Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness84
- Feel78
- Distance76
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a high handicapper, beginner or slow swinger who wants maximum forgiveness and easy height from a long club at a value price.
You're a faster swinger, you want a penetrating flight or adjustability, or you prefer a proven major brand.
Pros
- One of the most forgiving hybrids tested - a low CG and diagonal-groove face correct mishit flight
- Easy, high launch - lifts the ball high from the deck, rough and even divots
- Designed for high handicappers and slower swings seeking height and distance
- A premium Yonex graphite shaft at a value price
Cons
- Higher launch and spin than most - not for faster swingers or windy conditions
- No adjustability - a fixed, niche-brand hybrid
- Limited independent testing beyond a couple of reviews
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA genuine standout - one of the most forgiving hybrids tested, with repositioned weight lowering the CG and a diagonal groove pattern that delivers more consistent spin and corrects flight on mishits. Top-tier game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
StrongEffortless for the target player - it launches and spins higher than most hybrids tested, designed for ease of use and ideal for high handicappers or slower swingers seeking distance, with the low CG maximising launch. Good distance for the target, modest against faster-swing peers.
Workability
ModestBuilt to go straight - the low-CG, high-launch, forgiving head is designed for ease and consistency rather than shot-shaping, and it is a fixed, non-adjustable hybrid. Low workability, as expected for the category.
Feel
StrongSolid, on Yonex's feel pedigree - the brand has a consistent reputation for pleasing feel, and the premium graphite shaft with a stiffened tip aids a stable, solid impact. Scored on the brand's feel reputation, without model-specific lab data.
Sound
SolidNo specific acoustic data exists for this model. Scored at a neutral mid-level for a game-improvement hybrid. Needs hands-on confirmation.
Looks at address
StrongFriendly and confidence-inspiring - a game-improvement shape that sits reassuringly behind the ball for the target player. A tidy value-tier look, if not a premium players' shape.
