Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel91
- Looks90
- Sound89
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
Your stroke arcs strongly and you want blade looks with more steadiness than usual.
Your stroke runs straight, or you want a compact traditional head.
Pros
- More toe release than anything else in the line, for a stroke that swings well inside
- The wider body steadies a head that would otherwise be lively
- Sits flat and settles square without being nursed into position
- Long-range distance control that outdoes the narrower Newports
Cons
- Near-maximum flow demands a genuinely arcing stroke to work
- Bare milling and no paint fill make it plainer than earlier versions
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe Plus body carries far more weight at its edges than the slim 2.5 ever did, and misses hold their line better.
Distance
ExcellentLong putts are the strength, the extra width keeping pace together when the strike wanders.
Workability
StrongThe most toe flow of any blade here, so the face swings open and shut almost on its own.
Feel
Class-leadingTwo cuts across one piece of steel give a strike that yields a little and still reports clearly.
Sound
ExcellentA muted knock that varies more with the ball you play than with where you strike it.
Looks at address
Class-leadingGrounded flat with the face already pointing where you want it, if broader through the rear than tradition allows.
