Company line: "Head dimensions (5" x 4.9") is to edge of legal regulations. LD (for "limit dimensions") has a "fast-back" crown with deep dimples to push CG lower and back. Results in high MOI (5,000+), increased launch and carry."

Our Test Panel says: Excellent combination of power and feel; there's a trampoline effect without an echo; good feel runs from head up into the arms; crown aesthetic requires some getting used to; pretty good forgiveness factor.

Yowza! This is a long and ferocious beast when you hit it square.—Peter Kraus, 20 Handicap
