Where it wins
- Feel86
- Looks86
- Sound84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a classic Anser blade with mallet-level forgiveness - a high-MOI head with the soft White Hot feel, adjustable weights and a moderate arc.
You putt with a straight stroke, you prioritise long-lag distance control, or you want the newer AI-designed insert.
Pros
- Nearly a third of the head is front tungsten - MOI above 5,000 in a classic blade
- 20% tighter dispersion and 15% better distance control than a comparable Cameron blade
- Ranks highly for feel - the iconic soft White Hot insert
- Two 25g adjustable weights to dial in head weight
Cons
- Below-average performance from 20 feet
- A crank-neck moderate-arc blade - not for a straight stroke
- A 2022 design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional for a blade - nearly one-third of the head weight is front-corner tungsten, pushing MOI above 5,000, and amateur testers saw 20% tighter dispersion than a comparable Cameron blade. Among the most forgiving Anser-style blades.
Distance
ExcellentStrong, with a caveat - amateur testers saw a 15% improvement in distance control versus a comparable Cameron blade, and it performs reasonably from 5 and 10 feet but below average from 20 feet. Good distance control - excellent at mid-range, a touch weaker on long lags.
Workability
StrongA moderate-to-strong-arc blade - a classically shaped heel-toe weighted Anser with a crank neck (plumber's neck) creating moderate toe hang, suited to strokes with moderate arc and face rotation, the crank neck rewarding an arced release. Good arc-fit - a moderate-to-strong-arc blade.
Feel
ExcellentA standout - the Tri-Hot 5K One ranks highly for feel, the original-formulation White Hot insert giving a soft, satisfying strike. Among the better putter feels - 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 classic - a classic Anser-style head with rounded bumpers that frames the ball cleanly, a tidy, traditional blade shape. Among the cleaner classic blades.
