We tested: 34" and 35" in steel shaft

Company line: "Our multi-layer insert combines a soft, highly resilient elastomer core [which creates great feel and helps to get the ball rolling quickly] with a thin, firm outer striking surface that's fine-tuned for responsiveness."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Fans praise its clean feel— there's a noticeable cushioned effect at impact; two bold, shortened alignment bars are effective at address; you can use the alignment bars to mentally trace your swing path; it shines with speed control on tricky downhill putts; offset hosel and toe hang encourage a natural arc stroke.

CONS: Dissenters say that feel is often heard more than felt; it can be a little challenging to achieve proper pace on long putts due to the extreme softness of the face; unconventional shape has its detractors; "feel" players may want more.

"It truly is a 'marksman' given its feel, touch and directional help." — Jim Esther (20)
