ZXi MAX

Independent commentary: the chassis is in the 9000s for MOI, offering plenty of help — the family's max-forgiveness chassis with CG pulled further back to maximize forgiveness on off-center contact. Reviewer testing on family: shots from different parts of the face showed less than 15 yards between the longest and shortest carry — the max-MOI head exceeds this baseline. Independent commentary asked whether a driver can have too much forgiveness — the chassis intentionally maximises stability. Best forgiveness in the family lineup.

Same titanium face plus i-Flex plus Rebound Frame as the standard family head delivers strong ball speed. Robot/lab data: family produces the fastest ball speed of all 37 drivers tested (low-spin sibling at 163.04mph) — the max-MOI head trails the LS sibling but matches family ball-speed efficiency with the trade-off of higher launch and slightly more spin. Independent commentary noted the chassis may sacrifice some peak ball speed for stability — distance is solid but the family's tour-low-spin head is the distance leader.

Independent commentary: the chassis prioritises stability over manipulation — CG pulled further back to maximize forgiveness makes shape-shifting harder than the family's low-spin and standard siblings. Manufacturer design: same dual-weight port system as the family for some Draw/Fade bias tuning, but the max-MOI chassis imposes neutrality at default. Lowest workability in the family by design — built for fairway-finding consistency, not shotmaking.

Family feel character carries through — reviewer testing on standard family head noted an imposing, mid-volume crack with the sensation of tremendous speed but without the face feeling thin. Independent commentary: the total package with elite performance on quality strikes, forgiveness for misses, and top-notch look, sound, and feel. The max-MOI head trades some impact intensity for stability but retains the family's premium tactile signature.

Family acoustic improvement carries through — the improved audio was impressive, with the louder, somewhat clunky noise of the predecessor coming down a decibel or two. Reviewer testing on family: noise is definitely noticeable, similar to other titanium drivers, though not quite to everyone's preference. The larger max-MOI head dampens some impact tone vs the family's low-spin sibling. Acoustic remains the family's weakness, modestly improved over the prior generation.

Independent commentary: the chassis is a good-looking driver and a big improvement in looks compared to previous models — family minimalist matte crown aesthetic carries to this chassis. Reviewer testing: visible Laser Face Milling pattern adds modern texture. Largest head profile in the family with the deepest CG positioning visible at address — confidence-inspiring for the moderate-swing target.
