2. Club Positioning and Characteristics

The PRECEPT brand was developed by Bridgestone and often featured models aimed at average golfers who sought a combination of "forgiveness" and "distance."

• Target Golfer:

• Golfers with average swing speeds (where a Regular shaft is appropriate).

• Players who want to effortlessly launch the ball high and gain distance.

• Performance Profile (PD1 7W 21°):

• Focus on High Launch & Forgiveness: The combination of the generous 21° loft, high 6.1 torque shaft, and Mid Kick point results in a design that makes it easy to get the ball airborne, promotes a good draw (anti-slice), and generates a high, penetrating trajectory.

• Lightweight and Playable: The shaft weight of 58g is relatively light, designed to help golfers increase swing speed and make a more relaxed, complete swing.

This PRECEPT PD1 7W is a highly useful club, offering the utility needed to target greens from a distance, or to easily manage tricky lies like those in fairway bunkers, making it an extremely forgiving and valuable addition to the bag.
