Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel89
- Distance88
- Sound87
Watch
Rated highest for feel and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want one driver that does a bit of everything — low spin, easy launch, real forgiveness and full adjustability.
You need the very lowest spin (try the LS) or the most forgiveness possible (try the Max-K).
Pros
- The best all-rounder of the DS-ADAPT line — low spin, a simple high launch and real stability in one head
- The most adjustable of the range: two movable weights plus a 33-setting hosel
- One of the best feels of its year and a fast, forged face
Cons
- A jack-of-all-trades — the LS is longer for fast swings, the Max-K more forgiving
- Medium launch and spin suit a broad range but excel nowhere in particular
- Premium price for the full adjustable package
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentStable and consistent — a mishit toward the heel especially keeps its speed and stays near line.
Distance
ExcellentFast and long — the slippery head and large forged face push ball speed high, with a low-spin, easy flight.
Workability
FairThe most adjustable head in the range — a pair of movable sole weights plus the 33-way hosel let you set your bias and start line.
Feel
ExcellentOne of the nicest-feeling drivers in years — silky and quiet through impact, yet it still reads your strike clearly.
Sound
ExcellentA pleasant mid-toned note whose pitch tracks your strike — brighter off the heel, deeper and more muffled dead centre.
Looks at address
ExcellentA neat, contemporary shape — a dark composite top with a single, subtle aim aid, tidy and fuss-free behind the ball.
