Edel Array F-3

The Array F-3 sits in Edel's Array line as a modified mallet, though pluggedingolf.com described it more precisely as somewhere between two categories, filing it under the nickname "Modified Mallet" in their notes. amateurgolf.com framed the same head as a modern, deeper mallet design, and both outlets converged on the sense that it reads as different from what the rest of the market is putting out. amateurgolf.com put it plainly: "The head design struck me immediately. Other manufacturers have something similar, but this model is pleasantly different." pluggedingolf.com went further, calling it their favorite shape in the line, "not quite traditional but not fully modern," and pointed to specific details, a swell moving back from the face, sharper tapering, and a scoop at the back edge that mirrors the ball.

On the record, pluggedingolf.com reported the head at 370 grams, within a stated range of 340 to 390 grams, with sole weights adjustable from 5 to 25 grams and swapped with a Torx wrench. Lie was reported at 70 degrees, locked, though the same outlet also noted a +/- 2 degree customization option available at order, an inconsistency worth flagging rather than resolving. Toe hang varied by neck configuration in their testing, 25 degrees with the short plumbers neck versus 44 degrees with the slant neck, and amateurgolf.com's own build used the short plumber hosel at standard lie and 34 inches, paired with a Dual Layer flat grip and three-dot alignment. pluggedingolf.com put MSRP at $399 in one place and $399.99 in another.

On feel and sound, the reviewers largely agreed and largely praised it: pluggedingolf.com called it solid despite the multi-piece construction, soft and low in volume with more of a thud than a knock on center strikes, but firmer and louder on mishits, a clarity of feedback the outlet credited as a strength. The Community's read on the F-3, gathered separately, echoed the beautiful, clean shape and the solid feel, but flagged the head as feeling heavier than other 370 gram putters and noted that lag putts got less consistent once the 25 gram weights were installed, a wrinkle the professional reviews above don't address directly.
