Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt straight and want a mallet pitched between compact and full-size.
Your stroke arcs, or you want the softer face of a newer generation.
Pros
- The gap between Scotty's compact and wide mallets, filled properly
- A single line on a shape clean enough to aim without clutter
- Steel sole weights matched to length for a real fit
- Available now well under current Phantom money
Cons
- No toe flow at all, so an arcing stroke wants the 9.5
- Firmer at impact than the dual-milled and insert faces that replaced it
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA compact body that still spreads its weight well, sitting between the 5 and the 11.
Distance
ExcellentMilled steel gives even pace, firmer than the faces that came after it.
Workability
ModestA single mid-bend aimed down the line, set up to stop the face turning.
Feel
ExcellentSolid milled stainless through face and wings, direct under the hands.
Sound
ExcellentCrisp off the steel, softened a little by the rounded alloy sole.
Looks at address
Class-leadingOne sightline on a clean, rounded shape that gives the eye nothing to argue with.
