Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance86
- Feel86
- Sound86
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing it fast, want a low-spin flight, but need more forgiveness than the compact Triple Diamond gives.
You want the absolute lowest spin and tightest shape control, or you swing under about 95mph.
Pros
- Low-spin, tour-level distance with more forgiveness than the compact Triple Diamond
- A 460cc head that stays workable while calming the harshest misses
- Front-or-back weighting plus an adjustable hosel dial in spin and stability
Cons
- Still a tour head — slower or less consistent swings should look at a Max model
- A touch more spin and a shade less shot-shaping than the pure Triple Diamond
- A year old — the Elyte Triple Diamond Max that follows refines it further
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongMore stable than the compact Triple Diamond — the larger 460cc body and rear weight setting hold poor strikes together better.
Distance
ExcellentA long, low-spin flight for strong swings — nearly the pure Triple Diamond's pace, with a touch more height and safety.
Workability
StrongStill very shapeable, if a shade less lively than the compact head — the bigger footprint calms the most aggressive shot-shaping.
Feel
ExcellentA firm, cushioned strike that lines up with the restrained sound — sharp, precise feedback pitched at the better player.
Sound
ExcellentA subdued, low note at impact — a touch softer than the compact Triple Diamond, damped by the extra structure behind the face.
Looks at address
ExcellentA cleanly finished tour shape, a little fuller behind the ball than the compact Triple Diamond and easier to settle over.
