Cross is “The Strongest Composite
on the Market.”™ This is due to a patent pending
manufacturing process in which mass is removed in 16 areas of
the club head before a carbon-composite cap is attached. Other
Carbon-Composite clubs remove weight from the crown without
maintaining the structural integrity that their single-wall
crown maintained. It’s as if they have a hole missing
in the top of the clubhead!
In special tests designed to analyze Carbon-Composite technology,
the Cross clubs actually performed with great success without
its super-light carbon-composite cap being fastened. This proves
that the Cross technology not only preserved its structural
integrity, but it actually gained strength with its weight saving
design technique. 65% of the weight of titanium and 80% of the
weight of steel could still be repositioned lower and deeper
in the clubhead for added forgiveness and playability. This
weight transfer from top to bottom produces the optimal combination
of high launch angle and low spin rate.
The Cross driver is constructed of SP700 Titanium, the same
Titanium used in the Space Shuttle to resist and reduce fatigue.
The famous 17-4 stainless steel is used for the Cross FW. Plasma
welding the 3DX driver saves more than seven grams of weight
for even greater re-distribution of weight.
