COMPANY LINE
"Distance corrective
technology (DCT)
combines highrebound
and energyabsorbing
polymers
to transmit equal
force across the face
to ensure solid and
consistent putts, even
on mis-hits. Polymer
face insert has supersoft
feel; titanium
insert provides max
feedback."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...
Pro: Most forgiving club we tested on offcenter
hits; if you get past the soft feel and
look, it benefits players of all abilities; heel
misses feel like center contact and yield
very good results; simple T-like alignment is
useful; contrasting gold topline helps square
blade; self-correcting distance control.
Con: Prefer feel of titanium face to polymer
one; ultra-soft, cushy polymer face can
make it difficult to gauge longer putts; long
blade is a bit cumbersome; polymer face
lacks feedback with center hits and mis-hits.
"Ideal if you don't hit it consistently
on center." Rich Bernstein (13)
