Every18 review

A friendlier high-launch steel shaft. Review take: weight and bend profile are the real fit variables; flex is only a starting label.

It ranks #30 among 57 shafts in the Every18 index. Its strongest measured area is value at 85, while feel is the relative tradeoff at 71. The $85 estimated used price is $51 below the category average of $136.
