Where it wins
- Looks92
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You hole your share from close in and want a low, compact head that still feels like a blade.
You need help from long range, or you want the most forgiving head in the range.
Pros
- Assured from short range, where most putts are actually holed
- A blade-like strike from something that still frames the ball
- The sleekest shape of the series, low to the ground at address
- A narrow aiming mark that stops short instead of running the length of the crown
Cons
- Long putts scattered more than the steadier heads in the same range
- Less help on a miss than the standard Tour head
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSteady through impact but less help than the standard head once the putt gets long.
Distance
ExcellentReliable inside a dozen feet, but the further out you go the more it spreads.
Workability
FairThe least hang of the arc-fitted heads, so the face turns less than its compact shape suggests.
Feel
ExcellentThe ball comes off hot with the weight forward, closer to a blade than the mallets alongside it.
Sound
ExcellentDamped and even, with the angled grooves keeping any harshness out of the strike.
Looks at address
Class-leadingIt sits low and compact with a thin aiming strip that stops before the back edge.
