Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want blade looks with a little more help, and your stroke barely curves.
Your stroke arcs strongly, or you want the outright stability of a full mallet.
Pros
- Bridges blade and mallet, with alignment help a Newport cannot give
- Perimeter weight and an alloy sole plate, so it forgives more than it looks like it should
- The thinner top edge and squared rear read well over the ball
- Steel weights matched to length rather than lead tape
Cons
- Performance is competent rather than a step forward, as one tester put it
- Middling toe flow, so neither a straight nor a strongly arcing stroke is ideally served
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongA wider body with weight around its edges, more helpful than the blades it borrows from.
Distance
ExcellentMilled steel returns steady pace, the broader head holding up better than a slim blade.
Workability
SolidA plumbing neck with middling flow, suited to a stroke that curves only a little.
Feel
ExcellentGood rather than remarkable, the alloy sole taking a little edge off solid steel.
Sound
ExcellentLow and contained, with the sole plate absorbing what a solid head would ring.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA handsome shape, thin along the top and squared behind, drawn from the Newport 2.
