Air-X

The lightweight head still reaches the 5,000 g·cm² MOI mark - in the neighbourhood of standard-weight drivers - with anti-slice heel weighting, a forgiving face and strike feedback that is barely noticeable. Weight moved from crown to lower rear plus a redesigned face gives strong ease-of-use forgiveness. Very forgiving for its target slow-to-moderate swinger, though MOI sits below the 10K game-improvement leaders.

At roughly 290g (Offset 277g) - about 40-50g lighter than a standard driver - the Air-X lets slower swings generate more clubhead speed and easy distance, with less distance lost on mishits and a comparative gain around 5-10 yards for the target player. Strong distance for its intended slow-to-moderate swinger, modest against faster-swing category peers.

The Air-X is built to fight a slice, not to shape shots - internal heel weighting gives a moderate draw bias in the straight-neck head and a significant one in the Offset, straightening a cut swing back to the centreline, with up to 26 yards of correction from the Offset. It imposes a bias rather than rewarding shot-shaping. Limited workability, as expected for the category.

The lightweight head feels well balanced with powerful, stable contact - a pleasant surprise against expectations of a flimsy impact, landing as a solid crack rather than a weak sensation. Solid, balanced feel for a sub-290g driver.

Impact is a medium-volume, metallic note with a deep tone that stays consistent across the face, only going dull at the edges. An acceptable but slightly tinny, metallic acoustic - middle-of-the-road for the class.

The head looks aerodynamic from every angle with a large grey appearance and visible carbon composite in the back of the crown, though the offset is apparent at address on that version while the straight-neck disguises it with paint and face angle. A clean, functional game-improvement look, with the visible offset a love-it-or-not for some eyes.
