    Why We Like It

    • Features forgiveness, lower spin and a head shape that emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency.
    • The weight-saving carbon-composite crown and sole plate allow the internal weighting to be balanced to help maximize stability.
    • External weighting includes front and back ports that can be switched to reduce spin and boost energy transfer or increase launch and forgiveness.
    • The adjustable hosel has 33 settings for tweaking ball flight low, high, left and right.
    • Aerodynamic shaping includes raising the rear skirt and softening the leading edges to reduce drag; smoother sections throughout the crown and sole further streamline the overall shape.
    • Unlike most aerodynamic shapes that raise the center of gravity and rob distance, this model houses its rear weight in lightweight aluminum to keep the center of gravity lower so that spin doesn’t get too high.
    • The interior weighting differs depending on the loft to better align with the needs of the players who generally swing faster and launch it higher (9-degree model) versus those who need the most forgiveness (higher lofts).
    • The face is designed with variable thicknesses across 15 distinct regions for more consistent speed across the face.
    • MOI Rating: HIGH
    • 9, 10.5 degrees (with a 33-way adjustable hosel)
