Last updated:
RRP: From £109

TECH TALK The thermoplastic-elastomer insert is designed to produce a soft feel yet make the ball come off the face as fast as a steel-faced putter. The crimson, white and black alignment aid (offered on all models except the Pickemup) provides a lengthy, high-contrast sightline. All models are cast from 17-4 stainless steel. Custom-fitting for shaft length, loft, lie angle and grip size is available.
PLAYER COMMENTS
L “This is what I’ve been looking for.” … “It lets you think you’re going to drain the putt.”
M “The insert plays soft yet firm, and the entire thing is very stable. Surprisingly, the look isn’t distracting, though it combines various angles and circles with lines.”
HOT A very stealthy collection of shapes. Any weirdness on first blush is quickly counter-balanced by the clean, dark finish and the easy utility of the alignment art.
NOT The names. Y Worry? Hohum? Pickemup? Pickemup is what you do when you’re putting for double.
