Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks88
- Forgiveness86
- Distance86
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a fast, very forgiving fairway you can fine-tune for bias and flight through a fitting.
You want a simpler, cheaper fairway with no tinkering, or you like to shape shots freely by hand.
Pros
- One of the most forgiving fairways of 2024 — near top-model MOI in a smaller head
- Fast and long, with a thinner face lifting ball speed over the last generation
- Class-leading tuning: three sole weight ports plus an adjustable loft-and-lie hosel
Cons
- Premium pricing for a fairway wood
- You need a proper fitting to get the most from the weighting
- Neutral by default — you shape flight with weights, not freely by hand
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptionally stable — a low, perimeter-weighted head pushes MOI near PXG's most forgiving model, so mishits hold ball speed.
Distance
ExcellentFast and long — a face 12.5% thinner than the last generation lifts ball speed for real carry gains.
Workability
FairNeutral off the tee, but three weight ports let a fitter build in a draw, fade or lower flight.
Feel
ExcellentA firm, solid strike that reports clearly through the hands — you know at once how well you caught it.
Sound
ExcellentA mid-pitched, moderate note at impact — the usual metalwood ring, toned down and more muted.
Looks at address
ExcellentA compact, low-profile head with a squared, blacked-out face — clean, modern and easy to settle over.
