The Macana receives very little attention amongst a stacked lineup of putters in the Trilogy lineup. The Macana to me feels like a cross between a judge and a dagger featuring a medium sized bead but a dagger like rim (sans the incredibly deep feel). My Macana's were all max weight: 1 Retro, 1 Zero hard, 1 Zero Medium and at one point I putt and threw these.
The Macana is a pretty interesting putter it feels like it is trying to do a little bit of everything and because of that it does everything pretty much okay. As far as putting goes: I prefer the Retro and Zero Medium plastics as they have a little more give in the hand and allow you sink your grips into the putter for a strong putt. The Zero hard was excellent for driving and approaching but did receive a bit of ground action on impact. As a putting putter the Macana has a very straight flight inside the circle with a minor fade, outside the circle the Macana stays reasonably straight but does have a little hookup at the end, The Macana in my mind favors the spin putt more than the pitch putt and grip wise I would confirm that since it was nearly impossible to get a comfortable grip. As a throwing putter the Macana has a pretty straight flight with a tiny fade for drives or a predictable and smooth fade for approaching the basket. Where the high glide number comes from is the throwing number, when spin putting it the disc carries well but probably no further than any of it's stablemates but when you throw this putter it's lofty nature becomes more apparent. It's reasonably flexible and as I mentioned pretty decent at most aspects of the short game.
The Macana for putting handles wind well on spin putts as a throwing putter it doesn't quite have enough stability for stronger headwinds so keep it low and use that glide.
The macana is pretty beginner friendly it is workable for putting and throwing but as I mentioned it probably would appeal to spin putters the most.
Overall the Macana is a pretty good disc, it's very versatile and as long as you like the grip can be a deadly accurate tool in your bag. You will want to pair it with something a little more stable for headwinds and longer approaches but overall 4/5 stars suits this disc well and is worth picking up if you get a chance to see one in person.
