Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks85
- Forgiveness78
- Feel78
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You want maximum forgiveness and a high, straight flight in a clean, tour-looking head, for sensible money.
You want to work the ball or chase the lowest spin — the ZX5 LS or a tour head suits you better.
Pros
- One of the most forgiving drivers of its year, in a clean, tour-style head
- Longer and higher-launching than the 2021 ZX5, with a straightening draw
- Strong value — well under the big brands' prices
Cons
- The all-titanium build feels firmer and sounds louder than the old carbon-crown ZX5
- Little scope to shape the ball
- MOI trails the 10K game-improvement leaders
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongOne of the steadiest drivers of its year — off-centre hits finish close to your best, with a straightening draw lean.
Distance
StrongLonger than the 2021 ZX5 — a stiffer all-titanium face adds ball speed, with a higher, mid-spin flight.
Workability
ModestMade to go straight — a light draw bias and a fixed weight leave little room to shape the ball.
Feel
StrongA firm, titanium strike — solid and full of feedback, harder than the old carbon-crowned ZX5.
Sound
StrongA loud, ringing note at impact — the all-metal build is more explosive than the previous head.
Looks at address
ExcellentA big, easy-to-sit-behind head with a flatter crown and gloss finish — plenty of confidence over the ball.
