M1 3G

The Ray Cook M1 3G is a mallet putter that circulated as a budget option, the kind of club a golfer might pick up secondhand to try for a season rather than commit to at full retail. Mikesgolfoutlet.com listed it as a right-handed putter with a 35.00 inch steel shaft, stock grip, and a condition grade of PAR, at a price of $44.95. Golfreview.com described the construction as heel-shafted.

The reception on record leans favorably. One community note simply calls it sharp-looking and inexpensive. A reviewer at golfreview.com went further, writing that they picked up this Ray Cook M1-3G heel-shafted putter on eBay because it looked sharp and was an inexpensive mallet to try out this summer by a well-known 2nd tier putter company. That framing, a "2nd tier" maker offering a low-cost, decent-looking mallet, seems to be the general shape of the M1 3G's reputation as it's been recorded here.

There's no maker-published copy on file for this release, and nothing verified independent of these two retail and review sources. What the record shows is a putter bought and judged on value rather than pedigree, which tracks with the price point on file.
