Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness89
- Feel86
- Sound86
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You leak fairway woods right and want a big, forgiving head that swings the ball back left.
You draw the ball already or want to shape it — the neutral Max or low-spin LST fits you better.
Pros
- The most draw-heavy fairway of the line, dependably turning a fade back
- A bigger hitting area and full weight make it forgiving and long enough
- A cleaner look and a quieter, crisper sound than the model before
Cons
- Built to draw — almost no room to hold a shot right
- Higher-spinning and shorter than the neutral Max or titanium LST
- The draw bias is fixed; only the hosel and a swing weight adjust
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentVery steady for a draw model — a taller face and slim sole widen the hitting zone, keeping a stray strike fast and straight.
Distance
ExcellentA solid hitter, not the longest — full weight adds ball speed, but the drawing, spinnier flight trails the neutral Max.
Workability
ModestLocked to a draw — the head shuts through impact to erase a fade, with almost no room to hold it the other way.
Feel
ExcellentA solid, sure hit — the carbon crown settles impact, and mishits still report plainly through the hands.
Sound
ExcellentA low, muted click at impact — crisp and hushed, dropping to a duller note when you miss the centre.
Looks at address
ExcellentA softly curved, even head sitting a shade closed, under a calm, subtly carbon crown — tidier and less cluttered than the last one.
