Luke Williams (Callaway)
@CallawayLuke @ChrisNoice @hashtagchad Twitter isn't the best forum for elaborating, biggest thing we've done w/RFX is lower cg which reduces back spin.
@CallawayLuke @CallawayLuke @chrisnoice @hashtagchad Less backspin can lead to more distance, you won't give up distance with RFX to get adjustability.
