Where it wins
- Looks85
- Feel83
- Distance79
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a skilled, faster swinger who wants to work the ball both ways with low spin - the heel and toe weights let you set a draw or fade, and it flies flat and long.
You want maximum forgiveness or help getting the ball up - the higher-launch, more-forgiving ZX5 is the easier choice.
Pros
- Highly workable - one of the easiest drivers to curve both ways, with adjustable heel and toe weights to set a draw or fade bias
- Genuinely low spin and penetrating - 300+ rpm less than the ZX5, for a flat, long flight with plenty of rollout
- Tour-quality looks in a compact, pear-shaped head, with a soft feel at centre
- More forgiving than its players' billing suggests - the Rebound Frame and carbon crown bump MOI enough for mid-handicappers
Cons
- Less forgiving than the ZX5 - it rewards a consistent centre strike
- A louder-than-average, aggressive 'crack' at impact
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidSurprising for a players' head - surprising levels of forgiveness for a low-spin tour driver, not as forgiving as the ZX5, but the Rebound Frame and carbon crown shift the CG low and bump MOI enough to satisfy even mid-handicappers. Solid for the type, if a clear step below the ZX5.
Distance
StrongLong and penetrating - it spins 300+ rpm less than the ZX5, with excellent ball speed, a very shallow descent angle and plenty of rollout for tremendous distance, and a lower, more penetrating flight. Elite low-spin distance for the fast swinger.
Workability
StrongThe headline trait - highly capable of putting significant curve on tee shots, the most workable option in the ZX family and more workable than most drivers built to go high and straight, with adjustable heel and toe weights to set a draw or fade bias. A genuine shot-shaper's tool.
Feel
ExcellentSoft at centre - the feel is on the softer side, especially when you find the middle of the face, a pleasing, refined impact. A soft, satisfying sensation that belies the aggressive sound.
Sound
StrongLouder than average - a louder-than-average impact, a medium-pitched, aggressive crack that lets your group know when you've crushed one, though not deafening. A firm, assertive note, a touch loud for some.
Looks at address
ExcellentTour-quality - tour-quality looks, a compact, rounded, pear-shaped head with a flatter crown, the more compact, better-player shape compared with the triangular ZX5. Clean and confidence-inspiring for the skilled player.
