Why We Like It
- Compared to single-piece milled versions in the company’s line, these models feature a resilient face material to provide more forgiveness.
- The polymer material in the face, known as Pebax, is found in running shoes and stretches the width of the face to provide a consistent energy transfer and soft feel.
- The array of models accommodates arcing strokes (Oslo 3, Prime Tyne 4) and those with a straighter move (Craz-E, DS72, Prime Tyne C).
- The lineup also accommodates a range of alignment elements, including contrasting line, ball width and topline.
- The standard grip is the SuperStroke Tour 2.0 PT, which is made to provide a consistent feel.
- Top 5 in Performance, high-handicaps
- Models: Craz-E, DS72, Oslo, Prime Tyne. Head weights: 360, 365 grams. Lengths: 35 inches. Loft: 3 degrees

Love the sleek look. Every line on the top of the club helped with alignment. I couldn't miss a four-footer. Distance control was spot on for longer putts.

Wayne

Pretty light in my hands. Interesting design, elaborate scoop on the back. The insert definitely creates a soft feel. Putts started and stayed on line.

Jin

Very consistent. Even mis-hits went straight and didn't lose much distance. Dense feel at impact and ultra-quiet, barely registered a sound. It's a well-balanced club so distance control was easy to dial in.

The insert is extremely soft, but somehow the sound is high-pitched. Almost like an aluminum bat sound. Looks like the flame emoji so you have to like a curvy shape.

I loved the way it sits at address. Very simple alignment. Swing weight was what I liked the most. On the lighter side so I could make an aggressive stroke.

Color scheme is pretty. Lightweight and well-balanced. A soft feel and subtle sound at impact, but it felt like it lacked power. Had to give it a little more.

Ryan

Super-soft face, so soft that I had to consciously hit putts harder. Great if you're an aggressive putter. Alignment was simple, and the balance so good I didn't even notice the weight.

Alan

Cool flame design from the face to the back. Felt very square at setup. It has a huge insert so even when I hit the ball on the heel or toe, it came off with the same speed. Love that consistency.

Molly

At first glance, it's busy-looking, but the milled lines grab your attention and get you squared up. The roll was on a ruler, straight off the face. Off-center hits still went straight but lost a little distance.

Alex

Easy to maintain a good tempo because the weight felt just right. On short and mid-range putts, all I had to do was bring the putter back and let it take over. Good results on long putts, too. Lots of confidence.

Anand

Unusual combo of soft feel with a metallic sound. Took a little time to get used to that. Ball came off clean with a pure roll. Overall, a great performer, especially on short putts.

Quiet sound, but it still made the trademark ping. Excellent roll, accurate and really good speed control. Could use more stability on longer putts.

Really comfortable weight, and the ball came off real smooth. On short putts, just get it started. Long putts, if you don't make it, you're tapping in.

Shane

The “V” reflects the versatility of a lineup that allows multiple-mallet options to attach to the two most popular shaft/neck options via a typical torque wrench.
Two hosel options include the short slant or short plumber.

A reverse plumber’s-neck hosel centers the putter’s balance point between the shaft and head to make it easier for the face to stay square to the path of the stroke.
The benefit of the hosel is that unlike other designs that reduce or eliminate torsional resistance, this version does not force the hands well forward with an angled shaft. The idea is that 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.
Models include the extremely stable Z1, which features two 85-gram heel and toe weights in the front sole of the milled-aircraft-aluminum head.

With input from Adam Scott, the traditional half-moon mallets feature the all-aluminum milled Oz.1 and the Oz.1i, which has a milled stainless-steel face insert.
Both models incorporate the sole weighting and 2-degree shaft lean that align the shaft with the putter’s center of mass so that the head remains square to the lie angle for consistent, on-target impacts.

The process cuts as many as a dozen starter blanks out of a large block of stainless steel with five-axis milling machines precisely dialing in each angle and curve to produce an affordable design.

The interchangeable steel-face and aluminum-body designs aim to give players the feel of a blade with the stability and forgiveness of a mallet.
The face is milled from forged 1025 steel, the same steel used in the company’s irons. The body is 7075 aluminum.
Heavy heel and toe sole weights, which join the front piece to the back, add mallet-level stability and keep the center of gravity forward, reminiscent of a blade.

The Ai-One comes in an array of traditional and non-traditional shapes, including the iconic 2-Ball and popular Jailbird and even one that combines the two. The secret, though, is the asymmetrical thickness pattern on the face.
Designers used AI and machine learning to explore more than 2,000 design versions to develop the face insert’s asymmetrical thickness pattern to improve off-center speed and roll for greater consistency.
The urethane coating over the soft-aluminum face insert matches that of the company’s highly favored White Hot material for soft feel.

These conventional-looking mallets come with the benefit of SeeMore’s proven alignment system for keeping the putter face square to the target.
By aligning the shaft and a red dot on the heel side of the flange, the golfer knows the putter face is not only aligned properly but the sole is flat on the ground to increase the opportunity for solid contact.
Copper weights on the heel, toe and sole (six on the HTx and four on the MDx) balance the putter’s overall head weight and center of gravity to help the face stay square to the plane of the putting stroke.
