By dimension
Forgiveness
Best-in-class - the highest-MOI model in the Phantom X line, essentially a 7 with rear wings drawing weight back to the corners for extraordinary forgiveness, a perimeter-weighted swept-wing design. Among the most forgiving putters - the highest-MOI Phantom X.
Distance
A standout - the milled aluminium face and high-MOI head give a consistent roll and dependable long-range pace, the stable head delivering distance control. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
A face-balanced flagship - Mid-Bend Shaft Technology makes it face-balanced, with only one neck option, best for straight-back-straight-through strokes. Very limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
Firm and solid - striking the ball produces a firm, solid feel from the milled 6061 aluminium face, a solid, stable strike. A solid feel, firmer than the milled-stainless Phantom X models.
Sound
A muted thud-tock - the sound is something between a thud and a tock, not lively but not dull, a muted, solid acoustic. A clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Bold and functional - the boldest design in the line with swept-back rear wings (hints of a Spider), with Combination Alignment of three milled topline sight dots and two sharp parallel lines. Among the most alignment-friendly mallets, if a bold shape.
