Where it wins
- Forgiveness88
- Feel85
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
Your swing is on the slower side and you want the easiest speed, launch and carry Callaway offers.
You swing at a moderate-to-fast pace or want to shape shots and shift the bias.
Pros
- Turns a slower swing into real speed and a high, easy-carrying flight
- Very forgiving for a featherweight — a rear weight keeps MOI high, and a Golf Digest 2026 Hot List pick
- A firm, lively feel and a quiet, classic sound from the new face
Cons
- Built for slow-to-moderate speeds; a faster swing will spin and balloon it
- Neutral and stability-first — only a mild hosel draw for shaping, no adjustable weight
- Top-end distance is modest next to a full-weight head
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentVery stable for such a light head — a rear weight pushes MOI up near a full-weight driver's, so misses stay fast.
Distance
ExcellentThe light build lets a slower swing find more speed and a high, carrying flight, though top-end distance is modest.
Workability
ModestA neutral, stability-first head — a hosel draw setting is the only shaping on offer, and it isn't strong.
Feel
ExcellentThe new three-material face gives a firm, springy strike with real pop — a lot of life for so light and forgiving a head.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, contained note at impact — quieter and more classic than a typical game-improvement driver.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, uncluttered top with just a slim pale alignment mark — quiet graphics that keep the eye on the ball.
