Special Select Del Mar
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a strongly arced stroke and want a classic, compact heel-shafted mallet with heavy toe hang and a premium solid-milled feel.
You putt with a straight or slight-arc stroke, you want high-MOI forgiveness, or you miss often deep in the heel and toe.
Pros
- About 5 o'clock toe hang - ideal for a strongly arced stroke
- A solid 303 stainless mid-milled face - excellent soft, solid feel
- A classic, refined look with cherry rings and a flat topline
- Customisable heel-toe sole weights to tune the feel
Cons
- Anser-level forgiveness - deep heel/toe misses are punished
- Heavy toe hang - only for players with a strongly arced stroke
- Feel firms up noticeably off-centre
By dimension
Forgiveness
Blade-level - the forgiveness is akin to an Anser-style putter, small misses turn out okay but shots deep in the heel and toe will not, a compact-mallet (not high-MOI) profile. Modest forgiveness - a player's compact mallet, a touch more than a pure blade.
Distance
Solid - the mid-milled solid 303 stainless face gives a consistent roll and pace, the precise mid-milled face delivering repeatability. A dependable pace for a milled blade.
Workability
A strong-arc blade - the Del Mar offers about 5 o'clock toe hang, best suited to players with very arced putting strokes, heavy toe hang for arc players. Excellent arc-fit - among the most toe-hang putters, for a strongly arced stroke.
Feel
Soft and solid - the solid 303 stainless mid-milled face gives a soft, solid impact with excellent feel and feedback, hand-finished solid milled construction. Among the very best putter feels - a premium solid-milled face.
Sound
A muted note - the sound is somewhere between a thud and a soft click depending on the ball, a clean, solid milled acoustic. A clean, muted milled note.
Looks at address
Classic and refined - the narrower, flatter topline inspires confidence at address, with refined concave flange contours, Tour-inspired 'cherry rings' and a timeless solid-milled aesthetic. Among the best-looking compact mallets.
