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 a proven high-inertia mallet and a finish that holds up in bright light.
You want the softest strike on offer, or a small head behind the ball.
Pros
- The heaviest steel frame the line had used, aimed squarely at stopping twist
- A warm finish that stays readable in bright sun
- Sole weights could be swapped, with heavier tungsten offered
- Either a slanted neck or a square one, so the stroke decides
Cons
- Firmer through the ball than the inserts that replaced it
- Still a large head, whatever the size reduction over the model before
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe steel frame gained a third again in weight over the previous head, purely to stop it twisting.
Distance
ExcellentThe ball starts turning early off the shallow-cut face, which makes lag distance easier to read.
Workability
FairSold with a slanted neck that hangs the toe well down, or dead square if you prefer.
Feel
ExcellentSurlyn with alloy through it, firmer than later inserts but never harsh at contact.
Sound
ExcellentA short muted note, more subdued than the milled mallets it competed with.
Looks at address
Class-leadingThe warm metallic crown cuts glare in bright light, with the pale marking standing clear of it.
