We tested: 9° and 10.5° in Graphite Design X-Quad; 9° and 12° in UST Proforce V2 65; 9° in Aldila DVS 65 graphite shaft. Shaft length: 45"
Company line: "An ultra-light magnesium crown displaces weight to the heavy steel sole. This creates an extreme CG position, low spin and high MOI for ultra-long drives. The magnesium crown and hosel also absorb more shock, for a smooth, powerful feel."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: The least spin and lowest overall ball flight; can easily sense the balance between head and shaft; strong marks for look, from its shape to uncluttered finish to small 'X' sightline on the crown; a great club in windy conditions; repeatable, consistent ball flight; good stability and head feel during the swing.
CONS: Middle-of-the-pack accuracy among clubs tested, but below-average directional forgiveness; too many testers find it lacks solid, powerful impact feel and feedback; not easy to bend shots in both directions.
"The clubhead feels like it's loading up for action on the backswing." —Jeremy Ross (4)
