We tested: 3 (19°), 4 (22°), 5 (25°) in
Fujikura ReAx graphite shaft
Company line: "Draw-weighted
technology promotes straight shots for
slicers. The low-profile design allows
golfers to launch the ball high and
long. A 55-gram, soft-tip shaft promotes
a high ball flight."
Our Test Panel says: High draw is the
norm; great for countering a slice; fairly
forgiving; shorter than other hybrids,
but blows standard irons out of the
water; not a club for windy conditions;
unimpressive from rough.
Heel-side weighting definitely reduces
the tendency to slice.Courtland Whited, 19 Handicap
