Kalea uses product features that are relevant and beneficial to many female players, and does so with compelling, aesthetically beautiful designs and colour finishes. The woods feature optimised lofts, low/back CG locations, slot technology in the soles and Kalea SlimTech shafts with smaller tip diameters that help increase launch angle at impact. Kalea’s unique blend of features work in unison to maximise performance for slower swing speeds, generate more consistent yardage gaps throughout the set and produce noticeably higher ball flights.
W & G says, 'I instantly loved how fiery the Kalea was off the face, my fairway shots flew miles! The extremely low profile head shape (almost hybrid- like) allowed me to effortlessly sweep shots away off the tightest lies, although this doesn’t inspire confidence off the tee. The soft, thin grip felt fantastic to hold. I’m not keen on the white finish, as from experience, I find that it tarnishes easily over time and you do get that bit of added glare in bright light.
As for the strange name Kalea, I’ll overlook that?!'
