Long game
Distance sits above the middle band and trajectory at the high end, with low driver spin. Those results belong to the disclosed human test and are not a guarantee of extra carry.
2025 generation
ERC Soft
ERC Soft combines three-piece construction and a hybrid cover with strong distance and high-flight results in the retained human cohort. Its name gives less certainty about impact feel: that attribute is not rated in the approved snapshot.
