Pros
- A modular design blending blade feel with mallet forgiveness
- High MOI from 7075 aluminium mass and sole weighting
- Three body shapes and three necks for a wide fit, on the Golf Digest Hot List
Cons
- A firmer, multi-material feel than a solid forged head
- A premium price
- No assistive roll grooves
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExcellent — a modular multi-material mallet with 7075 aluminium mass and sole weights giving high MOI and the forgiveness of a mallet.
Distance
ExcellentSolid — deep face milling and a dynamically shallow CG give a consistent, dependable roll for steady distance control.
Workability
ModestFlexible — three neck options (plumber's, double-bend, slant) give varying toe hang to fit straighter or arced strokes.
Feel
ExcellentA satisfying milled feel — deep face milling softens impact, though the multi-material aluminium build feels a touch firmer than solid steel.
Sound
StrongA moderate, milled note at impact — satisfying and consistent, a little firmer than a solid forged steel head.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, modern modular shape — a winged, square or round mallet with tidy alignment that frames the ball well at address.
