Where it wins
- Forgiveness86
- Distance85
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a straight stroke, want the widest, most stable Tri-Hot 5K blade with mallet-level forgiveness, a built-in alignment cue and the soft White Hot roll.
You putt with an arc, you are sensitive to a hollow-feeling head, or you want a budget putter.
Pros
- Significantly wider than a traditional blade - additional stability and forgiveness
- Over 5,000 MOI and a forward CG for tighter dispersion on mishits
- The White Hot insert's highly regarded feel and roll
- A two-tone body that doubles as a subtle alignment cue
Cons
- A hollow-feeling head - a concern, especially at this price
- Face-balanced only - built for a straight stroke
- A 2022 design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional - significantly wider than a traditional blade, so the body boasts additional stability and forgiveness, with over 5,000 MOI, helped by the 120g of front tungsten. Among the most forgiving blade-style putters - the widest, most stable of the line.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the forward CG creates less side spin on off-centre hits for a tighter dispersion and more chance of holing out, the White Hot insert's highly regarded roll giving consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestA face-balanced wide blade - a face-balanced double-bend design, suited to strokes with minimal swing arc and face rotation, favouring a straight stroke. Very limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
ExcellentSoft insert, hollow head - the White Hot insert's feel and roll are highly regarded, but the heavy tungsten head produced a hollow feel that is a concern, especially at this price. Good but compromised feel - the soft insert offset by a hollow-feeling head.
Sound
ExcellentA muted note with a hollow edge - the White Hot insert gives a muted note, the heavy front-weighted head sounding a touch hollow. A muted putter sound with a slightly hollow edge.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean with a built-in alignment cue - the two-tone black-and-silver steel and aluminium body creates a subtle alignment cue when squaring up to the target, a clean wide-blade shape. Among the cleaner wide blades.
