PC I didn’t like the looks at first. But then you see the results and change your mind. I hit some poor strikes and yet they still went out to my usual 7-iron distance.

DM There’s no question the heads are pretty chunky but you soon get past that when you start hitting long, high shots with almost no effort. Very, very effective.
