The Company Line
"The smaller, streamlined head is designed specifically for lower handicappers. A nonoffset design and neutral weighting mean greater workability. Center of gravity location is low and center, for midhigh trajectory."

Testers' Comments

PROS "Very workable, unlike many hybrids that only want to go straight."- Tom Jennings (handicap 9)

"Long, consistent distances due to upscale shaft."- Bob O'Brien (5)

"Cuts right through the rough."- Joe Nagel (3)

"Misses off the tee are covered up like a CIA plot. Rewarded with good distance, too."- Jeremy Ross (4)

"If distance is what you're after, Cobra is still the king of the hot face."- Steve Sesko (9)

"Toe and heel misses are gently corrected to target."- John Moore (11)

CONS "Not enough feedback—too muted."- Alan Dante (8)
