By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional - a modern mallet with strong forgiveness, a multi-material build with an aluminium body and stainless rear weight plate pushing mass to the rear, plus a Pick Up Pocket that removes mass from the centre to boost MOI, a high-MOI, very forgiving design. Among the most forgiving mallets.
Distance
A strength - the S COR polymer and Pyramid Face Pattern provide consistent ball speed across the face, dependable distance control. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
A versatile, stability-first mallet - four hosel options, the double bend with the least toe hang, the slant neck with the most, the plumber's neck between, plus an armlock build, the high-MOI head built for stability rather than shot-shaping. Modest arc-fit - a stability mallet offered across the hosel spectrum.
Feel
Premium and medium-soft - the Black Hawk produces a premium, medium-soft feel when rolling a urethane-covered ball, a pleasant, responsive strike. Among the better putter feels - a premium medium-soft sensation.
Sound
A quiet thud - the medium-soft feel is paired with a quiet thud sound, a muted, dampened acoustic. A clean, muted putter sound.
Looks at address
Clean and alignment-led - a fairly traditional trapezoidal body with no wings or weird outgrowths, and a wide alignment aid down the middle that contrasts strongly against the black head, a clean, modern look. Among the cleaner, more alignment-friendly modern mallets.
