Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance90
- Feel88
- Looks88
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a better player who wants a long, fast, low-spin hybrid you can tune, flight and shape at will.
You want maximum forgiveness, a helping draw, or the easiest launch — the Max or Max Lite rescue fits better.
Pros
- Among the fastest, longest hybrids of 2026
- A loft sleeve plus a movable weight — dial in loft, flight and spin
- Real shot-shaping and a crisp, fast strike from a compact head
Cons
- Not as forgiving as the Max sibling
- A compact players' head — demands a decent strike
- Neutral bias — no built-in slice help
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSolid for a compact head — a mid-size, multi-material build keeps ball speed up on off-centre hits, if short of the Max.
Distance
Class-leadingA standout — among the fastest hybrids of the year, a low-spin, penetrating flight that carries clearly past its rivals.
Workability
SolidUnusually controllable — a compact head, low spin and full adjustability let a good player flight it up, down, or gently either way.
Feel
ExcellentA high point — a compact, lightning-quick strike; a flush one seems to leave the face before you've finished swinging.
Sound
ExcellentA quiet, tight click at impact — clean, low and refined, the muted note of a well-struck players' hybrid.
Looks at address
ExcellentA compact, refined shape — a trim metal body and an understated dark crown a better player will happily sit behind.
