O-Works V-Line Fang

The O-Works V-Line Fang is a crank-hosel mallet from the O-Works line, built with perimeter-weighted fangs and a Microhinge Face Insert. According to the maker's page, the putter carries high contrast Versa alignment, sole weighting, and shipped with a Superstroke grip. The maker's page describes the stainless steel Microhinge plate as co-molded into a Thermoplastic Elastomer Feel Layer, with the geometry of the hinges and urethane together said to help the ball into a better roll at impact regardless of stroke. golfshake.com's reporting adds detail on the alignment system, describing it as Versa Alignment Technology with red highlight lines, and notes a pistol grip with a ribbed reminder along with the Microhinge Insert Technology on the face.

The maker's blog pointed to Golf Magazine's Club Test as a notable outside notice for this release, citing the panel's bottom-line take that chart-topping impact feel makes this one of the best in the test, with the V-Line Fang CH delivering a high degree of control from all distances. The same panel is quoted by the maker on distance control, feel, look, and technology, touching on predictable lag putting, a soft and springy sensation, a standout black and white color scheme with prominent alignment lines, and a face with micro hinges that flex at impact for a smooth, consistent roll.

Community opinion gathered on Putter Talk rates this release at 4.75 out of 5 across the reviews on file, with praise for how it looks at address, its alignment design, and its consistent roll, weighed against a note that roll off the heel and toe isn't quite as good as other putters. golfshake.com's review is logged as positive, landing on the putter as one the reviewer says they'd switch to today. Against the rest of the O-Works line, the record here leans heavily on the Microhinge insert and the Versa alignment treatment as the two features doing the talking, with the fang-shaped perimeter weighting as the visual signature that sets this head apart from other O-Works shapes.
