Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
Your stroke arcs and you want a compact mallet that still lets the face turn.
You putt straight back and through, or you want the softer modern face.
Pros
- Toe flow on a compact mallet, which is what the 11 cannot give you
- Weight pushed out to the wings, so a small head still holds up
- A head that won on the PGA Tour the year it launched
- Now well below current Phantom money
Cons
- Firmer at impact than the dual-milled and insert faces that replaced it
- Less stable than the mid-bend 11, which is the price of the release
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSteel and aluminium split so the mass sits outboard, and a compact head still forgives.
Distance
ExcellentBall speed holds steady off milled steel, firmer than the Phantoms that came later.
Workability
FairA low bend in the shaft frees the toe, enough for a stroke that arcs.
Feel
ExcellentSolid milled stainless, more report than cushion, which some players much prefer.
Sound
ExcellentCrisp and clean off the steel, with the alloy sole taking the edge off.
Looks at address
Class-leadingCompact for a wingback, trimmed back and finished so the sun does not bounce off it.
