Company line: "Head dimensions (5" x
4.9") is to edge of legal regulations. LD
(for "limit dimensions") has a "fast-back"
crown with deep dimples to push CG
lower and back. Results in high MOI
(5,000+), increased launch and carry."
Our Test Panel says: Excellent
combination of power and feel; there's a
trampoline effect without an echo; good
feel runs from head up into the arms;
crown aesthetic requires some getting
used to; pretty good forgiveness factor.
Yowza! This is a long and
ferocious beast when
you hit it square.Peter Kraus, 20 Handicap
