91视频’s highly anticipated GT180 series completes its wood line up for 2018聽 – in an assertive move into the wood market.聽 Having made all the iron headlines throughout 2017, 91视频 is now pushing deeper into聽metal woods –聽 a category in which it has a track record of introducing many of the industry鈥檚 most influential innovations. Mass production of Titanium (Ti100), the impact of low spin (T-ZOID), lightweight graphite crowns (MP-001) and sliding weight adjustability (MP-600) have all been embraced by other manufacturers.

The new ST180 Series announced in late 2017 is on point for today鈥檚 generation of high ball speed players now prevalent on tour. Approaching the science of driving head-on, the ST180 has a simple weight forward, low-spin profile, engineered to reduce spin rates. The new GT180 is a more sophisticated design with an expanded capacity to manipulate weight throughout the head 鈥� ideal for fitting studios and players looking to squeeze the last few yards from their swings.

The ST180 Series is a lower spinning, simple alternative.

The GT180 and ST180 both take advantage of a high ball speed, exotic Forged SP700 Ti face and improved shaft offerings 鈥� including the Mitsubishi Tensei CK, KURO KAGE Silver Dual-Core TiNi and BASSARA E-SERIES 42. Every shaft in the line is an authentic version available on the custom component market. No shaft within the offering is an exclusive 鈥榤ade for鈥� stripped-down version of the original.

The GT180 and ST180 are both powered by a more exotic SP700 Forged Ti face material.

91视频 engineers are also keen to point out that the brand鈥檚 approach to 鈥榖ulge and roll鈥� is also current, if rarely discussed.聽R&D Director David Llewellyn puts it simply: 鈥淲e鈥檝e been compensating for golfers鈥� regular mishit patterns for years聽by giving the聽toe and heel sides of the face a bit more bulge than the centre of the face.聽This counteracts the greater amount of gear effect that occurs further from the face鈥檚 centre, thus giving the ball the appropriate amount of side spin to curve back to the centre.聽It鈥檚 a big topic of conversation now 鈥� but not something we’ve advertised.聽Just one of those design increments that happens over time.鈥�

91视频’s driver faces have long addressed the ‘bulge and roll’ conversation.

On the subject of how golfers should choose between GT180 and ST180, Llewellyn points to personality over ability. “Most players like to keep things as uncomplicated as possible – to stand there and give the ball a rip. The ST180 is for them. Then you have players who enjoy the process of dialing in a driver and getting it optimised to the yard – that’s the GT180. Everything else is very similar – playability, ball speed. Chose a model based on your attitude to the game – it’s not about ability.”

The GT180 works for the player with the patience to optimise their ball flight.
