Pros

- More stable and forgiving than a standard blade
- Elite distance control - an AI insert plus an FRD groove for immediate roll
- A soft feel and an incredibly consistent roll
Cons
- Face-balanced only - very limited arc-fit
- Bigger than a classic blade - not for compact-blade purists
- Premium pricing with the half-ball option
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentMore forgiving than a blade - the Double Wide is bigger than a standard blade, not quite a mid-mallet, making it more stable and forgiving than the #1, the Ai-Dual insert normalizing distance on mishits. Good forgiveness for a wide blade - more stable than a slim Anser.
Distance
Class-leadingA standout - the AI-developed insert with an amorphous thickness pattern improves ball speed and controls backspin on mishits for less variation in rollout, the FRD groove getting the ball rolling forward almost immediately. Among the very best putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestA face-balanced wide blade - the double-bend shaft gives little offset and makes it face-balanced, suiting a straighter stroke, built for minimal arc. Very limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and responsive - the revolutionary Ai-Dual insert delivers a soft feel and an incredibly consistent roll, a soft, quality strike. Strong feel - soft off the face with responsive feedback.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the urethane insert gives a soft, muted note at impact, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentMaximum alignment - the Double Wide now features the half-ball alignment, which better cues the golfer that the face is lined up correctly, and on six-foot putts the half-ball improved starting-line accuracy significantly. A clean, alignment-maximising wide blade.
