Where it wins
- Forgiveness86
- Feel86
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a straighter stroke, want an exceptionally forgiving high-MOI mallet with a soft feel, clear alignment and the handy ball-retrieval cutout.
You putt with a pronounced arc, you want to shape putts, or you dislike the ball-retrieval design.
Pros
- One of the best mallet putters - exceptionally forgiving with amplified MOI
- A dual-density PEBAX insert - soft on short putts, stable on long lags
- A ball-retrieval cutout - collect the ball without bending over
- A clear alignment aid that frames the ball
Cons
- Face-balanced - built for a straighter stroke rather than an arc
- The ball-retrieval design won't suit purists
- A 2022 design now several generations old
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional - one of the best mallet putters, an exceptionally forgiving head with perimeter weighting and amplified MOI, the stainless body and aluminium soleplate boosting MOI so it stays square through the stroke. Among the most forgiving mallets.
Distance
ExcellentA strength - the Fetch offers ample speed off the face, the dual-density PEBAX insert giving a stable feel on longer lag putts. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestA near face-balanced mallet - a face-balanced putter that suits a straighter stroke rather than an arced one, the Anser-style hosel giving a moderate toe hang for slight-arc players. Limited arc-fit - a face-balanced-leaning mallet.
Feel
ExcellentSoft and controlled - the Fetch has a soft feel, the dual-density PEBAX insert giving a soft feel on shorter putts and a stable feel on longer lags. Among the better putter feels - a soft, dual-density strike.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note - the PEBAX insert gives a soft, muted note at impact, a clean, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and alignment-led - the clear alignment aid frames the ball nicely against the face, the ball-retrieval cutout concealed neatly on top, a clean, confidence-inspiring mallet shape. Among the cleaner, more alignment-friendly mallets.
