Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness88
- Distance86
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want maximum forgiveness and easy distance control, whatever your standard.
You want a soft milled face, or you shape putts with a strongly arcing stroke.
Pros
- Removing mass from the centre pushes inertia up without making the head look oversized
- Four necks, thirteen grips and adjustable sole weights, so it can be fitted to any stroke
- Pace holds up on mishits, so distance control survives a bad day
- A sole cut-out lets you scoop the ball up without stooping
Cons
- Feel is medium-soft rather than genuinely plush, short of milled rivals
- At around £285 it costs more than most putters aimed at newer golfers
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentCutting the pocket out of the middle pushes mass to the edges, and the head barely reacts to a poor strike.
Distance
ExcellentPutts finish where you intended them to, with mishits losing very little of their run.
Workability
ModestFour necks are offered, but the standard build hangs close to balanced so the face resists turning.
Feel
ExcellentMedium-soft rather than plush, with the polymer behind the face taking the edge off aluminium.
Sound
ExcellentContained and low rather than sharp, unusual for a head this hollow and this light.
Looks at address
ExcellentA broad high-contrast bar down the crown, the same aiming idea PXG uses on its zero-torque model.
