Our Review:
WHAT IT DOES: When something is called “the OG,” that means the original was as good as it gets. This line, which is built on the famously soft-yet-resilient White Hot polymer insert that’s nearly old enough to drink, includes three familiar mallet shapes, three hosel variations for different stroke types and a new model that looks like it’s been around almost as long as that OG of face inserts itself.
WHY WE LIKE IT: The insert delivers a soft feel at impact with a strong rebound for better ball speed. But this is more than a retread. The White Hot adds a bit of modern touch to the OG thanks to the milled finish and the Stroke Lab shaft. This graphite-steel composition redistributes the weight of the putter closer to the hands for consistency in the rhythm and results of your putting action.

Player Comments
Low-Handicapper
"Feels really light, but when you make contact with the ball it just quietly accelerates without getting away from you. Easy to control the stroke."
Mid-Handicapper
"Such a sweet, syrupy feel. Beautiful, classic shapes. Love the satin finish. Everything proportional, clean lines."
High-Handicapper
“A classy looking putter. Soft at impact, like it’s catching the ball, yet the ball leaves the face in a solid manner.”
