Independent 2023 robot test ranked this head 16th of 27 in forgiveness — best of the three scoring metrics but still below median in the category. The suspended-weight bridge design lifts effective MOI; the variable-thickness face uses 15 zones to protect ball speed across the face. Reviewer praised consistent ball speed across the face but the head is smaller than category-average (168cc) which caps off-center recovery. Acceptable but not class-leading forgiveness for a GI-class fairway of the era.

Independent 2023 robot test measured 134.7 mph ball speed (24th of 27), 209.1 yd carry, 220.4 yd total, 13.6° launch, 3,398 rpm spin, ranked 24th of 27 in distance. The test verdict: scores are below average for accuracy, distance, and forgiveness. Editorial reviewers describe it as hot and powerful off the tee — a real disconnect between subjective and robot-measured outcomes. The forward CG and forged face insert deliver tee-shot speed but distance from the deck and across the testing field lags peers.

Editorial review: extremely powerful, especially off a tee peg — it was one of the longest on test, and you can work it both ways. Round, symmetrical, neutral-CG head shape with no built-in bias; reviewer commentary highlights the ability to shape shots in either direction. The forward and low CG is speed-biased rather than draw/fade-biased. Above-average workability for the era's GI-class fairway.

Reviewer commentary describes the feel as hot and powerful with a satisfying crunch on impact and a sensation of power like the ball is jumping. Editorial review notes a firm impact with a definite sense of assurance in a well-struck shot. The bridge flexing structure transmits an energetic, lively response through the hands. Above-average tactile signature for the category.

Reviewer commentary describes impact sound as mid-pitched, metallic, and below average in volume — tight and harmonious — pretty close to perfect, not loud, but with a definite sense of assurance — a firm, muted, and tight thwack with a good snap when you find the center. Editorial review: smooth, consistent sound across the line that helps overall feel and alerts on off-center strikes. Acoustically refined for a non-tour-spec carbon-crown head.

Gloss carbon black crown with a centered alignment aid on a round, symmetrical shape that's about average in size for modern fairway woods with a face just short of medium height. Reviewer commentary notes a clean, unbusy address profile with minimal aero scheme. Editorial review describes a sleek, modern look that frames the ball nicely. Standard size at 168cc keeps the look compact and shaped. Solid mid-pack address aesthetic for the era's fairway class.
