• Better players with faster swing speeds will benefit the most from this design. • A carbon-composite piece wraps around the back of the crown, saving weight to lower the centre of gravity for less spin. • An 85-gram tungsten sole plate (6 percent heavier than last year’s model) also serves to keep the centre of gravity low. • A redesigned interior section of the hosel frees up room for the heel side of the face to flex more efficiently. • Top 5 in Performance, low-handicaps • 15, 19 degrees (eight-way adjustable hosel)

AESTHETICS

‘It’s like putting a club on autoplay. The easier I swing it, the better it performs. Shots from 250-plus yards cut through the wind like it was nothing. Sound was that familiar Ping clap. Face is just the right depth.’ – +3-HANDICAP
