Bernie, The 2 MV2 were 10.5 and 8.5, the 10.5 was with the Penley ETA and if anything it was straight or slight draw tendencies. I build it for a friend who swings at approx 110 to 115 but a very violent swing ( 8 hdcp ). He was in love with it as soon as he saw it. On Wednesday the shaft snapped and lost the head in 6 foot fescue 30 yds from the tee box. He went back next day and with assistance from all the marshals they found it after a 45 min search. Needless to say he was one happy camper. I reshafted it with same shaft and he was killing it again this weekend. Penley was surprised that the shaft broke since it has a special 8 inch re inforced boron tip. Also, built a 9.5 degree Baltusrol (Inception ) with a GD shaft and if anything I would say that it actually has draw tendencies and not fade. Regards, Charlie W. P.S. I will measure the height on the MV 2, the 10.5 and 8.5 did look different but I thought it was the loft?
