Why we like it

This family can fit four groups of golfers because of the design freedom of its carbon-composite-fuelled structure. Not only does it feature a carbon crown on top, but much of the sole is now formulated with a specialised combination of carbon fibres. That matrix provides shaping flexibility and maintains durability in the sole for clubs that are routinely hit off the ground. More importantly, it eliminates the need for steel support bars, saving 22 grams over a traditional steel sole, which allows for specific weighting and shaping for four kinds of players.
