Loved it

“it's hard to get mad at that shape”

The neutral standard model has a shape that is hard to dislike, excellent acoustics, and held ball speed near 150 mph with a nice flat window.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 1 cons
  • +Very neutral shape, subtle corners, clean transition from top line to shaft
  • +Ball speeds of 145-149 mph with carries around 228 yards
  • +Retains speed on low-face strikes, which is where most players live off the deck
  • −Not designed to cover up mishits; medium-flighted for better players

For: The player who wants a neutral, workable hybrid he can flight down and shape both ways.
