9°, 10° in Aldila VS Proto graphite shaft

COMPANY LINE
"A heavier, Tour weighted head with 2-degree-open face angle for workability and feel. The thin beta-titanium crown is chemically bonded to a titanium body. A forged titanium face is laser bonded to the body for a virtually weld-free bond and added power."

OUR TEST PANEL SAYS ...
A bomber, with a flat, strong trajectory — it's meant to be smashed, crushed, hammered; working the ball is possible but somewhat optimistic — shaping your shots to maximize your drive on doglegs can be tricky; at impact, there is a metallic burst and the ball is gone; very hard feel from a very hot face; on-the-button tee shots run forever; not the most forgiving of large-headed drivers — misses can be way off-line; look is nothing special.

"Shots explode off the face." — Jim Hurley (9)
