Where it wins
- Distance86
- Feel85
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You putt with a strong arc and plenty of rotation, want a classic Anser 2 blade with an enlarged effective sweet spot and excellent distance control, and love the soft White Hot feel.
You putt with a straight or slight-arc stroke (the #1), or you want a face-balanced mallet.
Pros
- A strong-arc Anser 2 blade - more toe hang for players with rotation
- An AI-designed insert enlarges the effective sweet spot
- Excellent distance control - claimed 21% more accurate
- The iconic White Hot softness and a clean classic blade
Cons
- Still a blade - less forgiving than an Ai-One mallet
- Built for a strong arc - wrong fit for a straight stroke
- A 2024 design now superseded by the 2026 Ai-Dual line
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongStrong for a blade - a classic Anser 2 style blade whose AI-designed insert speeds up off-centre putts to make the sweet spot effectively larger, so off-centre putts travel just as far as centre strikes. Good forgiveness for a traditional blade - the insert enlarges the effective sweet spot.
Distance
ExcellentExcellent distance control - the Ai-One insert promotes consistent ball speed across the face (claimed 21% more accurate than a traditional putter), a dialled-in pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
StrongA strong-arc blade - the #2 has more toe hang than the #1 (around 45 degrees), best for slight and stronger arc players with plenty of rotation, a toe-hang Anser 2 that suits an arced release. Excellent arc-fit - a true strong-arc blade.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and responsive - the Ai-One insert feels almost identical to the classic White Hot (soft from the middle but responsive from the toe or heel), a soft, quality strike. Strong feel - the iconic White Hot softness.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the soft urethane backer tones down impact sound and vibration for a soft, muted note, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean classic blade - a clean, classic Anser 2 blade that frames the ball simply, with a Panlite window showing off the insert, a premium finish. A clean, classic players' blade.
