Company line: "This lightweight club has a built-in
'left' tendency plus a deep-back center of gravity location, so it's easy to launch shots high and long. Its shallow face increases spin for longer carry distance. The club is geared to moderate swing speeds."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Natural ball flight is a high, gentle draw; has an easy-to-swing feel; clubhead has good forgiveness qualities; comfortable feel to the hands and arms through impact; triangular shape glides through thick stuff; solid 'click' at impact; shots stay in control with minimal distance loss from rough.

CONS: Some testers find it too light to swing; ball flight can be too high; playability and shot shaping are not what this is about; lacks real distance zip; bright red head can be distracting.

"Forgiving, and light enough, to swing with total confidence." — Lynn Altadonna (13)
