Where it wins
- Distance85
- Feel85
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want blade looks with mallet-level forgiveness - a high-MOI wide blade with the soft White Hot feel and a moderate arc.
You putt with a straight stroke, you want a compact classic blade, or you want the newer AI-designed insert.
Pros
- An MOI of over 5,000 - unheard of in a traditional-sized blade
- 120g of tungsten and a forward CG for tighter dispersion on mishits
- The iconic soft White Hot insert with interchangeable front weights
- Balls pop off the face with improved roll
Cons
- A crank-neck moderate-arc blade - not for a straight stroke
- A wider blade than a classic Anser
- A 2022 design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional for a blade - an MOI of over 5,000 g/cm2, unheard of in a traditional-sized blade, the forward CG creating less side spin on off-centre hits for a tighter dispersion pattern, with 120g of tungsten behind the face. Among the most forgiving blade-style putters.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - balls seem to pop off the face with improved roll, and the forward weight means toe and heel strikes do not drop off as with a classic blade, the White Hot insert and forward CG giving consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
StrongA moderate-arc wide blade - the crank neck hosel yields moderate toe hang, suiting strokes with moderate swing arc and face rotation, the crank neck suiting an arced release. Good arc-fit - a moderate-to-strong-arc wide blade.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and responsive - the original-formulation White Hot insert is back with its beloved feel, sound and performance, a soft, satisfying strike. Strong feel - the iconic White Hot softness.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the White Hot insert gives a soft, muted note at impact, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and confident - a clean wide blade that frames the ball with a little more head than a thin blade, a tidy, modern shape. Among the cleaner wide blades.
