Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness88
- Distance88
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a long, extremely forgiving hybrid with a high, low-spin flight and lots of loft and lie tuning.
You want to work the ball, need the softest feel, or want a lighter, cheaper club — the Air-X costs far less.
Pros
- One of the standout hybrids of 2025 in independent testing — long and very forgiving
- An easy, high, low-spinning flight that holds greens
- The most adjustable hybrid hosel here — a wide loft and lie range
Cons
- A neutral head with limited scope to shape shots
- A firm, middling feel rather than soft
- Premium priced for a hybrid
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentAbout as steady as hybrids get — a big, high-MOI head and a tuned face keep pace and line on almost any strike.
Distance
ExcellentLong and low-spinning — a re-worked inner weight and a hot face drive strong pace on a high, running flight.
Workability
ModestNeutral by nature — the hosel tunes loft and lie to shift trajectory, but the head flies fairly straight, not for shaping.
Feel
ExcellentA firm, forceful hit off the centre — plenty of punch at impact, sitting between the soft and the clicky in this class.
Sound
ExcellentA full, mid-toned crack at impact — steady and moderate in volume, without ring or harshness.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, full-bodied head that fills the eye — a clean, reassuring shape sitting square and easy behind the ball.
