COMPANY LINE
"Our new boxer
technology delivers
category-leading MOI
of 3,350. This results
in easy-to-hit shots
that are more
forgiving, straighter
and longer. Its
cambered sole cuts
through turf. Milled
face grooves offer
more consistency
and performance."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...
Pros: Wide face and sweet spot mask
misses; feels and looks like a driving iron;
it's tough to miss with one this forgiving,
with surprising carry on thin shots;
nearly impossible to hit it left; boxy head
sets up easily behind ball.
Cons: Head can get caught up in thick
rough; squarish look can be a turnoff;
muted, cushioned feel on good shots is
too bland; difficult to work left or right;
adequate distance, but not a cannon.
"The head correctness makes
it hard not to hit the ball
straight." Chris Klamkin (2)
