Where it wins
- Feel83
- Looks83
- Sound82
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing under about 90mph and want one of the most forgiving, easiest-launching drivers going.
You swing at a decent clip or want distance and shot-shaping — the TSR2 or TSR3 suits you better.
Pros
- Among the most forgiving drivers of its year
- A featherlight build that adds real speed for a slower swing
- A pleasant feel and a quiet, consistent sound
Cons
- Not long by outright standards — distance is its weak point
- Built for slower swings — a faster player wants the TSR2 or TSR3
- No movable weight and little shot-shaping
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongAmong the most forgiving drivers of its year — a light, stable head with a face-centred weight that steadies a miss.
Distance
SolidEasy speed for a gentle swing — strong ball speeds, though it's not long by outright standards.
Workability
ModestA straight-flying help head — no movable weight and little you can do to shape a shot.
Feel
ExcellentA pleasant, above-average strike — solid and clean for such a light head.
Sound
ExcellentA fairly quiet, consistent note at impact — low-key and unobtrusive.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean 460cc Titleist head — a large, tidy shape that sits reassuringly square.
