Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks91
- Feel88
- Forgiveness86
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want proven mallet stability and a stroke with a gentle curve suits you.
You want the softest strike available, or a compact head behind the ball.
Pros
- Weight pushed to both edges, so the head resists turning on a miss
- Three sole weights were supplied, so head weight could be dialled in
- A forked aiming mark scaled to the ball itself
- A smaller head than the mallets it replaced without losing the stability
Cons
- Firmer at impact than the softer inserts that followed it
- A big head by any normal measure, whatever the size saving
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA heavy steel frame over a carbon sole puts a third of the weight on each edge, and it shows on a miss.
Distance
ExcellentA dozen shallow grooves grip the cover and give a roll you can judge from range.
Workability
FairIts angled hosel leaves the toe hanging thirty degrees down, suiting a stroke that bends a little.
Feel
ExcellentThe thickened surlyn face is firm but not dead, and it reports the strike clearly.
Sound
ExcellentA contained click off the insert, quieter than the metal-faced mallets of its day.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA forked white marking sized against the ball, narrow at the face and widening behind it.
