Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with an arc, want a stable, premium rounded mid-mallet with slant-neck toe hang and the legendary soft White Hot feel.
You putt with a straight stroke (choose the face-balanced Rossie), or you want the newer AI-designed insert.
Pros
- A slant-neck Rossie that adds toe hang for arc players
- 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
- Built for an arc stroke - straight strokes want the face-balanced Rossie
- A 2021 design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines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
StrongA strong-arc mid-mallet - the Rossie S uses a slant neck with a degree of toe hang, suited to players with arc and face rotation, the slant neck rewarding an arced release versus the face-balanced double-bend. Excellent arc-fit - a strong-arc rounded mid-mallet.
