COMPANY LINE
"Our new boxer technology delivers category-leading MOI of 3,350. This results in easy-to-hit shots that are more forgiving, straighter and longer. Its cambered sole cuts through turf. Milled face grooves offer more consistency and performance."

OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...

Pros: Wide face and sweet spot mask misses; feels and looks like a driving iron; it's tough to miss with one this forgiving, with surprising carry on thin shots; nearly impossible to hit it left; boxy head sets up easily behind ball.

Cons: Head can get caught up in thick rough; squarish look can be a turnoff; muted, cushioned feel on good shots is too bland; difficult to work left or right; adequate distance, but not a cannon.

"The head correctness makes it hard not to hit the ball straight." — Chris Klamkin (2)
