Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks92
- Feel91
- Sound89
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
Your stroke arcs and you want a wide mallet that still lets the face release.
You putt straight back and through, where the mid-bend 9 fits better.
Pros
- Forty-five degrees of hang on a wide mallet, which very few makers offer
- Off-centre strikes keep both line and pace
- Two full-depth lines through an open, uncluttered head
- The same soft milled face as the rest of the range
Cons
- The stock grip runs firm, a complaint across this family
- A wide head that a blade player may find a lot to look at
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentMissed slightly, the ball still holds its line and keeps nearly all its speed.
Distance
ExcellentPace barely suffers on an imperfect strike, which is what the wide body is for.
Workability
SolidForty-five degrees of hang off a slant neck, real release on a head this size.
Feel
Class-leadingTwice-cut stainless with damping behind, soft under the hands without losing the strike.
Sound
ExcellentA low, communicative note, a little more audible than the quieter heads in this line.
Looks at address
Class-leadingTwo lines run the whole depth of the head, and the open wings keep it uncluttered.
