CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.

You putt with a straight stroke, you want high-MOI forgiveness, or you want a value price.

- One-piece milled 303 steel - great feel and feedback
- A short plumber's neck with toe hang for an arc stroke
- Heavier tungsten heel-toe weights for stability on slight misses
Cons

- A premium milled price
By dimension
Forgiveness
Blade-level - a classic Anser 2-style blade, with heavier tungsten heel-toe weights that add stability on slight misses, a blade (not high-MOI) profile. Modest forgiveness - a player's blade, a touch squarer than the plain Newport.
Distance
Solid - the one-piece milled 303 steel face gives a consistent roll and pace, the milled face delivering repeatability. A dependable pace for a milled blade.
Workability
An arc-friendly blade - the Newport 2's short plumber's neck creates toe hang suited to an arc stroke, a moderate toe-flow neck for arc players. Good arc-fit - a moderate-toe-hang Anser 2 blade.
Feel
Soft and solid - the one-piece milled 303 steel head gives great feel and feedback, the return to one-piece milled construction improving feel. Among the very best putter feels - a premium one-piece milled face.
Sound
A muted note - the one-piece milled steel face gives a soft, clean impact, a solid milled acoustic. A clean, muted milled note.
Looks at address
Iconic and clean - the timeless Anser 2 shape with square shoulders and bumpers and a thinned, flattened top line, the most-copied blade silhouette in golf. Among the very best-looking blades.
