Where it wins
- Distance89
- Forgiveness86
- Looks86
Watch
Rated highest for distance and forgiveness; its softest dimension is sound.
You're a mid-to-low handicapper who wants a long, low-spin, workable hybrid with the deepest adjustability available to dial in trajectory and bias.
You're a higher handicapper or slower swinger who wants maximum forgiveness and easy launch over adjustability and workability.
Pros
- An updated version of one of the best hybrids of 2023, now with even more adjustability
- Class-leading FutureFit33 hosel - 33 loft and lie settings (plus or minus 2 degrees) with SmartPad keeping the face square
- Long and low-spin - a forged PWRSHELL face insert, 15-zone H.O.T. face and internal tungsten weighting
- Wider-spaced movable sole weights for greater draw/fade control than the 2023
Cons
- Demanding to optimise - the extensive adjustability rewards a proper fitting
- Low-spin and compact players'-leaning - higher handicaps may want a more forgiving, higher-launching hybrid
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentStrong for a players' hybrid, carried over and refined - the lightweight carbon crown redistributes weight to improve speed and forgiveness, on a platform that finished 3rd overall in hybrid testing, with SmartPad keeping the face square across loft and lie settings. Excellent stability for an adjustable, low-spin head.
Distance
ExcellentExceptional, the headline trait - a forged PWRSHELL face insert and a 15-zone AI H.O.T. face deliver consistent speed across the face, with internal tungsten weighting pushing mass low and forward for low spin and distance. One of the longest hybrids available.
Workability
ExcellentEven more workable than the 2023 - the refined, compact shape caters to workability, and the two 12g sole weights are spaced wider than the previous version for a greater effect on ball flight (toe for fade, heel for draw). Among the most workable hybrids made.
Feel
ExcellentPremium and forged - the forged PWRSHELL face insert enhances ball speed and gives a solid, lively impact, in keeping with the players'-hybrid pedigree. Among the better-feeling hybrids available.
Sound
ExcellentClean and solid - the carbon-crowned King Tec delivers a controlled, pleasing note with no acoustic complaints. A solid acoustic for a premium players' hybrid.
Looks at address
ExcellentSharp and compact - a refined, compact players' shape that inspires confidence and workability behind the ball, with a premium look. One of the best-looking hybrids in the category.
