It's for: Avids who want "help" in a traditional looking
head
Tom Stites, Director of Product Creation:
"The VR Full Cavity is bigger, more
forgiving, has more mass lower in the
cavity, a wider sole and more bounce
angle than the VR Split Cavity or VR
Blade. Really, it can be played by anyone."
How it works: Simply, the VR Full Cavity offers
more help on mis-hits (than VR Blade and VR Split
Cavity) due to a large, contoured undercut cavity
that shifts mass well behind the face. Given its wide
sole and ample bounce angle, the VR Full Cavity
should be eminently playable in a variety of turf
conditions. The face varies in thicknessthinnest
near the topline, thickest toward the soleto lower
the club's center of gravity and to produce a high
ball flight.
