Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel89
- Forgiveness88
- Sound87
Watch
Rated highest for feel and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straighter stroke and want a stable, forgiving fang mallet with a sublime dual-urethane feel and immediate roll.
You have an arc stroke, want a compact head, or prefer a firm milled feel — a blade or milled model suits you better.
Pros
- A high-MOI fang that stays extremely stable through the stroke
- A sublime dual-urethane insert with an FRD groove for immediate roll
- Reassuring feel with grip weight that aids distance control
Cons
- A large fang footprint that not everyone likes
- A face-balanced double-bend build, so little for an arc stroke
- A softer, muted feel that firmer-face players may not love
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExcellent — a high-MOI fang mallet that testers found extremely stable through the stroke, holding line and pace on off-centre strikes.
Distance
ExcellentA strength — the dual-urethane insert and a 19-degree FRD groove give an immediate, consistent roll, with grip weight aiding distance control.
Workability
ModestMinimal — a face-balanced, double-bend fang built to stay square through a straight stroke, not to shape putts.
Feel
ExcellentA lovely balance — the dual-urethane insert feels soft with a reassuring impact, a touch of give versus a milled face.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, reassuring note at impact — the dual-urethane insert gives a gentle, quiet tone.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, tour-proven fang shape with bold alignment that frames the ball well, a large but purposeful head.
