Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel91
- Sound89
- Looks88
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a compact, feel-first mid-mallet with a sublime forged feel and a clean look, in your choice of neck.
You want maximum forgiveness, a larger alignment head, or the lowest price — the Tokyo or a value mallet suits you better.
Pros
- A sublime forged 1025E carbon and copper feel
- A clean, minimalist mid-mallet look
- A very positive, instant forward roll
Cons
- A narrow mid-mallet, so less MOI than the Tokyo
- A compact profile that gives less reassurance at address
- Best struck firmly rather than smoothly
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGood — a compact mid-mallet whose narrow width trims MOI versus the Tokyo, though testers found it surprisingly stable overall.
Distance
ExcellentA strength — deep full-face milling gives a very positive, instant forward roll with no skid, for dependable distance control.
Workability
ModestMixed — a compact mid-mallet offered with a slant neck for arc strokes or a double bend for straighter strokes.
Feel
Class-leadingSublime — forged 1025E carbon steel with a copper underlay gives an incredible, soft, responsive feel at impact.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, slightly lower-pitched note than the Tokyo — the deeper, narrower face gives a rich, quiet tone.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, minimalist mid-mallet that many find hugely appealing, though the compact profile gives less reassurance at address.
