WE TESTED

COMPANY LINE
"By using a light, super thin [0.4 mm]
titanium crown, we can incorporate
XW plugs [16 grams] in the rear to
create a deeper face with a large sweet
spot, produce a penetrating ball flight
and control direction."

Our Test Panel Says...
• Pros: Plays like it has a slight left
bias, useful for natural faders; line of
flight stays pretty true, tightest side-to-side dispersion of those tested; light
but well-balanced design; shots get
airborne easily, nice high trajectory
from good lies; best-suited from the
tee; black head and lack of alignment
aid give a traditional appearance.

• Cons:Tendency to naturally fly left
can be a turnoff; impact feel is less
apparent than with others tested;
surprisingly, the weakest performer
off the ground; stock shaft doesn't
seem to hold up to aggressive swings.
