Who it's for
Best for advanced power players (4.0+) who can manage a hot face who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The elongated shape extends your reach at the kitchen line, the 13mm core delivers high pop with a tighter touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.
