Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness84
- Distance84
- Feel84
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straighter stroke and want a soft-feeling, forgiving fang mallet with consistent launch at a value price.
You have an arc stroke, want maximum stability, or prefer a clean minimal topline — a blade or premium mallet suits you better.
Pros
- A soft Pebax insert for a responsive feel
- A consistent SIK descending-loft face
- Strong value versus premium mallets, with adjustable weighting
Cons
- Stability is good rather than class-leading
- A busy topline alignment that not everyone likes
- Face-balanced only, with little for an arc stroke
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentGood — a face-balanced fang mallet whose stainless weighting adds stability, though testers found it forgiving rather than class-leading.
Distance
ExcellentSolid — the descending-loft face keeps launch consistent whether the hands sit ahead of or behind the ball at impact.
Workability
ModestMinimal — a face-balanced fang built to stay square for a straight stroke, not to shape putts.
Feel
ExcellentA soft Pebax feel — the TPE insert gives a soft, responsive impact, though some find it only a little softer than aluminium.
Sound
ExcellentA classic, moderate note at impact — clean and consistent, a touch firmer and louder than a premium urethane insert.
Looks at address
ExcellentA sleek, modern fang with three alignment lines — clear at address, though the busy topline is a little much for some.
