Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks84
- Distance82
- Feel81
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a compact, traditional-looking mid-mallet that sits square, with forward-CG accuracy, a pure roll and slant or single-bend hosel options.
You want maximum mallet forgiveness or a soft premium milled feel — a full high-MOI mallet or a milled putter suits you better.
Pros
- A compact, forward-CG mid-mallet that sits dead square
- A pure, on-line roll and consistent distance control
- A simpler, traditional look at excellent value
Cons
- A lively feel off the aluminium face
- More compact, so a touch less forgiving than the full mallets
- Value-grade finish and materials
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGood — a compact forward-CG mid-mallet cuts gear effect and steadies off-centre putts, if a touch less forgiving than the full mallets.
Distance
ExcellentA highlight — a milled SOFT face normalises ball speed across the face, so distance control stays consistent and dependable.
Workability
ModestA compact mid-mallet offered in slant or single bend — it favours a straight roll but releases enough for a mild arc stroke.
Feel
StrongFirm and lively off the aluminium face — responsive with instant feedback, well suited to controlling distance for a value putter.
Sound
StrongA firm, lively note at impact — a touch tinny off the aluminium face, though the compact mallet steadies it somewhat.
Looks at address
ExcellentCompact and traditional — a simpler mid-mallet that sits dead square behind the ball with a clean sightline for easy aim.
