This putter boasts a somewhat chunky design characterized by larger, well-defined shoulders near the back cavity. If you take a closer look at the bumpers, you’ll notice they feature a clean blend of rectangular shapes with softened edges—a stylish yet practical approach. One of the notable features is its thicker topline, which can be beneficial for golfers looking for alignment assistance.
