The company line "Several new high-performance features--including an Anti-skid Groove System insert (AGSI), moveable weight technology and a smoother, more accurate roll."

Our testers say She's a looker. "The most handsome, sophisticated putter of the bunch," proclaimed Roger Liau (handicap 17). Added Jim Perzan (9), "The black sight line was enhanced by the head's open architecture." This stylish beauty has substance, too. "Feedback was precise and immediate," said Doug Lair (10). "No mistaking off-center hits--they make a higher-pitched 'tink' than those nailed dead-on." Gary Wilson (13) said, "Directional control was first-class. The club swung effortlessly." yet, the benefit of the AGSI face insert wasn't apparent to all. "Putts appeared to roll no differently," said Gerald Holtzman (0).
