We tested: 9°, 10.5°, 12° in TFC 129D and UST Proforce V2 High Launch graphite shaft. Shaft length: 45.75"

Company line: "Optimizing the sole, crown and face structure interaction ensures maximum energy transfer to the ball. A larger profile with taller face and deeper crown produces greater forgiveness and increased ball velocity."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Outperforms all others in each category; longest in the test with a medium launch that keeps going; tightest shot dispersion; as consistent a ball flight as you will find; extra-forgiving, even on heel shots; somewhat workable despite great forgiveness; energetic feedback with no sense of twisting or turning; light, but noticeable during the swing; large sweet spot and impressive spring effect.

CONS: Burnt orange on shaft and sole has detractors; might be too much club for slower swingers; half-moon alignment aid could be a distraction.

"It's simply an outstanding performer." — Lynn Altadonna (13)
