Where it wins
- Feel92
- Looks92
- Sound89
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with an arc and want a premium, fully milled high-MOI mallet you can still release - the most toe hang of any TP Reserve mallet with strong alignment and tunable sole weights.
You putt with a dead-straight stroke (choose the face-balanced M37), you want a value price, or you prefer a compact blade.
Pros
- The most toe hang of any TP Reserve mallet - 33 degrees for arc players
- A round, high-MOI head that's easy to line up
- 100% milled 303 stainless steel - a soft feel and crisp sound
- Two changeable sole weights to tune the head
Cons
- A milled mallet at a premium price
- More release than the face-balanced M37 - not for a dead-straight stroke
- Fractional 7.5g weights - a niche fitting detail
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional for a workable mallet - a round, high-MOI mallet whose balanced head makes it easy to line up and start putts on line, the mallet shape adding stability. Among the more forgiving milled mallets, though the 33-degree toe hang allows more release than the face-balanced M37.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the machined milled grooves on the milled 303 stainless steel face give a clean roll, a consistent rollout. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
FairThe most workable TP Reserve mallet - a Small Slant hosel with 33 degrees of toe hang, the most toe hang of any mallet in the lineup, geared to players with an arc. Among the more workable mallets - a round mallet that an arc putter can shape.
Feel
Class-leadingBest-in-class - the machined milled grooves reduce surface area for a softer feel at impact from the milled 303 stainless steel face, aided by a large sole plate that optimises feel, a premium milled contact. Among the very best putter feels - a fully milled premium mallet.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, crisp note - the machined milled grooves deliver a crisp, satisfying sound, a refined acoustic. Among the better putter sounds - a crisp, premium note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAmong the best - round and square at the same time (overall round but appearing square at address as a big 'T' shape), with a matte steel finish, machined radii edges, and a sightline on top plus two in the back cavity. Among the cleanest, most alignment-friendly milled mallets.
