We tested: 4-PW in REAX Superfast Steel 90 steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.25"/26°

Company line: "The thin, flexible and fast titanium face promotes increased ball speed. The oversize, stable head is extremely forgiving and easy to hit. A cavity badge behind the face manages sound."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Powerful, long-hitting clubs; plenty of weight low drives shots up; comfortable, clean look at address; pleasing distance correction on misses; sole seems to glide, not bounce, on heavy contact; meaningful correction available on all but your worst shots; high, soft landings are perfect for those looking for more greens in regulation.

CON: Muted, almost negligible, sensation on good contact; better at finding a green than the pin; much stronger off a tee than turf.

"Very strong off a tee, they cover up mis-hits in distance and direction." — Don Wilson (12)
