A titanium crown accounts for just 2.6% of the overall head weight, so more weight can be focused low and deep in the head, to generate a higher launch and extra forgiveness. Moderate offset and heel-biased weighting should make it easier to square or close the face at impact, while the leading edge is suitably softened to make it more forgiving in the strike.

In July 2023, Neil became just the 9th editor in Golf Monthly's 112-year history. Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he went on to become a feature writer interviewing many of the biggest names in the game including Tiger Woods, Seve Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy and Arnold Palmer.

A 5-handicap golfer, Neil is a club member who takes a keen interest in the health of the game at grassroots level. You’ll often now find him writing about club-related issues such as WHS, membership retention and how best to bridge the gap between the range and the course.
