WE TESTED
34" and 35" in
steel shaft
COMPANY LINE
"The CNC milled head
weighs 475 grams
and the grip end is
250 grams to create a
balance point that is
75 percent higher up
the shaft than a
conventional putter.
A higher balance
point creates a tighter
end-over-end roll. It
has a double-bend,
heel-shafted hosel
configuration."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...
Pro: Parallel grooves and circular alignment
aids are surprisingly helpful; extremely soft
feel off clubface; love it, nearly automatic
from 12 feet and in; heel and toe putts roll
straight and true; get the head moving and it
nearly swings itself.
Con: More difficult to control on longer
strokes; heavy grip can make club hard to
control; tendency to blow long ones past
hole; difficult to distinguish mis-hits from
center hits; doesn't let handsy strokes make
mid-swing corrections.
"Pull it back and the weight does
the rest." Adam Zisserman (11)
