| Accuracy |
|
|
|
Average. Closed face tends to reduce fade/slice and increase
draw/hook depending on golfer's tendency. |
 |
| Distance |
|
|
|
Average. Very consistent distances. Slightly shorter than
PING ISI Tour 3W and Titleist PT15. |
 |
| Trajectory |
|
|
|
Lower ball flight and more penetrating than competing fairway
woods. |
 |
| Feel |
|
|
Solid feel with a subtle sound at impact.
Very workable design allowing shaping of shots. Minimal
feedback from clubface on slight mishits.
|
 |
| Forgiveness |
|
|
Compact head does not promote
forgiveness, however, moderate forgiveness on off-center
hits. More forgiving than it's PT 13/15 predecessor.

 |
| Looks |
| Compact steel head with volume of ~150 cc,
pear shaped, bore through
shaft, shallow face (~1.25"),
