WE TESTED
13°, 15°, 17° and 19° in Graphite Design JS-6 and JS-7 graphite shaft

COMPANY LINE
"Constructed of a 17-4 stainless steel body, a super-thin forged maraging crown, and strong, thin Carpenter 465 face. Weight is relocated from the hosel, crown and face to the rear sole area, to increase trajectory and accentuate gear effect."

Our Test Panel Says ...
• Pros: Small head makes it extremely nimble from rough; consistently longer than testers' current woods; long on mis-hits; more effective from the rough and fairway than the tee; natural, conventional look a favorite of traditionalists; penetrating ball flight; very good from tight and otherwise poor lies.

• Cons: Not as forgiving directionally as others tested; stock stiff shaft may not be stiff enough for fast swingers.
