Design and Tech Benefits The dynamic V-shaped sole should minimise turf resistance at impact to prevent twisting for straighter shots. The head will not get snagged up in the grass and should glide into the back of the ball.

GM VERDICT A crisp sound on impact is followed by a solid, medium height ball flight that should be able to deal with any adverse weather conditions. Forgiveness isn't the best feature but there is enough there to encourage mid or low handicappers. If high ball flight is your thing this might not be for you but it is a solid performer at the top end of the market. Definitely worth taking out for a pop.
