The knocks

Buy it ifyou over-spin or play firm running conditions

Skip it ifyou want maximum spin or a low flight

“it's maintaining the exact same height”

The hollow-pocket redesign delivers the intended control, holding a consistent height and spin window across full and check-down shots.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 1 cons
  • +Hollow pocket behind the face replaces the Opus Platinum's tungsten top-line weight to shift CG for lower launch and lower spin
  • +Very repeatable height, 72 ft in the air on the 60-degree, and easy to flight down
  • +87-yard carry spun back to 80 yards on a full 60
  • −Full-swing 60-degree shots still didn't rip back as much as the tester wanted off a slope

For: Players who want more controllable, lower-flighting wedge shots, especially in wind or on fast greens.

“feels quite hot off the face”

The spin pocket made it feel hot off the face with roughly 1,000 RPM less spin and a higher peak height than the MG5, contrary to the penetrating-flight expectation.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 4 cons
  • +Compact head with shorter blade length and thinner topline that suits better players' eyes
  • +Soft feel off the face
  • +Lower spin could benefit players who struggle with excess spin or play firm courses where the ball takes a few bounces before checking
  • −Spin dropped notably versus the MG5 (about 8,800 vs 9,200 RPM on partial shots, larger gap on full shots)
  • −Flew higher rather than lower, not the penetrating flight the spin pocket promised
  • −Comes off the face hot, adding a couple mph of ball speed that complicates distance control on feel shots

For: Players who generate too much spin or play firm conditions and want a flighted, running wedge shot
