Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness90
- Distance88
- Feel84
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You lose shots to the right and want the steadiest, highest-launching fairway in the Quantum line.
You want the most distance, the lowest spin, or a compact head — the neutral Max or Triple Diamond suits you better.
Pros
- The most stable, simplest-launching fairway in the Quantum range, built around a big 190cc head
- A draw bias that reliably straightens a slice
- A high, easy launch that's especially good off the deck
Cons
- Not the longest in the range — the draw and higher launch cost some carry
- A firm draw bias with no shaping the other way
- A large footprint that some will find bulky
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingAbout as simple as a fairway gets to launch — a big 190cc head with heel weight holds a thin, off-centre strike on line.
Distance
ExcellentLong and easy, if not the range's longest — the draw bias and higher launch trade a little carry for the extra help.
Workability
ModestA big draw machine — heel weight and a stretched head turn the ball over, leaving no room to work it right.
Feel
ExcellentA pleasing, solid hit with a big report from the centre — and a mishit still feels like you've escaped trouble.
Sound
ExcellentA big, ringing note off the centre — powerful and satisfying, dropping off only a little on a mishit.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, stretched-back head with a shallow face — plenty of reassuring shape behind the ball, if far from compact.
