This is the White Hot XG, not the White Hot XG #7 or the White Hot XG #1. They are different models in our records, not two years of one, and each keeps its own page. See the White Hot XG #7 →See the White Hot XG #1 →

The Record

Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correct

The White Hot XG line spans three editions on our record, and its shape is a Core group that set the terms before the family branched. The Core Models, numbered 1 through 9, covered what streetdirectory.com described as variations of traditional blade or mallet putters, with the Elastometer core material and harder outer striking surface that carried the White Hot name forward, and a textured impact zone marking the sweet spot. Streetdirectory.com also credited the Core group with a modified mallet design using weighted wings in the back, aimed, in that outlet's telling, at a low and back center of gravity and increased MOI for forgiveness. Left-handed versions were part of that same reporting.

From there the line moved into the Progressive Models, represented here by the Marxman. Streetdirectory.com described a semi-circular ring of metal added to the rear of the head under the name Saturn Ring Technology, long alignment stripes for aim, and both a standard length and a long-shafted version, with an MSRP the outlet put at $189 USD. The same source folded the Marxman into a wider claim, writing that "The remaining five putters in the Progressive line are 2 Ball putters, and these have become popular with PGA Tour pros," a line that reads as much about the 2 Ball family as about the Marxman itself. Community opinion on golfreview.com leaned into that popularity from a player's seat, with one review simply praising the Marxman as popular with PGA Tour pros.

The #9 model narrows the line back down to a single, shorter-length putter, one golfreview.com review nicknamed the Phil Mickelson putter and praised for improved putting accuracy, crediting better line visibility to its shorter length. A golfreview.com user went further, writing "i've never had sensations like this. didn't missed a put under 2yrds, and got 3 over 10yrds...greatest putting i ever had," a claim worth reading as one golfer's account of one putter, not as anything the line as a whole can promise. Between the Core Models' numbered spread, the Progressive Marxman's added ring and alignment stripes, and the #9's return to a compact single release, the White Hot XG name covers a fair amount of ground, and the record here is built mostly from outside reporting and reader opinion rather than the maker's own words.
