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

- A small slant neck for additional toe flow - good for arc players
- One-piece milled 303 steel - a premium feel
- A classic Anser 2 look with a soft tri-sole for a smooth takeaway
Cons
- Still blade forgiveness - below a high-MOI mallet

By dimension
Forgiveness
Strong for a blade - a longer blade with a larger sweet spot and more forgiveness than the Newport 2, with tungsten heel-toe weights for stability. More forgiving than a standard blade, if below a high-MOI mallet.
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 - a small slant neck that promotes additional toe flow versus the Newport 2, slant-neck toe flow for arc players. Good arc-fit - a slant-neck blade with more toe flow.
Feel
Soft and solid - the one-piece milled 303 steel head gives a premium feel, the return to one-piece milled construction improving feel and feedback. 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
Classic and clean - the long Anser 2 blade with square lines, a black alignment line and a flatter, thinner top line, a timeless solid-milled look. Among the best-looking blades.
