The company line "Barbados has a pleasing shape wrapped around a three-line center cavity with mass at the outer edges. These features combine with RollGroove technology to deliver stability, softer feel and a strong alignment system."

Pros: "You can almost feel the face grooves grab and control the ball."
---Michael Kaye (handicap 14)
"So easy to line up, which gives you confidence on cash-in putts."
--Tom Ierubino (8)
"It wants to swing straight back and through. Pure feel is like hitting a forged iron on the button."
--Michael Jo (11)
"Feels like spreading butter on a warm dinner roll."
--Mike Cochrane (1)
"Sight lines help to see stroke back and through as it is in motion."
--Andy Simon (25)

Cons: "I would've preferred more feedback on offcenter hits. Impact is almost too soft compared to the others."
--Rich Bernstein (13)
