Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a moderate-swing-speed player who fights a slice and wants a light, easy-to-swing driver with a built-in draw and a clean look.
You have higher speed, want to work the ball, or chase maximum carry - the standard ST200 or the tour ST200G are the better fits.
Pros
- A genuine slice-corrector - a draw-biased CG produces about 13 yards of right-to-left movement, yet sets up clean and square (not hook-faced)
- Lightweight and effortless - a 272g build with a 39g MFUSION shaft helps moderate swing speeds swing faster for more speed
- The lowest-spinning head in the ST200 family (~2,200 rpm), generating big rollout (~40 yards)
- The same premium, clean black-and-carbon ST200 looks
Cons
- Modest carry (~241 yards in testing) - it's built for moderate speeds, not raw distance
- Draw bias and a fixed CG limit workability, and the lightweight build has a higher-pitched, sharp sound
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidSolid for the target player - the draw-biased centre of gravity is set up for even more forgiveness, helping eliminate a miss to the right, and the draw-bias build aids consistency for moderate swing speeds. The lightweight head is less inherently stable than the standard ST200, but the draw helps keep it in play.
Distance
SolidGood for moderate speeds, modest in raw carry - the lowest-spinning of the family (~2,200 rpm), with carry around 241 yards but nearly 40 yards of rollout from the low spin and draw, and a lightweight build that helps moderate swingers find speed. Total distance via speed and roll rather than carry.
Workability
ModestLimited by the draw bias - around 13 yards of right-to-left movement from the draw-biased head, with a built-in draw. It fights left by design, so it's a slice-corrector rather than a shaping tool.
Feel
StrongLightweight and effortless - it feels noticeably lightweight and effortless when swinging, with the same sharp impact as the family. Pleasant, if less substantial than the heavier standard ST200.
Sound
StrongA higher-pitched crack - at impact, like the other ST200 drivers, it produced a higher-pitched, sharp crack, on the sharper side. Confident but the lightweight head reads a touch higher and thinner than the standard ST200.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean, even as a draw head - while it's draw-biased, it sets up clean and square at address rather than looking hook-faced, with the same sleek black finish and carbon crown as the family. A premium, distraction-free look, among the best of 2020.
