Where this club lands
The field is every driver in the database that publishes both of the chart's figures — every brand, not just Bridgestone.
The head half
Head option
Across every option: this club's loft from the 10th to the 38th percentile, and length at the 33rd percentile.
Head: Loft against Length
The cloud is every driver head option on record that publishes both loft and length — 2,024 of them, binned by density.

Head geometry doesn't change with the shaft, so it's stated once. A blank cell means Bridgestone did not publish that figure — we don't estimate.
