Where it wins
- Feel82
- Sound82

Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a slice and want a forgiving, high-MOI driver that straightens the ball without ballooning, at a value used price.
You already draw the ball, want to work it, or want the latest speed - the baked-in draw and older tech will hold you back.
Pros
- A strong draw bias with heel weighting and an upright lie - over 10 yards of slice correction in testing
- More forgiving than most draw drivers, with high MOI from a 20g tungsten cartridge
- A more penetrating flight than most draw heads - spin reduced 100-150 rpm per face so it won't balloon
- A woodsy baritone sound with a stable, gratifying pop
Cons
- A dedicated draw head - it bakes in a right-to-left bias, so you can't work a fade
- A stretched, offset shape with heel bias - and the tech is a few seasons old now
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongMore forgiving than most draw drivers - a high-MOI build with a 20g tungsten cartridge and heel weighting keeps off-centre strikes fairly straight, with feedback that never turns harsh. A touch below the standard Max because the weight is heel-biased for draw rather than purely deep-back.
Distance
StrongDistance through slice correction - slicers found over 10 yards of correction plus more distance and carry as the ball straightens, helped by spin cut 100-150 rpm per face for a flight that won't balloon. Solid for the target, a touch behind the standard Max's outright number.
Workability
ModestBuilt to impose a draw rather than shape shots - a high level of draw bias from heel weighting, an upright lie and reduced face progression. The head fights one direction by design, purely a slice-correction tool.
Feel
ExcellentA wonderfully stable feel with a gratifying pop off the face - heel and toe strikes give immediate feedback without harshness, sharing the line's solid, composed impact.
Sound
ExcellentA pleasant, woodsy baritone impact note - the same warm, non-tinny acoustic as the rest of the line.
Looks at address
ExcellentA matte black crown with an exposed graphite-weave window and a gold trailing-edge pinstripe - a slightly longer, offset profile that supports the draw bias. Clean and premium, marginally below the standard Max because of the offset draw shape.
