Where it wins
- Looks92
- Feel91
- Sound89
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt nearly straight and want a mid-sized mallet that hides a poor strike.
Your stroke arcs, or you want a traditional shape over the ball.
Pros
- Off-centre strikes are well hidden, and it holds up from long range
- Two full-depth lines that make the face angle obvious at address
- Softer than the Phantoms before it, without going dead
- A modern shape that still finishes to Scotty's usual standard
Cons
- The stock grip is firmer than many will want, though it holds up in the wet
- Near face-balanced, so an arcing stroke should look at the 9.5
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA ring of weight around the head hides poor strikes, and it stays stable from distance.
Distance
ExcellentWeight sitting close to the face makes the roll unusually smooth for a head this size.
Workability
ModestThe mid-bend leaves it near enough balanced, so it runs straight and rotates little.
Feel
Class-leadingDeeper milling with damping behind it, giving a soft strike that still comes off quickly.
Sound
ExcellentMore to hear than its stablemates, though it stays soft rather than sharp.
Looks at address
Class-leadingTwo lines cut from the leading edge right through the back, framing the target for you.
