Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a straight-back, minimal-rotation stroke and want a stable, premium face-balanced small mallet with the legendary soft White Hot feel.
You putt with an arc (choose the slant Rossie S), you want to shape putts, or you want the newer AI-designed insert.
Pros
- A stable face-balanced small mallet for minimal-rotation strokes
- The most decorated putter insert of all time - the two-part White Hot
- An ultra-premium silver PVD finish with fine milling
- A strong roll with the legendary soft feel
Cons
- Face-balanced only - arc players need the slant Rossie S
- A 2023 carryover design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines
- A White Hot insert rather than the newer AI-designed face
By dimension

Distance
ExcellentA strength - the two-part White Hot insert delivers a strong roll for consistent pace, dependable distance control. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestA face-balanced mid-mallet - the base Rossie is a double-bend face-balanced design for minimal face rotation and arc, the slant-neck Rossie S offered separately for arc players. Limited arc-fit in this configuration - built for a straight stroke.

Sound
