Here’s the G2 Big Dog. The Big Dog is a CNC milled mid-mallet made of 303 stainless steel. The amount of feel that you get from it is unreal. It very nearly acts as an extension of your limbs. Heel and toe miss hits compensate very nicely and still keep course with minimal dispersion.
Optimal is really the only way to describe how well the Big Dog performs. Can you handle it?
Standard Lie: 70 degrees
Standard Loft: 3.5 degrees
Standard Headweight: 365 grams

Rory McIlroy shot, Arizona cholla cactus attack camera man at Accenture Match Play
