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 want the steadiest, most forgiving hybrid with an easy high flight and a helping draw, at normal swing weight.
You want to shape shots, need an adjustable hosel, or prefer a lower flight — the standard or Tour rescue fits better.
Pros
- Category-leading forgiveness — ball speed holds on any strike
- A high, green-holding flight with a helping draw
- Long and consistent from a very stable head
Cons
- No adjustability — the Max drops the hosel for forgiveness
- A bigger, louder sound than the standard
- A draw-biased, one-flight head with no shot-shaping
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingIts whole point — ball speed holds firm centre or off, so a mishit still flies nearly full distance on a steady line.
Distance
ExcellentLong and reliable — strong, even ball speed and a higher, spinnier flight that holds greens on long approaches.
Workability
ModestBuilt to fly straight — a big, draw-leaning head sends the ball high and slightly left, with almost no room to shape.
Feel
ExcellentA soft, planted strike with weight behind it — an easy, muffled hit that suits a smooth pass at the ball.
Sound
ExcellentA big, full note at impact — rounder and more vocal than the muted standard, still clean rather than tinny.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, confident GI head under a dark crown — substantial and reassuring, a touch more solid-looking than the lightweight Lite.
