Where it wins
- Forgiveness90
- Feel89
- Distance88
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want maximum forgiveness and stability — a large zero-torque mallet with a generous sweet spot, easy alignment and a soft feel.
You have an arc stroke, want a compact head, or dislike a centre shaft — a blade or a smaller mallet suits you better.
Pros
- Market-leading forgiveness from a large zero-torque head over 6,300 MOI
- A soft, premium White Hot feel
- A generous sweet spot and easy alignment; a Golf Digest 2025 Hot List Gold winner
Cons
- A big footprint that not everyone likes
- A centre-shaft, zero-torque build only, so little for an arc stroke
- A premium price for a putter
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingMarket-leading — a large zero-torque mallet with an MOI over 6,300 that stays rock-solid across the face on off-centre strikes.
Distance
ExcellentA strength, especially on long putts — the White Hot insert keeps ball speed consistent for dependable distance control.
Workability
ModestMinimal by design — a centre-shafted, toe-up zero-torque mallet built for maximum MOI and a straight stroke, not to shape putts.
Feel
ExcellentA soft, premium White Hot feel — the White Hot urethane over an aluminium backer gives a soft, quiet impact.
Sound
ExcellentA quiet, gentle note at impact — the White Hot urethane insert dampens the sound for a soft, pleasing tone.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large mallet with clean single-stripe alignment frames the ball well, though the size and centre shaft look unconventional.
