Off the tee I hit it about 220 yards. I want accuracy. All I really want out of my 4-wood is a "go to" club off the tee. I'd like to get continue to get 220 out of it, since I hit my 3-hybrid 190-200. I seldom, if ever, use the 4-wood to reach par 5's, since I don't go for many. Generally, if I need to hit the ball over 200 yards from the fairway, I'll use my 3-hybrid and take 195.
I think the current shaft is a bit light, but it's hard to tell. The swingweight is way out of line with the rest of my clubs. My driver is D2, my irons are all around D2, and the 4-wood is D8.
I like the trajectory, but it goes so far left sometimes that it endangers golfers on the back nine, never mind the next fairway over, lol.
I think the spin is good. Nice mid-high launch, with good runout.
Like I said, there are days when I hit the club well, but honestly, those are mostly days when I choke up an inch and play for a "stinger" shot, or when I try to "feather" a little fade. Full swings are VERY unpredicatable, except that the miss is almost always WAY left.
