Great to look down on with a compact head similar to Wilson's Dh6. Touch on the heavy side but easy to hit with a very crisp-sounding contact for a utility.

Designed for mid- to low-handicap players preferring a tour-size hybrid design with a slight offset. Dual screw weight ports with 8-gram copper screws are positioned in the rear heel and toe for customization while the taper progressive sole rails are designed to cut through higher grass without hampering performance from the fairway.
