Sonartec Md Transition Club Review:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
The Sonartec Md Transition Club is very accurate. The UST IRod shaft and head combination are perfect for this club. We found it to be particularly effective off the tee for tight holes or those holes with sharp doglegs where precise placement and accuracy are required.

| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
| Distance of the Md Transition Club was found to be superb. We found it to be much further that our comparison Titleist 980F 17 degree fairway wood. We found we could control the trajectory off the tee by how high or low we adjusted the tee. We were able to carry this club around 215-220 with a nice roll out. | ||
|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| As previously mentioned, we were able to hit low bullets or high soft shots off the tee by adjusting how high we teed the ball. Off of the fairway or out of the rough, we had no trouble getting the ball up in the air. Tight lies were found to be a bit harder as they are with any club in the bag. | ||

| Feel |
|
|
This is where Sonartec Md Transition Club shines. Like their fairway woods, the feel is extremely solid and gives the same sensation as a purely struck forged blade. The difference is that the Md Transition Club offers more forgiveness than its equivalent iron. |

| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
We found the forgiveness of the Md Transition Club to be very good. We were able to hit it anywhere on the face with very minimal distance loss. On good swings, we found that heel shots don't overly slice and toe shots don't overly hook. The ball stays very straight which increases confidence with this club. |

| Looks | ||
| The look of the Md Transition Club is striking and elegant. The head shape is a long and narrow. The dark blue head and shaft combination just stand out. Sonartec has done a good job in developing an aesthetically pleasing club. The look is distinctively Sonartec. | ||
