Where it wins
- Looks92
- Feel89
- Workability84
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a strong, above-average striker who wants to fine-tune a fast, low-spin flight and shape shots at will.
You want easy forgiveness, a simple set-up, or a lighter, more standard build.
Pros
- One of the most adjustable, workable drivers ever — three tracks and two weights for any flight or bias
- A genuine low-spin bomber, with an outstanding feel and a premium look
- Keeps its lovely feel no matter how you set the weights
Cons
- A better-player tour head — the miss is punished, especially weights-forward
- A loud whoosh from the weight tracks on the swing
- Only one loft and a short stock shaft — and a niche, pricey package
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairHow safe the miss is depends on the setup — stable with the weights rearward, but harsher once you slide them toward the face for spin.
Distance
StrongA genuine low-spin bomber — set for speed, a well-struck ball flies fast and flat with very little spin.
Workability
ExcellentAs adjustable as drivers get — three weight tracks and two weights let you dial in low or mid spin and any bias you like.
Feel
ExcellentOne of the best-feeling drivers of its year — a firm, weighty, powerful strike that keeps its quality whatever the setting.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, pleasing note at impact — though on the downswing you hear the air whistling over the sole tracks.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAbout as handsome as a driver gets — a small, tall-faced, upmarket head that sits gorgeously over the ball.
