Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness83
- Distance80
- Feel80
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing gently or fight a slice, and want a light, easy-launching hybrid at a low price.
You swing at speed, want to work the ball, or prefer a fuller, denser feel — the Aerojet or Darkspeed fits better.
Pros
- Ultralight — genuinely helps a slow swing find speed and height
- Very forgiving with a strong, built-in draw to fight a slice
- Excellent value — one of the cheapest hybrids around
Cons
- A fixed, bonded head — no adjustability at all
- Draw-biased and offset, with little scope to shape shots
- A lighter, hollower feel and sound than a premium head
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSteady and slice-proof — a light, high-MOI head with heel weighting and a tuned face holds a mishit straight.
Distance
StrongMade to add speed for a gentle swing — an ultralight build lifts pace and carry, though it won't out-hit a standard head.
Workability
ModestBuilt to swing left — a strongly offset, draw-biased head made to erase a slice, not to shape or hold a fade.
Feel
StrongA light, brisk strike — quick off the face but a touch hollow, in keeping with the featherweight build.
Sound
StrongA higher-pitched, hollow click at impact — a shade louder and thinner than a heavier head, if never harsh.
Looks at address
StrongA big, rounded head with clear offset — plainly built to help, a touch busy for a purist, reassuring for a slicer.
