Snake Eyes 650TH
Very different to many utilty clubs in both its looks and its iron-like shaft length and feel. It's quite heavy, but we quickly got used to that, and to our slight surprise were able to get almost as good a strike out of quite lush rough as from fairway lies.
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
This iron-style utility's hollow head, wide sole and low profile combine to deliver a higher trajectory than similarly-lofted conventional irons. Twin brass sole weights boost twist resistance on mis-hits while the 1.8mm-thin DAT16V titanium face has a higher vanadium content than 6-4 titanium for added strength.
