Great distance and accuracy with legendary
forgiveness from Japan's legendary giant, Sumitomo Rubber Industries.
Don't take Srixon's word for it. Testing with real golfers shows how the Srixon
W-403 AD blasts the competition in both distance and dispersion:

How Srixon created such tremendous performance in W-403 AD woods? By utilizing
supercomputer simulation to analyze and evaluate ball club impact to optimize
construction and dimensions of clubs without ever actually fabricating one single club.
And then by employing Srixon's hugh manufacturing resources to build clubs exactly
as defined by the computer simulation. Srixon's Digital Impact Technology, that is. Here is
a brief summary of technology and performance behind W-403 AD.
- Long Distance - High Resilience
The result of Impact
Power Body - the next generation of driver technology - that not only the
club face, but the entire clubhead deforms to provide the maximum
energy transfer allowed by USGA . This clubhead deformation provides longer
contact time between ball and club to transfer more energy than other
techniques utilizing VFT or spring effect of club face. Great distance from
the Impact Power Body comes from optimum launch conditions with high launch
angle and low ball spin. To achieve optimum
deformation of the clubhead, Srixon extended the thinner wall construction
to the sole and backwall beyond just the club face.

Legendary Forgiveness
The "sweet spot" or as Srixon likes to call
it, "high COR zone," is shaped elliptically and runs from high toe to low heel
which is where most mishits actually occur.

Superior Accuracy
Srixon's Digital Impact Technology created the
optimum face bulge radius to enable side spin control for outstanding accuracy.
Also, Srixon created Auto Turn Design to promote the most accurate and
straightest drives by strategically placing the center of gravity towards the
middle of the clubhead on the lower lofts and progressively back towards the
heel on the higher lofts. A heel-placed center of gravity helps square the
clubhead for slower swingers who tend to play with the higher lofted woods. In
the lower lofts favored by fast swingers, the CG is placed towards the middle.
The position of CG is altered by modifying the shape of the neck as well as the
weight inside each specific loft so that other performance factors are not
compromised.

Great Feel
Digital Impact Technology ahs also been applied to the
acoustics of W-403 AD. A special double sound rib structure inside the crown and
sole is designed specifically to provide pleasing and responsive sound at
impact. Also the all new, proprietary SV-3000 graphite shaft created by the Digital Impact Technology
is an important factor for responsive soft feel at impact as well as for
superior distance and accuracy. |
