By dimension
Forgiveness
Among the most forgiving putters made - the S2S Jailbird pairs the high-MOI Jailbird shape with zero-torque, so it feels incredibly stable and is incredibly easy to square up, with class-leading stability. Best-in-class forgiveness - a high-MOI Jailbird plus zero-torque.
Distance
A standout - the new Ai-Dual insert delivers excellent roll with no faults from a performance perspective, the FRD groove and insert giving consistent ball speed and immediate forward roll. Among the very best putters for distance control.
Workability
Intentionally non-manipulable - the S2S design is zero-torque, center-shafted with built-in forward press so the face stays square without manipulation, built for stability rather than shaping. Minimal arc-fit by design - it removes face manipulation rather than rewarding it.
Feel
Excellent - the new Ai-Dual insert provides a really soft feel and is a game-changer, a soft, responsive strike. Among the better-feeling zero-torque mallets.
Sound
A 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
Clean, with great alignment - the Versa high-contrast alignment makes it incredibly easy to square the head up, the 72-degree lie sitting comfortably at address, a clean Jailbird shape. A clean, alignment-friendly Jailbird.
