Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks91
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want Spider stability behind a shape that still looks like a normal putter.
You want the softest strike in the range, or a head you can retune.
Pros
- Half the head weight sits in tungsten at the corners, so a toe strike still finishes close
- The most conventional shape in a family that otherwise looks futuristic
- The notch itself frames the ball, backed by a plain dark line
- Cheaper than the adjustable Spiders while giving up little
Cons
- The insert clicks a little more than the softest heads in the range
- Fixed weights, so the only way to change the release is to pick the other neck
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentTwo dense bars at the extremes account for a full 50 per cent of the mass, and mishits hold their pace.
Distance
ExcellentDistance judgement is what this head does best, leaving tap-ins from well outside the usual range.
Workability
ModestMass sits nearer the face than on its stablemates, freeing the toe a shade on the slanted build.
Feel
ExcellentSoft enough for the size, with a light click that stops it feeling numb.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, well-damped note that suits a head this large.
Looks at address
Class-leadingThe cut-out at the back pens the ball in, and a dark line runs through it to aim by.
