A 61-gram tungsten plate (gray outline)
accounts for one-third of the club's total
weight. This piece helps to shift mass lower
and more rearward. Company testing
reveals that shots launch 11 percent higher
with 9 percent less spin than the original
Rapture. The large, shallow face further
contributes to higher trajectory. A machined
face is plasma-welded to the steel body to
increase ball speed (and distance) on off-center
hits. You can be custom-fit for shaft
flex, length, grip size and swingweight.
