The knocks

Loved it

“I think that is a fantastic addition”

A fantastic new high-launch, high-spin fairway wood that towers up and drops soft, ideal for slower swingers who can't hold greens.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons
  • +Launches very high with steep ~50-degree land angle for stopping power
  • +Carbon sole and raised CG add spin and peak height
  • +Deeper face and shorter length help strikes and get it out of the rough
  • −Flies shorter, gives up yardage
  • −Very specific use case, not for players who already launch high
  • −Won't escape deep, buried lies

For: Slower swing speed players who struggle to flight the ball and hold greens on long approaches, replacing a hybrid or long iron.

“it it was so fun to hit”

A niche high-launching, high-spin fairway wood built for holding greens, fun to hit but gives up distance.

+ the facts · 2 pros · 2 cons
  • +Launches very high and lands soft
  • +Very forgiving left-to-right, hard to hit sideways
  • −Flies shorter than a normal fairway wood
  • −Very specific purpose, not a distance club

For: Players who struggle to launch high and stop long approach shots on the green.
