Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance90
- Looks89
- Feel88
Watch
Rated highest for distance and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a stable fang mallet for a mild arc and you are not paying tour prices.
You want a quiet, soft strike, or your stroke arcs a long way.
Pros
- Weight pushed out into the wings, so a missed strike costs you very little
- Distance control that holds up wherever on the face you catch it
- A fang shape that stays compact instead of sprawling behind the ball
- Two hosels offered, so an arc or a straight stroke both get served
Cons
- A bright ring at impact that will not suit everyone
- The stock grip looks cheaper than the head deserves
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentWings running back from the face carry the weight wide, and a strike off the middle barely changes the result.
Distance
Class-leadingLength holds up whether or not you find the centre, which is the best thing about this putter.
Workability
SolidThirty-three degrees of hang, a shade more release than its smaller stablemate and still only a mild arc.
Feel
ExcellentMilled steel with nothing laid over it, firm to some hands and soft to others.
Sound
ExcellentA bright, ringing note at impact that some will find cheap and others perfectly crisp.
Looks at address
ExcellentThe rear wings frame the ball without bulk, and the split finish keeps the aiming line clean.
