Golf Monthly Verdict

I really liked the look of this club over the ball. It's spot-on for the kind of lies where I most want to reap the benefit of a utility – the kind of rough where a long iron would snag, but you really feel you should be able to do more than just wedge it out 50 yards. An excellent little club.

This latest TaylorMade utility has a tour-inspired small clubhead, and minimal offset to promote maximum workability. It has a versatile shallow face and a centre of gravity that's further forward than in the company's other utilities, providing a low-spinning, more penetrating ball flight.
