Where it wins
- Looks86
- Distance85
- Feel84
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a mid-to-low handicapper who wants a long, low-spin, workable hybrid with the adjustability to dial in draw, fade or trajectory.
You're a higher handicapper or slower swinger who wants maximum forgiveness and easy launch over adjustability and workability.
Pros
- 3rd overall in MyGolfSpy's 2023 hybrid test - top marks for accuracy, distance and forgiveness
- Exceptional distance with low spin - PWRSHELL, an AI face and internal tungsten weighting
- Class-leading adjustability - a MyFly hosel plus three movable-weight settings for draw, fade or low spin
- A refined, confidence-inspiring shape that's workable behind the ball
Cons
- Demanding to optimise - the extensive adjustability rewards a proper fitting
- Low-spin and players'-leaning - higher handicaps may want a more forgiving, higher-launching hybrid
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongStrong for a players' hybrid - ranked 3rd overall in the 2023 hybrid test, towards the top for forgiveness as well as accuracy and distance, with the carbon crown freeing weight to boost forgiveness without sacrificing much. Excellent stability for an adjustable, low-spin head.
Distance
ExcellentExceptional, the headline trait - towards the top for distance, driven by strong ball speeds and low spin from PWRSHELL, the AI H.O.T. face and internal tungsten weighting that pushes mass low and forward. One of the longest hybrids of 2023.
Workability
StrongGenuinely workable - the two 12g movable weights can be set front (low spin), back-heel (draw) or back-toe (fade), and the refined, flatter, longer heel-to-toe shape inspires workability behind the ball. Highly workable for the category.
Feel
ExcellentPremium and refined - it impressed with both performance and feel, a solid, lively impact from the PWRSHELL face that feels every bit a players' hybrid. Among the better-feeling hybrids of its year.
Sound
ExcellentClean and solid - no acoustic complaints, with the carbon-crowned King Tec delivering a controlled, pleasing note. A solid acoustic for a premium players' hybrid.
Looks at address
ExcellentSharp and confidence-inspiring - the refined clubhead shaping with a flatter face and longer heel-to-toe design inspires confidence and workability while adding stability. One of the best-looking hybrids of 2023.
