I love the head and finish, but the more I stepped on it, the higher the pitch sound was at impact. Sounded hollow.

I really like the appearance and the matte dark gray finish. On the bottom, the skull badging is a fun conversation piece. While this is a relative small package, it packs plenty of wallop, with a lot of juice on longer putts. I had some fear of bombing it way past the hole. On short putts, it was light, but stable enough to promote a confident stroke.

Milled head delivers good performance. Responsive feeling off the face—a little hot at first, but easy to dial in and figure out.

I could feel a little bit of a reverb in my hands with this putter. You almost feel the shaft shake after you hit it. It does have a really nice pop to it in the center of the face. The finish is really cool. It's a different type of silver. I've never seen it before, and i hope I see more of it.

I prefer a firmer-feeling putter and this is very firm. The firmest I've hit. It's not designed to thrive on off-center hits. It's a players' putter.

I like the gunmetal gray finish against the black. Looks really sharp. The smaller pistol grip is nice and feels stable in my hands. I had a good connection with it. Putter has a little more weight than the Anser, so I didn't have to force the ball to the hole. Distance control was right there on longer putts.
Wei

A very simple, understated appearance. Incredibly responsive from the first putt. Seemed to do exactly what I wanted. No surprises in how it lines you up and the ball comes off the face. If you get the line and speed correct, this will deliver.

The gray finish works well with the black alignment line. It's paired with a grip that seemingly fits in your hands comfortably. Super confident putter from six feet and in. A little less so on longer putts but they rolled out well, so the forgiveness is there.
Matt

A unique, good looking putter. Well-crafted and well-balanced. Finish looks like a cousin of gunmetal. Skulls on the sole add some flair. Milled face gets the ball rolling straight on line without much wobble or misdirection.

The shaft allows you to really feel the strike; it almost flexes a little bit at impact. The sensory feedback definitely helps control distance on long putts.
Daniel

Very firm with a lot of feedback up through the shaft. It was like hitting concrete—firm, robust, like the ball was gone before I could even feel it.
Alex
40, Handicap 11

Face is just thin enough that I had difficulty controlling speed. I would leave several short, then overcompensate and blow one way past the hole. Felt like the grip and size of the putter were forcing me to change my stroke instead of working for me.
David

The thing I liked most about this putter was the grip. It's really comfortable. It helped me square the face perfectly to the ball, which is why I have this putter so highly rated.
Robert

A little heavier for a blade. The black/gray finish is appealing. A bit of a clickier sound at impact, even in the middle of the face. If you like that sound, it doesn't lose much on the toe or heel and, with a good strike, it rolls pretty true.
Anand
43, Handicap 6

Love the milling and the skullheads on the sole of the putter. Very cool. Very well-balanced putter. Does a good job on all putts. Feedback, sound was slightly on the firmer, louder side for a milled putter. Inconsistent, too. Except for that, the putter is mint.
Peter

Alignment is not obvious because of the darker color, but it was easy to square up. Even though the head isn't heavy, it gets through the ball very easily. Not hard to get the ball to the hole on lag putts.

Matt

It's got a good look to it. The bottom is a little eclectic for my liking, but I do like the milling going through the logo on the face. Putter rolls the ball extremely well. You can really feel the head release with the lighter feel. Simple to adjust from short to long putts.

The two hosel options include short-slant or short-plumber configurations.

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 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.

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 stock heads are almost 20 grams heavier than standard models, shifting the club’s balance point lower and leading to more consistency in face rotation.
The extra mass in the head is counterbalanced with a lighter grip so that players can feel the head move naturally like a pendulum.
The increased head mass, along with heel and toe sole weights, adds stability on off-center hits for consistent rollout.
