“The full mallet in the modular Array line, highest MOI of the family with the same interchangeable hosels, weights and alignment plates. Most forgiving and most stable. Best for a straighter stroke, dialed in by a fitter.”
The F-3 is the full mallet of Edel's 2024 Array system — a modern, deeper head with the highest MOI of the three F-mallets. It carries the whole Array platform: four interchangeable hosels, six alignment plates and multiple sole weights, all Torx-adjustable so toe hang, weight and sightline are fit to the player. Construction is the mallets' forged 6061 aluminum frame with a forged/milled 1025 carbon steel face. Edel's weighting choice is distinctive — hollow rear corners with removable weights placed just forward of center rather than at the extreme back — which the Plugged In reviewer found gave forgiveness on par with larger traditional mallets while keeping strong distance control and a soft, low-volume 'thud.' Tested around 370g (range ~340-390g), it reads as a 'gentle giant': big and stable but not harsh. It is the most stable, straightest-stroke-friendly head in the family.
The F-3 drew the most enthusiastic individual review of the Array mallets (Plugged In Golf named it the reviewer's favorite, praising its 'gentle giant' feel), and the system as a whole earned strong 2024 coverage from Edel's respected boutique-fitter reputation. Still a low-volume premium putter, not widely owned or collected. Notable for build and fitting depth, not scarcity.
For players who want maximum stability and a big, confidence-inspiring footprint, best paired with a straighter (minimal-arc) stroke and a low-toe-hang hosel from the fitting kit. The 340-390g adjustable weight range lets a fitter tune it to green speed and tempo. Who should skip it: players who prefer a compact blade/mid-mallet look or a strong-arc stroke that wants more toe hang than the big head naturally suits — F-1, F-2 or the B-1 blade fit those better.
Sits in the 2024 high-MOI mallet field against Odyssey Ai-ONE/Ten, TaylorMade Spider Tour, Ping mallets and L.A.B. torque-balanced designs. The Array's edge is the interchangeable-component fitting system rather than a single locked-in head. Descends from Edel's long-running fitting-first putter and wedge programs.
Scored on a putter basis, and this is genuinely near the top of the mallet range. As the deepest, highest-MOI head in the Array line, the F-3 resists twisting on off-center strikes better than the fang F-2, the F-1 or the blade — the reviewer rated its forgiveness comparable to larger traditional mallets despite a weight scheme placed forward of center rather than at the extreme rear. Combined with correct fitting (a near-face-balanced hosel for a straighter stroke), it produces tight pace and line control on mis-hits. An 8 reflects full-mallet stability, one notch below only the most extreme MOI 'super-mallets.'
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
MSRP roughly $415 new. Thin 2024-boutique secondary supply; Edel holds value moderately, below Scotty Cameron. Realistic 2026 private-party value roughly $200-320 depending on condition and included components (SidelineSwap). Same Array caveat applies most to the F-3: its performance depends on the adjustable weights and chosen hosel being present — a used copy missing weights or plates is worth less and loses the fitting flexibility that justifies the platform.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
