Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“this thing really reduces that spin axis on the golf ball”
Fitters choice winner for draw bias, with heavy heel weighting, extra loft and spin that produced a big high draw and a steep, green-holding landing angle in testing.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Heel weighting reduces spin axis and fights the slice for outside-in players
- +One degree more loft with higher launch and spin keeps the ball airborne
- +Confidence-inspiring, lofted look at address
- −Sits slightly closed at address
- −Wrong fit for high-speed, low-spin players like the tester
For: Weekend warriors and average players who cut across the ball and need slice-fighting draw bias.
