Darkspeed LS
Why we like it
This clubhead’s lightweight titanium construction (compared to traditional stainless steel) provides more discretionary mass to move the centre of gravity as low and as far forward as possible. That makes this compact head ideal for better ball-strikers looking to maximise distance through low spin. The titanium face might not generate more ball speed, but by lowering the centre of gravity and raising the launch angle, the head creates more distance. Also enhancing distance is the L-shaped face that wraps under the sole with 15 thickness regions for better ball speed across a wider area.
Darkspeed LS
- A multi-material construction pairs a titanium body and face with a lightweight carbon-composite crown and heavy tungsten sole weights.
- Three interchangeable sole weights can lower spin or tweak fades and slices.
- 13, 14.5, 17.5 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel).
Top 5 best rated, fairway woods, middle-handicaps
“This is the stealth bomber of fairway woods. Glides through the hitting zone and sends the ball into flight with urgency. Little sacrifice in distance on mis-hits.”
