Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Metalbone takes 4 of the six, the Invictus takes power and value.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Invictus's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Metalbone's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Invictus, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
About the same weight: 345 to 360 g and 355 g.
No edge either way
