COMPANY LINE
"Uses a patented
brazing technology
that fuses titanium
crown with steel
body. Tungstenpolymer
XW inserts
reduce vibration.
Taller face height (by
2mm) than 3DX
means lower spin
and a more penetrating
ball flight."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...
Pros: Easiest of the four to shape
shots from fairway; shallow head knifes
through any lie; nice heft stabilizes the
swing; longer than average on good
strikes; crisp response, a solid pop on
contact, and stable at impact; best for
forgiveness, mis-hits often land only five
to 10 yards short of good shots;
produces a tight, controlled shot pattern.
Cons: Forgiving, yet results require
solid ball-striking for high handicappers
"Excellent from tough spots, the
club drives the ball from high
grass." Jon Kotraba (10)
