Where it wins
- Looks72
- Forgiveness70
- Distance64
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You're starting out or on a tight budget and want a forgiving, easy-to-launch driver that looks the part.
You want top-end ball speed, a premium feel, adjustability, or the ability to shape shots.
Pros
- Genuine game-improvement forgiveness — a big, high-MOI head — for well under £150
- A clean, traditional look that belies the budget price
- An easy, high launch for slower and improving swings
Cons
- Budget speed and feel — it won't match a premium driver for distance or sound
- No adjustability at all — one fixed setting
- Not a head for working the ball or for faster, better players
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidForgiveness is the whole pitch — a full-size, high-MOI head with a large hitting zone that steadies mishits for the improving player.
Distance
FairFair pace for the money from a thin, aero-shaped face, but it won't chase down a premium driver off the tee.
Workability
ModestA straight-flying game-improvement head — built for stability, with no real means to shape or bias the ball.
Feel
FairFirm and a little cheap-feeling next to a premium head — acceptable for the price, but not a soft, lively strike.
Sound
FairA louder, hollower note than a top-end driver — inoffensive, but it gives away the budget build.
Looks at address
SolidCleaner and more grown-up than the price suggests — a tidy, classic shape in an understated dark colourway.
