Where it wins
- Feel84
- Sound84
- Looks83
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a long, forgiving, straight-flying driver on a tight budget and don't need to shape shots.
You like to work the ball or want the latest ball speed — a shapeable or newer head suits you better.
Pros
- One of the best value drivers you can buy used — genuinely long and forgiving for well under £200 now
- A high-MOI, model-specific AI face that keeps mishits fast and tightly grouped
- A likeable shape and a warmer, mellower sound than the model it replaced
Cons
- Five seasons old — newer heads are meaningfully faster and more forgiving at full price
- Hard to work — the neutral-to-draw head fights a fade and shot-shaping
- The glossy crown can be reflective in bright sunlight
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongA high-MOI, do-everything head that keeps mishits fast and on target — genuinely stable, if the latest heads hold speed better still.
Distance
StrongLong for its day and remarkably consistent — ball speed sat near the year's fastest, with a tight, repeatable carry.
Workability
ModestA neutral-to-draw head that resists being shaped — fine for straight hitters, frustrating if you like to move the ball.
Feel
ExcellentA lively, energetic strike — the ball leaves the face quickly, with a feel testers rated among the club's strengths.
Sound
ExcellentA mellow, mid-loud note pitched low and round — one fitters rated above the model it replaced.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, low-profile shape that sits handsomely behind the ball, though the glossy crown can throw glare in bright sun.
