The weak spot — stable spin holds the flight, but ball speed drops off quickly on an off-centre hit.

Long for the money — a quick, thin-and-thick face and a steady mid flight, just short of the very fastest fairways.

A neutral, stable head — spin stays consistent shot to shot, with modest shaping for a better player.

Firm and honest on a flush hit rather than lively — plenty of information about where you caught it.

A standout — a rounded, resonant note with a metal ring that never turns shrill or loud.

An ordinary, no-frills profile — a mid-size head with a slight lean to the heel, easy enough to sit behind.
