SIK FLO M

The SIK FLO M arrived in 2022 as the smaller sibling to the FLO, and by thehackersparadise.com's reporting it came in about 10% smaller with roughly 70g of weight savings versus the FLO depending on neck option. That same outlet listed it at $449.99 USD, available from 5/31/2022, made to order with no pre-built stock, and offered in Plumber, Slant, Double Bend, and Swept neck options with a single topline alignment version. The face carries SIK's Descending Loft Technology, reported as 4, 3, 2, and 1 degree of loft running top to bottom, milled from 303 stainless steel with no insert, a solid metal design per the same source.

Reviewer opinion on the FLO M leans favorable on feel and versatility, with praise for a consistent roll across a broad range of strokes and the way its mallet-sized moi pairs with a blade-like feel, credited in part to the DLT loft setup. thehackersparadise.com summed up the shrink this way: "The FLO M may simply appear to be the FLO on a diet, but that 70g diet has created a putter that looks like a mallet and feels like a blade." Criticism centers on the look, called polarizing and unorthodox, and on the reduced face size, which some feel may not forgive off-center hits as well as the full FLO.

Against its own line, the FLO M reads as the compact, lighter-weight variant, trading mass and face area for a blade-like sensation while keeping the DLT face treatment that defines the FLO family.
