Liked it“I did get my fastest ball speed in that test with the LS”
The low-spin head produced his fastest ball speed of the test at 168 and drops spin about 300 rpm, but shots curve more, so it stays a better-player tinkerer's club.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Fastest ball speed of the test (168 mph)
- +Spins ~300 rpm less, down in the 2,200 range
- +Front-to-back weight ports to manipulate spin
- −Mishits curve more than the higher-MOI heads
- −Low spin can fall out of the air if it gets too low
- −Really expensive
For: Higher swing speed, better players who want to keep spin down and tinker with weights
