CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a strong arc, want a classic Anser blade with mallet-level forgiveness, exceptional feel and roll, and a confidence-inspiring shape.
You putt with a straight stroke, you are sensitive to a slightly hollow sound, or you want the newer AI-designed insert.
Pros
- Exceptional feel and roll - a 2023 Editor's Choice award
- Stability very good for a blade - MOI past 5,000
- A crank neck with a 50-degree toe hang for a strong arc
- Visually feels a little oversized - it increases confidence
Cons
- The sound is maybe a little on the hollow side
- A crank-neck strong-arc blade - not for a straight stroke
- A 2022 design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional for a blade - the stability was very good for a blade with the 50-degree toe-hang weighting, the light 6g insert helping the MOI story past 5,000, with front-corner tungsten. Among the most forgiving Anser-style blades.
Distance
A standout - the exceptional roll off this putter, the White Hot insert and forward CG giving consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
A strong-arc blade - a crank neck hosel creating moderate toe hang with a 50-degree toe-hang weighting, suited to moderate arc and face rotation, the crank neck rewarding an arced release. Excellent arc-fit - a strong-arc blade.
Feel
A standout - the White Hot insert creates a very good feel, especially with firmer golf balls, with exceptional feel earning a 2023 Editor's Choice award, a soft, satisfying strike. Among the better putter feels - the iconic White Hot softness.
Sound
A muted note with a hollow edge - the White Hot insert gives a good sound, although maybe a little on the hollow side, a soft, muted acoustic. A muted putter sound with a slightly hollow edge.
Looks at address
Clean and confidence-inspiring - although a standard size, the putter visually felt a little oversized, which increases confidence, a clean classic blade shape. Among the cleaner, more confidence-inspiring blades.
