Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.

You putt with a straight stroke, you want maximum forgiveness, or you prefer a softer feel.
Pros
- About 4 o'clock toe hang - for a medium-arc stroke
- Heel-toe weighting raises MOI and enlarges the sweet spot
- A classic, refined mid-mallet with cherry rings
- Customisable heel-toe sole weights for natural balance
Cons
- The shallow milling makes the feel quite firm
- Mid-mallet forgiveness - below a high-MOI mallet
- Built for a medium arc - not a straight stroke
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongStrong for a mid-mallet blade - weight moved from the centre of the head to the heel and toe (replacing it with the aluminium sole plate) to increase MOI and enlarge the sweet spot, the mid-mallet giving more forgiveness than a pure blade. More forgiving than a blade, if below a high-MOI mallet.
Distance
ExcellentSolid - the mid-milled solid 303 stainless face gives a consistent roll and pace, the milled face delivering repeatability. A dependable pace for a milled mid-mallet.
Workability
SolidA medium-arc mid-mallet - a 3/4 shaft offset and slight slant neck for about 4 o'clock toe hang and medium-plus toe flow. Good arc-fit - a medium-toe-hang mid-mallet.
Feel
ExcellentSolid, if firm - the solid 303 stainless mid-milled face feels pleasing, though the shallow milling makes the feel off the face quite firm, premium solid-milled feedback. Among the better putter feels - a firm, premium milled face.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp note - the shallow-milled solid stainless face gives a firm, crisp impact, a clean acoustic. A clean, crisp milled note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClassic and refined - the mid-mallet with a slightly more compact face height looks clean at address, with Tour-inspired 'cherry rings' and a solid-milled aesthetic. Among the cleaner mid-mallets.
