Grand Canyon Sole (Grand Canyon)
Amateurs make two main types of mistakes: topping the ball and duffing it. The DJ-6 features the newly developed G Canyon sole, which is more resistant to duffing mistakes.
The combination of height differences between the bumper sole and the canyon vance was tested repeatedly to find the optimum design, and the two sole surfaces work in synergy to create a well-balanced effect.
The bumper sole allows the head to dig into the ground, while the canyon bounce firmly grips the ground, pushing the ball forward without letting it sink too deep. This gives you the ease of hitting with a fully automatic feel that is entirely up to the club.
Optimal weight distribution design The combination of the "W reverse taper blade" and "theater blade structure" optimizes the weight distribution of the head.
Weight is placed on the top toe side of the blade and at the rear of the sole to further increase stability at impact.
Theater Blade Structure By eliminating the step in the cavity and flowing the face thickness into a theater-like shape, the vibration transmitted to the hand and the center of gravity are controlled. This achieves both the "feel" and "ease of use" that golfers desire from soft iron forging.
Head material: This is a forged head that uses S20C (mild steel), which is the softest of all head materials.
It gives golfers a feeling of the ball sticking to the club at impact.
Precision Forging The back face is precisely forged, the base is neatly prepared, and then it is finished with fine shots to make it scratch-resistant and maintain its beauty.
New High Spin Mirror Forged Face The new high spin mirror forged face is a further evolution of the manufacturing method of the conventional high spin mirror forged face, which delivers stable spin performance even in the rough, and pursues a groove shape that is right at the edge of what is permitted by the rules.
It prevents the decline in spin performance even on rough surfaces or rainy days, providing stable spin performance.

■Product Concept When developing this product, we analyzed the wedge shafts currently on the market. As a result, we found that there was no consistency in physical properties such as hardness and kick point. Therefore, with a new perspective that wedge shafts should also be selectable based on swing type, we started development by reflecting the opinions of two staff members with completely opposite swing types.

- Wedge shafts should also have performance that matches the characteristics of each golfer -
■Swing type suitable for "MCI SOLID"
-The shaft has a mid-tip action that provides a unified movement from the grip to the tip. This type of club hits by using the wrist softly, moving the head in a shallow, circular motion, and picking up the ball with the face. Golfers with this swing type are characterized by rarely taking turf even on full shots. For the approach shot, it is suitable for golfers who want to land the ball softly on the green and get it close to the pin.

■Swing type suitable for "MCI MILD"
The shaft has a medium flex with increased tip rigidity and gentle movement. This type of hits with the ball held down while keeping the wrist locked in a hand-first position. Golfers with this swing type are characterized by taking the turf firmly with a full shot, bringing the head into a sharp angle. The approach shot is suitable for golfers who want to hit a fast ball low and stop it close to the pin with spin. |
