WE TESTED: 34", 35"
COMPANY LINE: "Nickel-plated head milled from 1025 carbon steel. Tungsten flange yields a low, deep CG. Designed with 'loft optimization' to produce pure roll characteristics."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS: Extremely soft; makes today's hard balls feel like balata; very little skid; ball springs off large sweet spot; extremely forgiving for heel-toe blade; practically swings itself; sight line not unanimously felt to be effective; distance control is automatic.

Crisp and responsive, lets you know immediately where you make contact. — Jon Dobberstein, 9 handicap
