Two Weight Tracks, Real Precision
The Front Track System's two sliding weights let fitters shift CG location for a genuinely wide range of spin and launch outcomes, while the Back Track added a further axis of adjustment, a level of precision that made the R15 a favorite among fitters looking to dial in an exact ball flight for a player.
Inverted Cone Technology Expands the Sweet Spot
Alongside the weight tracks, Inverted Cone Technology on the face kept the driver forgiving even as players and fitters experimented with different weight configurations to chase specific launch conditions.
