Where it wins
- Looks91
- Feel90
- Forgiveness89
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want the most stable head in the Tour range and your stroke curves gently.
You want a compact head, or you putt dead straight and would need the face-balanced build.
Pros
- The steadiest head of the Tour series, with the weight set deepest behind the face
- Damping behind the face that removes the buzz without deadening the strike
- Off-centre putts keep nearly all their length
- Aiming is close to automatic, thanks to the pale strip against a grey crown
Cons
- A big head that still looks like a Spider, whatever the finish
- The damping is so complete that only a bad heel strike really registers in the ear
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe deepest weight placement in the series, and a strike off the middle keeps almost all its length.
Distance
ExcellentLong putts finished closer and straighter than the effort warranted, which is the point of the mass.
Workability
FairJust under thirty degrees of hang on the slanted neck, enough for a stroke that swings gently.
Feel
Class-leadingRubber damping behind the face kills the buzz, leaving a strike that gives without going soft.
Sound
ExcellentA quiet tock that lifts in pitch as contact moves toward the toe, so the ear learns something.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA muted three-tone crown that throws back no light, with the aiming mark matching the face panel.
