The term "Dymo" is short for dynamic moment of inertia.
In other words, Nike's latest square-like head is meant
to produce straight shots. Extra rear weighting in the
heel and toe pulls the center of gravity back, to increase
launch and lower spin. A quad-keel sole allows the head
to glide through turf, for clean contact. A lightweight
"wide body" shaftwider diameter from the grip to
6 inches above the clubheadis designed to maintain
stiffness as you swing faster. (Some ultra-lightweight
shafts are more flexible than the flex label suggests.)
