DS-ADAPT X R7 000
• This mid-size model caters to players looking for lower spin and greater forgiveness. • A carbon-composite crown – the thinnest in the company’s history – lowers the centre of gravity and bolsters the perimeter for greater stability on off- centre hits. • An internal bridge-like weight close to the face and slightly above the sole provides a distance boost through a low, forward centre of gravity. • Top 5 in Sound/Feel, low-handicaps • 15, 16.5, 18, 21 degrees (33-way adjustable hosel)

DS-ADAPT MAX
R7 000
• The largest head in the DS-Adapt lineup favours players looking for forgiveness and slice-correction. • A carbon-composite crown – the thinnest in the company’s history – saves mass that’s relocated low and in the heel. • Two movable sole weights (13 and
three grams) in the heel and centre allow players to favour forgiveness or draw bias.
