Where it wins
- Forgiveness92
- Distance88
- Feel88
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want maximum forgiveness and stability — a large zero-torque mallet with a very soft feel and easy alignment.
You have an arc stroke, want a compact head, or want to shape putts — a blade or arc mallet suits you better.
Pros
- Market-leading zero-torque stability from a large, high-MOI Max head
- A very soft dual-urethane insert with a deeper FRD groove
- Easy alignment and a natural toe-up setup at an accessible price
Cons
- A large footprint that not everyone likes
- A zero-torque, centre-shaft build only, so little for an arc stroke
- The lowest workability of the range by design
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingMarket-leading — a large, zero-torque Max mallet with extreme perimeter weighting that stays rock-solid across the face on off-centre strikes.
Distance
ExcellentA strength — the dual-urethane insert and a deeper FRD groove roll the ball forward almost immediately for dependable distance control.
Workability
ModestMinimal by design — a large, zero-torque, centre-shafted mallet built for maximum stability and a straight stroke, not to shape putts.
Feel
ExcellentVery soft — the dual-urethane insert is among the softest around, giving a soft, quiet impact off the large head.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, quiet note at impact — the dual-urethane insert dampens the sound for a gentle, muted tone.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large mallet with bold alignment that frames the target powerfully and rests naturally square, though the size is a distinctive look.
