WE TESTED:
9.5°, 10.5°, HT in Fujikura REAX SuperFast 50 graphite shaft

COMPANY LINE:
"SuperFast Technology reduces total club weight to 299 grams from an average of 320 and promotes faster swing speed for added distance. The bullet-shaped head incorporates a far-back center of gravity location to launch the ball higher."

OUR TEST PANEL SAYS:
• Pros: Nascar-like graphics give it a fast, cool look; bigger guys and harder swingers find it light and easy to swing; stable through impact; a point-and-fire club, not one that begs to be worked; high, flat ball flight; easy to align because of prominent "T" on crown; produces easy right-to-left flight for many testers; mid-handicappers feel like they crush it.
• Cons: Extra-long, 46-inch shaft is too long to swing comfortably for shorter guys; shaft makes it difficult to consistently find middle of the face; some find crown graphics to be too 'busy'; low handicappers prefer a stronger, more solid feel.

"Very good carry. Balls seem to resist the force of gravity."—Drew Isaacman (8)
