How to identify this generation
- A chrome cavity with a red-and-black r5 badge high on the heel side and horizontal lines across the lower cavity.
What to notice in the specifications
- The sheet offers the AW, SW and LW separately in steel with a wedge flex (the SW also in graphite); the LW is right-hand men’s only.
