The Record

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

The 2018 Samurai is described by clubmaker-online.com as a "new limited run Tour model," carrying carbon steel construction and a deep milled face, per shop.torquegolf.com. That shop lists the head at 364-368 g, with a softer slant hosel and a smooth sole, and pegs toe hang around 4:00-4:30, the range you'd expect from a slant-neck build with some face rotation built in rather than a face-balanced head.

Finish is where the sources split slightly on wording. Shop.torquegolf.com names it Burning Copper, while clubmaker-online.com describes it as available in smoke or burning copper, suggesting the run may have shipped in more than one finish option even though only one is confirmed by name across both sources. Shop.torquegolf.com also attributes the design to Tohru Yamada.

On feel, the notes we have are consistently favorable but are opinion, not measurement. Shop.torquegolf.com's own copy calls it a putter of exquisite feel, and the broader community commentary echoes that with mentions of a soft look, a butter soft feel, and the deep milling on the face as a contributor to that impression. None of this is independently verified, but the two accounts agree with each other rather than contradict.

Set against the rest of the Samurai line, this 2018 release reads as a limited, Tour-oriented version, built in carbon steel with a slant hosel and mid-range toe hang rather than a face-balanced mallet treatment, and marketed on feel as much as on any technical spec.

No cited specs on record yet. Caddie tells you what IS known, honestly.
