The headcover shows signs of use, but the club itself has no damage that would affect play. Many clubs with a 9W-like loft tend to hook too much, but this one is very easy to handle. I never once hit a shot that resembled the dreaded "cheep-in" (a severe hook) that often occurs with other manufacturers' clubs. Production volume was quite low, making this a very rare model that rarely appears on the market. Don't miss this opportunity!
