By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongStrong - a double-bend face-balanced mallet that changed the perception of face-balanced putters, a stable, alignment-led head, though tour players have since moved to fang shapes for added MOI, placing the 2-Ball just behind the most stable modern mallets. Good forgiveness - a stable face-balanced mallet.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the 2-Ball is renowned for feel on longer putts, the ball coming off the face smoothly, and testers gained 5.73 strokes from 0-22 feet. Among the better putters for distance control - a long-lag specialist.
Workability
ModestA face-balanced mallet - a double-bend face-balanced design, the putter that changed the perception of face-balanced putters for straight strokes, favouring minimal arc. Very limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
ExcellentA standout - the original White Hot insert combines the feel of a softer model with the performance of a firmer face for a soft-but-firm feel, like slipping on your comfiest trainers. Among the very best putter feels - the legendary 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, soft putter sound.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClass-leading alignment, iconic shape - one of the most iconic putter shapes in golf, the twin white balls framing the line intuitively, with a silver PVD finish and finely milled surfaces. Among the best-aligning, most iconic putters ever made.
