Brushed-finish, deep-cavity, oversize head with heel notch and rear tuning port that helps better distribute weight around the head. The deep parallel cavity allows a wider, more playable sole and boosts perimeter weighted forgiveness potential.Large heads and deep, wide soles help push centre of gravity lower and deeper for easy launching. A larger rear Custom Tuning Port helps dampen vibrations for better feel off the clubface.
