COMPANY LINE
"A 3-degree-open face angle, 59-degree lie angle and neutral weighting allow better players to work the ball. The inverted crown design aligns the sweet spot and 'hot spot' to produce optimal launch conditions for more distance."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS ...
Difficult to get excited by dark gray finish with large indent on top; nice response for such a strange-looking club; tight, hard impact feel, like shots jump off face; great in windy conditions beautiful, low, drawing flight reduces backspin and produces lots of roll; can hit off the deck fairly well on par 5s; slightly shorter carry than others tested; direction isn't supremely corrected but the outcome is fine.
"Nice playability for a big head. I even hit controlled power fades." Bob O'Brien (5)
