David Franklin, Club Designer/Putters: "When designing the OZ 6, I heard comments like 'it looks like a jester's hat' and 'I'd have to get a bigger golf bag to use it.' Well, get a bigger bag, if necessary, because OZ 6 is worth it. The unconventional design is so stable that you have to work to make it wiggle during a stroke. It looks this way due to physics. Just one practice stroke will show you."
How it works: The face-balanced design has a large clubface that's milled flat for consistent output. A soft, light polymer insert (63-percent lighter than aluminum) frees up mass that's moved to the head's perimeter for added stability. Lastly, the T-shaped sight line makes it a cinch to aim.
