Performance profile

What the reviewed evidence tells us.

Long game

Distance is in the middle band, with low driver spin and high trajectory. These results apply to the continuing model identified by the same product code; the robot test models carry and height from measured launch conditions.

Control and feel

Greenside control is below the middle band. Feel has no published rating; the continuing product identity should not be mistaken for a newly introduced model year.
