Where it wins
- Feel86
- Distance84
- Looks84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a mid HCP (0-20) at 85-115mph who wants driver-DNA distance + extreme forgiveness in a hybrid form factor — Ti face + Ti body + carbon crown + 91g Triple MIM tungsten in a fairway-wood-like footprint that replaces a fairway off the tee.
You want a traditional compact hybrid (this is semi-fairway-wood sized), you want max launch (the Paradym X hybrid is more launch-friendly), or the ~£380 premium pricing is out of budget.
Pros
- Reviewer testing: driver-like power with hybrid confidence — outstanding distance from Ti face + Ti body + carbon crown
- Up to 91g of tungsten with Triple MIM Weighting + larger all-Ti footprint = extreme forgiveness from the super-hybrid platform
- Slightly softer-yet-solid and purely stellar feel — premium Ti-face + carbon-crown construction
- Extensive 5-loft ladder (16°, 18°, 21°, 24°, 27°) — covers 2H through 6H range
Cons
- ~£380 MSRP — premium pricing typical of Ti-face super-hybrid category
- Larger semi-fairway-wood footprint not for golfers who want a traditional compact hybrid look
- Penetrating-flight CG bias not the right fit for golfers who want max launch
- 16° and 27° lofts are RH-only — limited LH ladder
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentManufacturer: up to 91 grams of tungsten in the head, in Triple MIM Weighting, with a significant portion strategically placed in the rear to boost forgiveness. An all-titanium body allows for a larger overall footprint designed for extreme forgiveness. Reviewer testing: the sound and feel don't waver much with strike location — face-wide consistency. Above-average forgiveness — 91g Triple MIM tungsten + larger Ti footprint = elite mishit retention engineered into the super-hybrid platform.
Distance
ExcellentManufacturer: lightweight, yet incredibly strong A.I-designed titanium face creates explosive speed and incredible distance. Reviewer testing: the head performed precisely as advertised — driver-like power with hybrid confidence — they promise outstanding distance and deliver. Same blueprint and materials as the brand's flagship driver and downsized it into this hybrid. Top-tier distance — Ti-face + driver-DNA construction = explosive ball speed.
Workability
SolidManufacturer: tungsten cartridge positioned low and forward in the sole to provide a more penetrating launch. Larger overall footprint designed for extreme forgiveness. Reviewer testing: straight ball flight. Average workability — larger forgiveness-tier footprint + low-forward CG = penetrating but launch-biased flight, not for shape-shifters.
Feel
ExcellentReviewer testing: feel and sound were described as slightly softer-yet-solid and purely stellar. Customer feedback: the head is solid with phenomenal feedback compared to other hybrids. Ti-face + triaxial carbon crown construction balances vibration. Top-tier tour-tier feel — purely stellar impact with phenomenal feedback courtesy of Ti-face + carbon-crown construction.
Sound
ExcellentReviewer testing: pleasing sound described as a solid click, neither loud nor soft, with volume and tone best described as rewarding. The sound and feel don't waver much with strike location, but it is easy to discern where the impact was. Triaxial carbon crown damps titanium vibration vs the predecessor's louder profile. Above-average tour-tier acoustic — solid rewarding click with clear positional feedback.
Looks at address
ExcellentManufacturer: all-titanium body allows for a larger overall footprint designed for extreme forgiveness. Reviewer testing: premium aesthetic with triaxial carbon crown. Larger semi-fairway-wood footprint inspires confidence at address. Above-average tour-tier address profile — premium carbon-crown semi-fairway-wood look.
