Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel85
- Sound85
- Looks84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing it fairly fast, strike it well, and want a long, low-spin, tuneable head you can shape.
You need help launching the ball or want maximum forgiveness — a bigger GI head suits better.
Pros
- A long, low-spin driver that held its own against the best of 2021
- Genuinely workable for a forgiving head, with three weight ports
- A superb, damped feel and sound, and full adjustability
Cons
- Low-spin, high-launch — best for faster, better players
- The two-tone crown divides opinion
- Premium price and now five seasons old
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidDecent for a low-spin head — a lowered weight and higher MOI make it far easier to hit than PXG's older models.
Distance
StrongThe distance model of the line — a low-spin, high-launch flight that holds its own against the best of its year.
Workability
SolidRare shot-shaping for so stable a head — three weight ports and a capable player can bend it both directions readily.
Feel
ExcellentA lovely feel — a hidden insert soaks up the vibration for a dense, quality strike from anywhere on the face.
Sound
ExcellentOne of the nicer-sounding heads of its year — clean and full, thanks to that internal vibration insert.
Looks at address
ExcellentA tall-faced, deep head with an unusual two-shade crown — a functional, if slightly fussy, look over the ball.
