Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance90
- Feel86
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You swing fast, strike it well, and want the lowest-spinning, most adjustable fairway short of a tour truck.
You need forgiveness or easy launch — the DS-Adapt Max or X gives more help.
Pros
- One of the fastest, lowest-spinning fairways on the market for a strong swing
- Exceptional adjustability — a 33-setting hosel plus three sole weight ports
- A light, powerful titanium-and-carbon head with a high, penetrating flight
Cons
- A compact low-spin head that asks for a consistent, centred strike
- A high price for the fitting flexibility
- Built for a fast, skilled swing, not the average player
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongSteadier than a compact low-spin head suggests — a big low-forward tungsten weight helps, but it still wants a centred strike.
Distance
Class-leadingOne of the fastest, lowest-spinning fairways going — 60g of forward tungsten fires out a high, long, penetrating flight.
Workability
StrongA compact head a good player can flight and shape — and three sole weights let you bias the flight you want.
Feel
ExcellentLight but genuinely powerful — the titanium-and-carbon head feels fast and hot, with clean feedback off the middle.
Sound
ExcellentA firm, fast note at impact — solid and crisp, in keeping with the multi-material head.
Looks at address
ExcellentA compact, modern 174cc head that sits clean and quiet — a trim shape a better player will settle over happily.
