COMPANY LINE
"This pear-profile, stainless steel head features a longer, shallower face, 'multi-relief
sole' and a lower, deeper CG for a higher, penetrating flight from tee or turf.
The Carpenter steel face insert creates maximum ball speed and hot, lively feel."
Our Test Panel Says...
• Pros: Unassuming sole makes these
easy to hit off the deck; feel in complete
control of the club during swing; like
the mid to high flight; 906F4 gets the ball
out of thick stuff with ease; better-than expected
shot correction; splendidly
responsive impact feel; spot-on accuracy
from the tee; easier to get up in the air
than previous models; quite playable.
• Cons: Marginally shorter than the
longest clubs in the group; heeled shots
tend to come off relatively weak; VS
Proto 85 shaft may be too tip-stiff for
slower swingers.
"You don't have to be the club champ to hit these where you aim." Hoai Hoang (9)
