Long game
Distance is in the middle band, with low driver spin and low trajectory. The available dispersion observations do not establish that the ball corrects a slice or forgives off-centre strikes.
2025 generation
e12 Straight
e12 Straight is a three-piece ionomer option with a low-spin, low-flight profile in the retained human comparison. Its measured results support a long-game emphasis while leaving more to check around the green.
