Where it wins
- Forgiveness72
- Looks72
- Distance68
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a cheap, forgiving, easy-launching hybrid that helps from the rough, and you're not chasing big-brand distance.
You want proven, fitted performance, adjustability, or maximum ball speed - the established brands deliver more.
Pros
- Strong value - a forgiving, high-MOI hybrid at a budget price
- Built for forgiveness and easy launch - a high-MOI head with a low CG, especially helpful from the rough
- Versatile - designed to perform from the tee, fairway, rough or around the fringe
- Lightweight graphite build and a premium Tour Pride grip
Cons
- No independent testing - the performance claims are manufacturer-stated and unverified
- Entry-level budget build - an unproven face and fixed setup
- No adjustability - a fixed hybrid with no hosel or weights
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidA low-profile, high-MOI head with a low CG for increased forgiveness on off-centre strikes and easier launch, in line with budget game-improvement designs. Scored conservatively as a credible-but-unverified design - no independent testing exists for this model.
Distance
SolidAn ultra-thin face for faster ball speeds and a SPEED-contoured aerodynamic sole to reduce drag and increase clubhead speed. With no launch-monitor data for this model and a budget build, distance is scored as modest-but-respectable for an entry-level hybrid.
Workability
ModestA straight-flying, low-profile game-improvement head with a neutral, fixed setup - built to launch consistently, not to shape shots, with no movable weights or adjustable hosel. Low workability, as expected for the category.
Feel
FairNo feel data exists for this model. MacGregor's recent value clubs are described as feeling more premium than their price, so feel is scored at a cautious mid-level for an entry-budget head.
Sound
FairNo acoustic data exists for this model. Scored at a neutral mid-level for a budget game-improvement hybrid.
Looks at address
SolidA low-profile, confidence-inspiring head that sits cleanly behind the ball. A tidy, traditional shape for the value segment.
