What is different
Face and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.

Edge: the Quantum, 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.
