Where it wins
- Feel93
- Looks91
- Sound90
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
Your stroke flows and you want a rounded mallet with no glare and a soft face.
Long putts are your weakness, or you want a long sightline to aim by.
Pros
- Softened all over, which suits anyone who finds angular mallets busy
- A black finish that takes the glare out of bright conditions
- Real toe hang from a neck shortened and moved toward the heel
- The softest face in putting, shared across the 2026 range
Cons
- Pace control suffers at range, where the head's weight works against you
- A short sightline gives less aiming help than its angular stablemates
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA big rounded body with weight well spread, and it stays put on a poor strike.
Distance
ExcellentThe weak point: a heavy head made pace hard to judge as putts got longer.
Workability
SolidA shortened plumbing neck set toward the heel hangs the toe enough for a flowing stroke.
Feel
Class-leadingCarbon steel across the face, as soft as anything Scotty has built.
Sound
Class-leadingBarely a sound at impact, the tone stopped almost before you notice it.
Looks at address
Class-leadingCurves where the 9 had corners, in a matt black that stays quiet in sun, but only a stub of a sightline.
