Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks89
- Forgiveness84
- Distance82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a slight arc and want fang stability without a slab of a head over the ball.
Your stroke runs dead straight, or you want a soft face at impact.
Pros
- Only the Tomcat 14 resists twisting more, and this head is much easier to sit behind
- Twenty-one degrees of toe hang, so an arcing stroke gets a proper fit rather than a compromise
- Available with a shaft that adjusts across four inches, so length can be fitted
- A hard face that reports where on the head you struck it
Cons
- No speed-correcting grooves on the face, so a toe strike still finishes short
- Firm throughout, which rules it out if you want a soft insert
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentTwo rear prongs push mass out to the corners, leaving only the Tomcat steadier in this range.
Distance
ExcellentA hard, flat face returns steady ball speed, which stops long putts dying short.
Workability
FairTwenty-one degrees of hang off the slant neck lets the head turn a little through impact.
Feel
ExcellentMachined steel with nothing soft behind it, so your hands read the strike position straight away.
Sound
StrongImpact lands brief and hard, with a change in tone off-centre that locates the strike for you.
Looks at address
ExcellentA shape that reads like a blade over the ball until the two rear wings register.
