Technological Powerhouse: AI Smartface and Beyond
One of the coolest features is the AI Smartface Technology. Imagine having a built-in coach! This technology utilizes real player data to optimize launch conditions and ball flight across the face, boosting consistency and distance on every swing. Additionally, micro deflections come to the rescue on off-center hits, ensuring optimal performance regardless of contact.
