Every18 review

Tour feel versus lower-launch, lower-spin control. Review take: weight and bend profile are the real fit variables; flex is only a starting label.

It ranks #24 among 57 shafts in the Every18 index. Its strongest measured area is speed at 86, while feel is the relative tradeoff at 80. The $65 estimated used price is $71 below the category average of $136.
