Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness91
- Distance85
- Feel85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a slower or smoother swing and want the easiest hybrid to launch, with a helping draw and huge forgiveness.
You swing quickly, want to work the ball, or need an adjustable hosel — the standard, Max or Tour rescue fits better.
Pros
- Golf Digest 2025 Hot List — huge forgiveness for a gentle swing
- A light build that helps a slower swing find speed and carry
- An easy, cushioned feel and a big, reassuring look
Cons
- No adjustability — a bonded hosel
- A slightly louder impact than its siblings
- A big, draw-biased head with little scope to shape
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingAbout as forgiving as hybrids get — a big, light head and a low, deep weight steady the wildest misses.
Distance
ExcellentLong for a gentle tempo — a pared-back build and re-set weight coax extra speed and unexpected carry from a mild swing.
Workability
ModestNot built to shape — a large, light, draw-biased head flies high and left, holding to one easy flight you can't shape.
Feel
ExcellentA cushioned, muffled strike with plenty of punch behind it — mellow through the ball, kind to a mild tempo.
Sound
ExcellentA shade noisier than its stablemates — a fuller, more pronounced knock that reports the hit clearly to a mild tempo.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, reassuring GI shape under a dark crown — bigger than a players' head, built to settle a nervous eye.
