Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks91
- Feel88
- Forgiveness86
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want stability above all and do not mind a head that keeps quiet about your strike.
You want to feel exactly where you caught it, or you prefer a small head.
Pros
- Among the most stable heads of its generation, and it took a redesign to get there
- Mishits finish about as far as pure strikes do
- The aiming channel wins over players who normally avoid alignment aids
- Weights integrated into the rear corners rather than bolted on as ports
Cons
- It tells you very little unless you miss badly
- A firmer strike than the inserts that came after it
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentIt takes a badly missed strike to move this head, which was the point of the whole redesign.
Distance
ExcellentStruck well or struck poorly, putts finish about the same distance out, which is rare.
Workability
FairOffered with a slanted neck for a curving stroke or a straight one for a stroke that does not.
Feel
ExcellentBetween a thud and a knock, with a touch of crispness you rarely get from an insert.
Sound
ExcellentLow and brief, giving away little unless the strike is genuinely poor.
Looks at address
Class-leadingDark blue with two steel weights set into the rear corners, and a pale channel over the top.
