Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance92
- Looks90
- Feel89
Watch
Rated highest for distance and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You swing it fast, strike it well, and want top-end speed with low spin and full shot control.
Your speed or strike is inconsistent, or you want maximum forgiveness — a Max-D or 10K head fits better.
Pros
- Among the fastest, longest drivers of 2025 — huge ball speed with genuinely low spin
- Surprisingly forgiving and straight for a compact tour head
- A class-leading adjustable hosel, plus a superb feel and a stealthy look
Cons
- A better-player head — low spin and low launch want real swing speed
- Off-centre strikes can sound harsher than some like
- Less forgiving than a big-MOI Max model if you miss the middle
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentImpressively steady for a compact 445cc tour head — straighter and less demanding of a pure strike than a low-spin head this size usually is.
Distance
Class-leadingOne of the very fastest, longest drivers of 2025 — huge ball speed in a low-spin, penetrating flight for a strong swing.
Workability
ExcellentA shot-shaper's tour head — low spin, a compact shape and a forward weight let you flight and curve it at will.
Feel
ExcellentOne of the best-feeling drivers of its year — a dense, damped strike that tells you clearly when you've found the middle.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, contained note on a flush hit, though a miss can ring out harsher than some will like.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA gorgeous, blacked-out head — small, flat-finished and moody, one of the sharpest-looking drivers of its year.
