Where it wins
- Looks85
- Feel84
- Sound82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a forgiving, high-launching driver in a clean, tour-style shape, and don't need to shape shots.
You want to work the ball or need the very highest MOI — the tour ZX7 or a 10K head suits you.
Pros
- GI-level forgiveness in a compact, tour-looking head
- A high, straight, carrying flight with real ball speed
- Loft, lie and face-angle adjustability at the hosel
Cons
- The single weight tunes feel, not shot shape
- MOI trails the 10K game-improvement leaders
- The explosive sound is loud for some
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidPlenty forgiving for a compact head — a 5,000-plus MOI and perimeter carbon keep mishits straight and full of speed.
Distance
SolidA real GI driver for distance — Rebound Frame speed and a high, carrying flight keep it with the popular names.
Workability
ModestBuilt to fly straight with a hint of draw — the single weight tunes swing weight, not shot shape.
Feel
ExcellentA lively, springy strike — the ball sinks into the face, then springs off with real pace.
Sound
ExcellentA loud, explosive note at impact — powerful, and a lot of golfers will enjoy it.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, tour-style head — a compact, flatter shape with a gloss crown and a carbon patch, easy to sit behind.
