About the "R-2" Flex

The specific R-2 flex embodies the concept that the XXIO series targeted at the time: "Increased distance and straight flight with an easy swing." It can be said that this design was very easy to hit for seniors, women, and average golfers with slower swing speeds.

This model was designed as a high-COR model at the time. However, it may not be permitted for use in competitive play under current regulations (post-2008). While perfectly fine for private rounds of golf, please be aware if you intend to use it in tournaments or competitions.
