Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel89
- Distance88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with an arc (L-Neck) or straight stroke (Single Bend) and want a clean, traditional mid-mallet with premium milled feel at a value price.
You want maximum high-MOI forgiveness, you want a fully milled head, or you want a compact blade.
Pros
- A traditional mid-mallet - more stable than a blade
- An L-Neck for toe hang or a Single Bend for face-balanced - match your stroke
- A Pure Roll+ insert with uniform speed and tighter dispersion
- Premium milled feel at genuine value (~£250)
Cons
- A mid-mallet - less MOI than a full ultra-mallet
- A MIM (not fully milled) construction at the value price
- Pick the hosel to your stroke - the L-Neck only suits an arc
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentStrong for a mid-mallet - a traditional mid-mallet that adds stability over a blade, the mid-mallet shape adding forgiveness. More forgiving than a blade, if below a full high-MOI mallet.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the multi-material Pure Roll+ face delivers uniform speed control and tighter dispersion, a consistent roll. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
SolidConfigurable, graded at the L-Neck - the Bandon comes in an L-Neck that creates toe hang for arcing strokes, or a Single Bend for a face-balanced profile. Good arc-fit as the L-Neck - choose the Single Bend for a straight stroke.
Feel
ExcellentExcellent for the price - the milled face with a groove-cut Pure Roll+ insert gives a slightly firmer yet smooth, trustworthy feel, a premium feel rivalling pricier putters. Among the better putter feels - a premium milled-and-grooved insert.
Sound
ExcellentA clean note - the saw-cut grooves are engineered to improve sound at impact, a refined acoustic. A clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClean, with smart alignment - the clean traditional mid-mallet shape with subtle milled detail, a two-tone silver-and-black finish that frames the ball for alignment. Among the cleaner mid-mallets.
