They all share a new design with a shallower, thinner face that improves face contact, increases ball speed, and allows for high trajectory shots that catch and hold the green. Hit high ground softly. Optimized launch and spin provide stopping power and distance. Free hosel design saves weight and lowers center of gravity, optimizing launch\/spin and increasing forgiveness.
