Verdict
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
The famous gut/ALU Rough hybrid in one $67.50 pack, a convenient one-time trial, but buying the two full sets separately costs about $42 per hybrid job, so it's a sampler, not a habit.
The current Pro Staff midplus—same v14 playability in classic black paint—surgical aim and plow for players who supply the pace, not free depth.
