Where it wins
- Feel89
- Looks88
- Sound87
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a strong ball-striker who wants a compact, long, low-spin hybrid you can tune, flight and shape.
You want maximum forgiveness, a helping draw, or an easy high launch — the standard or HD Stealth 2 fits better.
Pros
- Golf Digest 2023 Hot List Gold — a top players' hybrid
- Genuinely long with real, tour-level shot control
- A dense, forged feel up with the best in any hybrid
Cons
- Less forgiving than the standard or HD Stealth 2
- No movable weight — hosel tuning only
- Aimed at better players with decent swing speed
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongSolid for a compact tour head — an internal face-support ring holds ball speed on a miss better than a small head usually would.
Distance
ExcellentGenuinely long for a players' shape — a low-spin, penetrating flight and a hot forged face pump out strong carries.
Workability
SolidReal control on tap — a compact, low-spin body and a tunable hosel let a good striker work it high, low or either way.
Feel
ExcellentAmong the very best in any hybrid — a forged face gives a dense, pure, rewarding strike that a good player will savour.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, refined note at impact — clean and tour-quiet, the sound of a solidly forged players' hybrid.
Looks at address
ExcellentA gorgeous, compact tour shape — a slim, narrow head under a dark crown that a good ball-striker will love to see.
