Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel87
- Sound87
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt straight and want a mid-sized mallet whose shape does the aiming.
Your stroke arcs, or you want the softer strike of a milled steel face.
Pros
- Long wings that make alignment obvious without shouting about it
- Steady for its size, helped by weight spread right out to the corners
- An aluminium face for anyone who wants a harder, quicker strike
- Available now for a fraction of current Phantom money
Cons
- Aluminium is firmer than the milled steel faces in the same 2021 range
- Face-balanced only, so an arcing stroke wants the 7.5
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentLong angular wings carry the weight outward, and the head resists turning on a miss.
Distance
ExcellentPace holds up well, the aluminium face returning a slightly quicker ball than steel.
Workability
ModestA single mid-bend aimed down the line, built to keep the face from rotating.
Feel
ExcellentAn aluminium face rather than steel, so contact is harder and more immediate.
Sound
ExcellentA short, hard note, less crisp than the steel-faced heads in the same range.
Looks at address
Class-leadingLong wings running back that do the aiming, without the bolder shaping of the 12.
