Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel90
- Looks89
- Distance88
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a straighter stroke and want a wide, steadier blade with a sublime feel and the eye-calming half-ball alignment.
You have an arc stroke, want a mallet's MOI, or prefer a compact head — a toe-hang blade or a mallet suits you better.
Pros
- A sublime dual-urethane insert with an FRD groove for immediate roll
- A wide, steadier-than-a-blade body with the new half-ball alignment
- Golfers holed more putts with the half-ball alignment in independent testing
Cons
- Still a blade, so less MOI than a mallet
- Face-balanced only, with little for an arc stroke
- A larger footprint than a classic blade
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentGood for a blade — a wider, face-balanced body with extreme heel-toe weighting keeps mishits rolling out well for a blade.
Distance
ExcellentA strength — the dual-urethane insert and a 19-degree FRD groove give an immediate, consistent end-over-end roll for dependable distance control.
Workability
ModestMinimal — a face-balanced, wide-body blade built to stay square for a straight stroke, not to shape putts.
Feel
Class-leadingSublime — the dual-layer urethane insert is one of the softest putter faces around, soft outer over a firm core.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, pleasing note at impact — the dual-urethane insert gives a gentle, quiet tone.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean wide-body blade with the new half-ball alignment — a long line and single dot that calm the eye at address.
