2-Ball White Hot Mallet (first generation)

The first generation 2-Ball White Hot Mallet is where Callaway's 2-Ball line began, built around the mallet head and the White Hot insert that would come to define the family. Kingdom.golf reports the putter shipped with an out-of-production Lamkin Leather paddle grip and at a length of 34 inches, details that mark this early build as distinct from later runs in the line.

Community opinion on this release has been enthusiastic. One user described great feel and a true roll on every stroke, going so far as to call it the best putter he's ever had. That's a strong claim, and it's worth reading as one owner's experience rather than a settled verdict, but it's consistent in tone with how this first generation model is generally remembered.

Against the rest of the 2-Ball White Hot line, this release holds its place as the original expression of the mallet shape and insert combination, before later versions and grip changes came along. What's on record here is thin on spec detail beyond the grip and length reported by kingdom.golf, but what is held points to a putter that earned real affection from at least one player who spent time with it.
