Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with an arc and want a premium, fully milled traditional blade with a buttery soft feel and a pure plumber's-neck look - tour-blade quality at a value price.
You need high-MOI forgiveness, you putt with a straight face-balanced stroke, or you want a brand-name tour pedigree.
Pros
- A buttery, crisp-yet-soft feel from ultra-soft milled 304 stainless steel
- Fully precision-milled - one of the best blade putters around
- A plumber's-neck pure look with medium toe hang for arc strokes
- Premium milled quality that rivals pricier brands
Cons
- A traditional blade - low forgiveness, no high-MOI help
- Best suited to lower handicaps with a centred strike
- A value brand - less pedigree than a Scotty or Ping blade
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongA traditional blade - modest by design. The BL22 is the traditional blade model with two 10g sole weights for toe-to-heel weighting; while feel off-centre is good for a blade, it rewards a centred strike. Among the less forgiving putters - a player's blade without high-MOI help.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the milled face combined with the soft 304 stainless steel gives a great roll, the precision-milled face giving a consistent roll. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
SolidHighly workable - the plumber's-neck hosel gives a medium toe hang with full shaft offset, the toe-hang blade of the Staff Model line, built to release through impact. Among the more workable putters - a blade an arc stroke can shape.
Feel
Class-leadingBest-in-class - the milled face and ultra-soft 304 stainless steel give a buttery feel at impact that is crisp yet soft, with exceptional feedback from the 3-hour precision-milled head. Among the very best putter feels - a fully milled premium blade.
Sound
ExcellentA premium, refined note - a satisfying sound that seasoned players will appreciate, a soft, crisp acoustic. Among the better putter sounds - a refined, crisp-yet-soft note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAmong the best - the plumber's-neck hosel and shaft give a pure look on a premium milled blade, a clean, tour-style milled shape. Among the cleanest, most classic blades - compares favourably to top brands.
