15° with Fujikura Bonzai graphite shaft
COMPANY LINE
"This oversize 3-wood has a low leading edge, lower-profile steel face, a high moment of inertia for forgiveness, Carpenter 455 face insert for increased ball speed, and 44-inch Fujikura shaft for increased clubhead speed."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...
Excellent replacement club for those who struggle to hit the driver; longest hitter in the test; easy to tell where the club is at all times; forgiving on tee shots; easier to hit off the tee, less rewarding off the fairway; hits soaring shots; difficult to hit from less-than-ideal lies; shots feel like they jump off the clubface; the beast you want to reach par 5s in two and off the tee on tight par 4s.
"Love it off the tee. More difficult to use from fairway or rough." Joe Nagel (3)
