Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks88
- Distance87
- Feel87
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You swing it above 95mph and want a compact, workable, low-spin head that still forgives the odd miss.
Your speed or strike is inconsistent — a Max model gives you far more help.
Pros
- Among the longest, most workable low-spin heads of 2024 — and a Golf Digest 2024 Hot List Gold
- Surprisingly playable for a compact tour head — off-centre hits hold up better than expected
- A quiet, refined sound and feel that better players tend to love
Cons
- A tour head — swing speeds under about 95mph should look at a Max model instead
- The compact 450cc shape and low spin punish poor strikes more than a forgiving head
- A year old — the Elyte Triple Diamond that follows tightens the spin consistency further
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongUnusually playable for a compact tour head — off-centre strikes stay closer to target than a 450cc low-spin head usually manages.
Distance
ExcellentOne of the longest drivers of its year — a low-spin, penetrating flight that rewards a fast, centred strike.
Workability
ExcellentAmong the most shapeable low-spin heads Callaway has built — it gives you full command of curve and start line.
Feel
ExcellentA brisk, cushioned-but-firm strike that lines up neatly with the sound — restrained and precise, as better players prefer.
Sound
ExcellentA short, hushed burst at impact — contained and low-key rather than the loud report of many drivers.
Looks at address
ExcellentA small tour shape with a marbled, one-off carbon top and blue accents — a lot to look at, yet it settles cleanly behind the ball.
