Who should try it?
Compare it with the Blade 98 if you’d like a bigger head at a slightly lower listed weight.
What to watch for
Check the depth you get on your normal swing. And make sure the listing really is the v9 before you compare prices.
How to demo it
If you can, hit it next to the current v10. If you can’t feel much difference, let the price decide.
