"Accelerated Rebound Core (ARC) is a high-rebound elastomer inside the head, directly behind the strike zone. ARC eliminates vibration and delivers a lively, solid feel. Weighs seven times less than the steel around it, creating an internal cavity."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS...
Dependable, workmanlike club; smooth, soft feel but lacks responsiveness; head deadens feel too much, can't feel mis-hits; offers enough playability; 62° is cool for 40-yard shots; wider shot disparity than others; like low, piercing flight; acceptable performance in rough, but not to standards of others; serviceable on delicate shots; sole floats through sand; forgiving enough distance-wise for middle to high handicapper.
"Won't punish your misses feel-wise." Michael Jo (12)
