Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a straight stroke, want a forgiving #7 fang mallet with class-leading alignment and the legendary soft White Hot feel.
You putt with an arc (choose the slant #7S), you want to shape putts, or you want the newer AI-designed insert.
Pros

- Frames the ball brilliantly - adds confidence to the line-up

Cons
- The base is face-balanced - arc players need the slant #7S
- A 2021 design now superseded by the Ai-One and Ai-Dual lines
- A White Hot insert rather than the newer AI-designed face
