The weight saved is used to make two tungsten inserts. The inserts lower the CG and reduce vibration. The face height has been increased by two millimeters to help lessen spin for a low, more penetrating ball flight.PLAYER COMMENTS"Has a nice, plain shape and straight lines. . . . Classy modified offset, a real player's hybrid. . . . I felt very confident swinging this club. . . . The impact sounds powerful, almost like a fairway wood."HOTThe sharp, metal-wood sound pleases the ears, and the look is about as traditional as this category gets. It's a definite improvement over the 3DX DC, which was no short order. Plus, the 11 loft choices can fill any distance gap.NOTSome suggest the sweet spot is a little like finding your swing: It's good when it's there, but don't expect it to show up every day.
