Where it wins
- Looks87
- Feel85
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a slower or moderate swing speed and want an easy-launching, forgiving, ultra-light driver that helps you find speed without swinging harder.
You have higher speed, want to work the ball, or want full weight adjustability - the standard Black Ops or Tour-1 are the better fits.
Pros
- Effortless launch and extra speed for slower swings - a 189g head, 14g lighter than the standard Black Ops
- Exceptional forgiveness for the target player, helped by a non-uniform bulge-and-roll face that holds ball speed on mishits
- A solid, deep, woodsy sound and feel, tuned via natural frequency optimization
- Clean, premium Black Ops looks
Cons
- A single fixed-weight design - it loses the movable-weight, shot-shape adjustability PXG is known for
- Built for slower swing speeds - faster players won't get the most from the ultra-light build
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentStrong for the target player - the forgiveness gives confidence to swing freely, aided by a non-uniform bulge-and-roll face that maintains ball speed on off-centre hits. Stable and easy, on the Black Ops platform, if a touch behind the heavier standard's MOI.
Distance
StrongSpeed for the slower swinger - the AMF variable-thickness titanium face supports increased face deflection for more ball speed, with an effortless launch, and the lightweight build helps players who struggle to generate clubhead speed find extra distance. Good for the target, rather than a fast-player speed head.
Workability
FairThe trade-off - a single fixed-weight design, unusual for PXG, that loses the movable-weight shot-shape system. An easy, straight, lightweight head built for effortless launch rather than shaping.
Feel
ExcellentSolid and tuned - impact felt solid with a touch of pop off the face, with subtle but identifiable tactile feedback, fine-tuned via natural frequency optimization. A quality feel for a lightweight head.
Sound
ExcellentDeep and pleasing - a deep, woodsy crack on centred strikes with mid-range volume, the sound becoming less pronounced off-centre for clear audible feedback. A satisfying, premium note.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and premium - great looks, with crisp branding and restrained boldness, the sole communicating simple, competent power. A confident, premium look at address.
