Why We Like It
- Used extensively in running shoes, the polymer in the face insert is known for its capacity to be soft and resilient in returning energy to the ball at impact.
- The insert’s low density saves weight in the face that finds its way to the heel and toe sections for additional stability on off-center hits.
- Four loft sections up and down the face provide consistent launch and speed.
- Having less loft low on the face and more loft high on the face optimizes launch whether the putter is contacting the ball on the downstroke or upswing.
- A clubfitter can adjust the putter’s total swingweight by altering the interchangeable weights in the heel and toe.
- Models: Sport 40, Sport 60, Widesport. Head weights: 330-390 grams. Lengths: 34-35 inches. Loft: 1-4 degrees.

Initially, I didn't love the look of the long putterface, but it was really stable through impact and mis-hits still provided similar feel to center hits. I made so many putts with this putter. So easy to start the ball on line.
Matt

A pleasing, crisp, productive sound at impact, like the ball is sent on its way promptly and efficiently.

Nice color. Contrast with white lines makes it easy to align the face. Face insert was very consistent. I was able to start the ball on my intended line and keep it on line. Great speed control.
Alan

The face insert is huge! These microgrooves appear as if they're up to something. They also know how to put a good roll on the ball. The putterhead swings on a very subtle arc. If you play fast greens, this might become your best friend.
Thomas

The gunmetal gray finish is a neat color. There's a lot of alignment help on the face and head, and the edges are medium soft. A very nice package. Very responsive feedback and soft feel at impact.

Doesn't swing excessively heavy. Face technology promotes good roll on longer putts. Very hard to leave a putt six to eight feet short. Very stable on short putts; very little twisting.
Robert

Matte charcoal-colored head contrasted well with the ball and white lines on the face. All allow for good setup. Soft, muted sound is one I typically don't like, but this one gave feedback when you hit the ball on the toe or heel, and then corrected these mis-hits in some manner.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5

Another classic offset blade that is well-balanced and beautiful to look at. The brushed charcoal color is pleasing to the eye. The feel is slightly different from other blades—a little softer and more muted—which I prefer.
Scott
37, Handicap 14

Mis-hits carried a distinct, audible sound, making you appreciate center strikes. Hot off the face, but it gets easier to judge distance once you got used to that.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

I struggled with this putter initially. Then I raised the toe slightly off the ground and found the sweet spot every time. Things got quieter, there was less vibration, and the ball rolled easily off the face.
Matt

Interesting looking putter in terms of the face. It's not milled the way I'd like to see. The giant, straight, white grooves are a bit off-putting. I do like the width from front to back. It looks good over the ball and gives you confidence that the putter will be more forgiving. Speed control is very easy on lag putts.
Anand

Love the insert. Super soft and pretty forgiving when hitting off the toe or heel. Long putts were fairly easy to lag close.
David

Ryan

Nothing feels wasted in terms of the weight, badging, or milling. Everything feels like it had a purpose, and it clearly shows when it comes to performance. Putts rolled well and stayed on their line, and it was easy to control speed on both short and long putts.
Peter
57, Handicap 7

I like the weight in the head. It's a little on the heavier side, but as a result you don't have to exert any extra energy on longer putts. The ball will get to the hole. At the same time, it won't overpower shorter putts. It still has good touch.
John
55, Handicap 11

Simple, straightforward design. White markings on the face made it easy to line up the ball. Putts rolled nice and soft off the face and went exactly where I aimed. Weight was very comfortable. I didn't feel like I had to provide too much power with my stroke.
Jack
35, Handicap 1

It's really boxy, which means you can use the putterhead shape to line up and square the face. The ball seems to roll the same no matter where on the face I hit it. Feeling is so soft it's like hitting a marshmallow.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6

Like the cross between a blade and mallet. Face was a little bit variable when it came to the longer putts. Some really jumped off the face and others were a little too soft. It performed much better on shorter putts. I was able to create the line I wanted to and be more aggressive.
Alejandra
26, Handicap 5

Head is a bit too bulky, but feeling is soft and quiet. Almost feels like a cotton ball is covering the face. Good news is you don't lose any power as a result of that soft feel.

Wei

I like the look of the lines on the face insert. When you hit it, there's a softness to it, bordering on pillowy soft, but there are some dead spots as well. That made it hard for me to gauge distance.

The unique reverse plumber’s-neck hosel helps to shift the putter’s balance point between shaft and head to make it easier to square the face at impact.
The benefit of the hosel is that unlike other designs that reduce or eliminate torsional resistance, this version does not force the hands forward with an angled shaft.
Because the shaft is aligned with the head’s center of mass, the putter face stays square to the path of the stroke to eliminate unreliable hand action.

Compared to the single-piece milled versions in the company’s line, these models provide more forgiveness with a greater resilient face material.
The polymer material in the face, known as Pebax, is found in running shoes. It stretches the width of the face to provide a consistent energy transfer and soft feel.
The array of models accommodates strokes with a slight arc (Anser, Anser 2D, B63) and those with a stronger arc (Anser 4).

These traditional shapes focus on custom-fitting with an array of hosel options from heel-shafted to armlock.
Like the company’s hollow-body irons, an internal polymer filling reinforces the center of the ultra-thin faces to enhance rebound, feel and forgiveness.
The face gets thinner than a penny, which saves mass that’s redistributed to the perimeter.

The three models cater to two stroke types (straight on the #8C and a slight arc on the #1 and #8S).
Models also feature different style grips depending on the stroke type, specifically an oversize pistol for quieting the hands on the straight-stroke putter and a classic pistol for ease of activating the arcing stroke.
The dense milling pattern at the center of the face becomes looser toward the heel and toe so that mis-hits receive more energy at impact for consistency across the face.
