We tested: 9.5°, 10.5° in Aldila NV-65, Fujikura Fit-On CG Gold, Fujikura Fit-On CG Red, Fujikura Speeder 652, Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue and Graphite Design YS-7 graphite shaft

Company line: "Our inverted crown design aligns the sweet spot and 'hot spot' to produce optimal launch conditions for more distance. Eleven percent larger face area and 'face centered' performance maximizes ball speed over the entire face."

Our Test Panel says: Reliable, middle-ofthe- pack performer; indented top seems to promote a low takeaway; looks easy—and is easy—to get airborne; very loud impact sound is offensive to some; strange-looking head squares to target easily for adequate control.

Hit it once and you'll forget it looks odd.—Robert Record, 13 Handicap
