Srixon WG504 Gunmetal
Our testers loved its slightly menacing looks. Quite weighty with a tendency for us to get a little too much into the sand. But great on firmly-played 40-50-yard punches.
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
Soft forged carbon steel head with deep gunmetal colouring and matt finish. Sole grind engineered for playability. Virtually no glare-risk here as a result of the low-sheen finish. The sole grind should facilitate open-faced, soft-landing shots around the green or from the sand. Modified box grooves designed to increase spin from all kinds of lie.
