maximising the forward CG for a claimed 38% better off-centre accuracy. Strong forgiveness for the class.
Distance
StrongExcellent distance control - the denser-centre SOFT groove milling balances pure and off-centre energy so they roll the same distance, a consistent rollout. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
SolidSuits a slight arc - best suited to a slight-arc stroke and offered in single-bend and slant-neck options. Good arc-fit across the neck options.
Feel
ExcellentPremium soft - the milled SOFT face gives a soft, premium feel off the face. A premium tactile signature for a value-tier putter.
Sound
StrongA clean, muted note - the milled tungsten SOFT face gives a soft, muted note at impact. A clean, quiet putter acoustic for the class.
Looks at address
ExcellentA superb framing mallet - the square-angled wings frame the ball superbly with clean, modern angles at address, a favourite mallet shape, with high-contrast alignment. Excellent alignment and a clean mid-mallet look.
