Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness86
- Looks86
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You slice your fairway woods or need the easiest launch, and want the most forgiving head going.
You want maximum distance, the lowest spin, or to work the ball — the standard or Plus fits better.
Pros
- TaylorMade's most forgiving fairway — the highest MOI they've built, barely losing a yard on a miss
- Very easy to launch high, with a slice-fighting draw
- A pleasant, low-pitched sound
Cons
- No adjustable hosel — nothing to fine-tune
- Draw-locked — little room to shape shots
- A little shorter and higher than the distance-first standard
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentAs stable as fairways get — TaylorMade's biggest, highest-MOI head yet loses barely a yard on a mishit.
Distance
ExcellentLong and high — similar speed to the standard head, the extra launch and spin trading a little carry for height.
Workability
ModestBuilt to draw and fly straight — the big, back-weighted head has a fixed bias and little room to shape it.
Feel
ExcellentA sharp, even hit at impact — solid, though the response shifts a little from heel to toe.
Sound
ExcellentA low-pitched note at impact — deeper and softer than the standard head, pleasant and muted.
Looks at address
ExcellentA big, extra-large head with a low, thin face under a carbon crown — reassuring and simple to settle over.
