Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel85
- Looks85
- Distance84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a moderate arc and want a clean, soft-feeling classic blade with consistent launch at a strong value price.
You want a mallet's forgiveness, the softest feel, or a premium build — a mallet or a soft-insert blade suits you better.
Pros
- A soft Pebax insert, a highlight at the price
- A consistent SIK descending-loft face
- A clean, classic blade with adjustable weighting
Cons
- A blade, so modest forgiveness versus a mallet
- A firmer, louder feel than a premium urethane insert
- A value-line build rather than a premium finish
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongFair for a blade — a classic plumber-neck blade with adjustable weighting, forgiving for its class but well short of a mallet.
Distance
ExcellentSolid — the descending-loft face keeps launch consistent across strike positions, minimising skidding or hopping.
Workability
FairWorkable — a plumber's neck with 40 degrees of toe hang releases the face well, suiting a moderate arc stroke.
Feel
ExcellentA soft Pebax feel — the TPE insert gives a soft, responsive impact, a value-line highlight over the firmer aluminium faces.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, moderate note at impact — soft and responsive off the Pebax insert, if a touch firmer than a premium urethane.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, traditional blade with a single sightline and a tidy dark finish — a timeless, refined shape at address.
