What we say...

2013 REVIEW

Verdict: I like the more subtle crown design, but the black face and crown meant I struggled with alignment. The shiny finish gave me some glare at set-up, which was a fraction off-putting. I prefer a matt black finish personally, but I think TaylorMade have made the right decision in accommodating traditionalists.
