Where it wins
- Feel91
- Sound90
- Looks88
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You have an arc stroke and want the most forgiving, best-tested City Series blade with a sublime forged feel.
You want a mallet's MOI, the sleekest look, or instant distance control — a mallet or the Kyoto suits you better.
Pros
- A standout blade in independent 2026 robot testing
- A sublime forged 1025E carbon and copper feel
- Mallet-like stability from a square, wide-flange blade
Cons
- Distance control takes longer to master than the Kyoto
- A grey-ion finish that looks less premium than the Kyoto
- Still a blade, so less MOI than a mallet
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentStrong for a blade — a shorter, squarer, wide-flange head that ranked as a standout blade in independent 2026 robot testing.
Distance
ExcellentA strength — deep full-face milling gives an exceptional forward roll and led its class for short-putt distance control in testing.
Workability
SolidWorkable — a heel-toe blade offered with a slant neck for arc strokes, releasing the face through impact.
Feel
Class-leadingSublime — forged 1025E carbon steel with a copper underlay gives an incredibly soft, responsive feel with mallet-like stability.
Sound
Class-leadingAn outstanding, soft acoustic note at impact — the forged carbon and copper underlay give a rich, quiet tone.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, wider blade with a grey-ion finish — a solid, businesslike shape, if less sleek than the narrower Kyoto.
