Every18 review

Higher-end carbon layup for stronger fitters. Review take: weight and bend profile are the real fit variables; flex is only a starting label.

It ranks #18 among 57 shafts in the Every18 index. Its strongest measured area is feel at 86, while speed is the relative tradeoff at 74. The $210 estimated used price is $74 above the category average of $136.
