By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional - the heaviest putter in the PLD range at 375g, its heft making it very stable as it skims above the turf, the large mallet improving accuracy and consistency by optimising the CG. Among the most forgiving mallets - a large, heavy, very stable head.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the Oslo 3 delivers a consistent stroke that results in an accurate putt, the deep AMP milled face and stable heft giving dependable pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
FairA slight-arc mallet - the Oslo 3 suits a slight arc, with an aluminium #3 wavy neck that gives a little more toe hang than the Hatton Oslo plus a full shaft of offset. Modest arc-fit - a slight-arc large mallet.
Feel
ExcellentFirm and milled - you get a slightly firmer feel thanks to the milled finish, a precise, firm milled strike. Good feel - a firm, premium milled sensation.
Sound
ExcellentA louder, firmer note - slightly surprising for how loud it was off the face, a firmer, more pronounced milled note. A firm, slightly loud putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentPremium and modern - the large mallet with its wavy #3 neck and premium PLD milling looks tour-grade, a standout PLD finish. Among the best-looking, most premium large mallets.
