Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks84
- Feel83
- Forgiveness82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
Your swing is on the slower side and you want an easy-launching, slice-straightening driver on a budget.
You swing at a moderate-to-fast pace, work the ball, or want to adjust loft and bias.
Pros
- Turns a slow swing into real speed and an easy, high launch
- A built-in draw and offset that help straighten a slice
- Genuinely forgiving and premium-looking for a low price
Cons
- Built for slow-to-moderate speeds — faster swings will balloon it
- Offset and draw bias fight a fade, with no way to adjust anything
- Top-end distance is modest next to a full-weight driver
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentVery stable for a value driver — a big, light head with a hotter face keeps off-centre hits fast and on line.
Distance
StrongBuilt to turn a slow swing into speed — the light build launches high and carries well, if short of a full-weight head's ceiling.
Workability
ModestA go-straight, anti-slice head — offset and internal draw weighting fight a fade, so shaping isn't on the menu.
Feel
ExcellentA surprisingly firm, punchy strike for so light a head — settled through impact, and it doesn't feel featherweight in the hand.
Sound
StrongA mid-volume, tinny note with a low undertone — even across the face, thinning only towards the toe and heel.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, steadying head in a muted two-colour finish that punches above its price — full-bodied without the exaggerated rear elongation of many GI heads.
