Where it wins
- Looks84
- Feel83
- Distance82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a slight-to-moderate arc and want a balanced, alignment-friendly mallet with a traditional feel and adjustable weighting.
You want maximum modern MOI, the softest feel, or the latest design — a newer mallet suits you better.
Pros
- An oversized, balanced mallet with adjustable weighting
- A SIK aluminium descending-loft face for consistent launch
- Clear train-track alignment with a traditional feel
Cons
- Forgiveness is solid rather than class-leading
- A firmer aluminium-face feel than a soft insert
- An older 2020 design since surpassed by newer lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGood — an oversized 304 stainless mallet with adjustable weighting for repeatable, balanced results, forgiving if not class-leading.
Distance
ExcellentSolid — SIK's aluminium descending-loft face keeps launch consistent across strokes and attack angles for dependable distance control.
Workability
ModestWorkable — a short slant hosel with 40 degrees of toe hang releases the face, suiting a slight-to-moderate arc stroke.
Feel
ExcellentA solid, traditional feel — the SIK aluminium insert has just the right softness and click on a modern head.
Sound
ExcellentA traditional, moderate note at impact — a clean click off the aluminium face, firmer than a soft insert.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean oversized mallet with train-track alignment aids and a single sightline that sets up square at address.
