- A 2024 design now superseded by the 2026 Ai-Dual line
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional - the Wing Back design pushes weight out to the corners of the head to boost MOI, offering forgiving mallet stability and steady off-centre strikes from the high-MOI Ai-One platform. Among the more forgiving mallets - a high-MOI winged head.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the AI-contoured aluminium insert optimises ball speed across the entire face, helping leave putts up to 21% closer to the hole than traditional milled putters, with consistent distance control. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
FairA slight-arc mallet - the centrally located adjustable weights bring the centre of gravity forward, making the mallet feel more blade-like during the stroke with some toe hang, suiting a slight-arc release. Modest arc-fit - a slight-arc mallet, more manoeuvrable than a fully face-balanced head.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and responsive - the Ai-One insert keeps the iconic White Hot feel, an aluminium backer with a White Hot urethane striking surface, a soft, satisfying strike. Strong feel - the iconic White Hot softness.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the White Hot urethane insert gives a soft, muted note at impact, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and intuitive - a compact mallet shape framed by double wings that aligns intuitively, a clean, modern Ai-One look. Among the cleaner, more alignment-friendly mid-mallets.
