Why We Like It
- This driver targets players looking for higher flight whose game off the tee is less about shot shaping and more about the search for straight and forgiving.
- The key to that forgiveness is a carbon-composite shell that comprises most of the body, saving weight that’s used to lower the center of gravity for higher flight with less spin.
- The design uses new materials and construction in the carbon-composite body to stiffen the structure to prevent energy loss at impact.
- An internal carbon ring stiffens the crown, and the sole features a new carbon-composite-infused titanium plate. The latter mixes the rigidity of titanium with the lightness of carbon fiber for increased stiffness with flexible strength. Together, this reduces the way the carbon body deflects at impact for a more efficient energy transfer to the ball.
- A variable-thickness face made from a softer, springy forged-titanium alloy wraps around the crown and sole for better overall flexing.
- Two movable sole weights in the rear perimeter’s heel and toe (16 and four grams) control hooks (heavy weight in the toe side) and slices (heavy weight in the heel side).
- MOI rating: Above Average
- 9, 10.5, 12 degrees (with an adjustable hosel)

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List testers noted a light, fast-feeling driver that’s easy to swing and frames the ball well (face contrast helps find the sweet spot). It consistently launches very high with reduced spin, produces generous, sneaky distance and a draw bias that helps keep the right side out of play. Extremely forgiving—toe strikes still jump off the face—and very consistent. One caveat: the impact sound can be a loud, rattling note.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List testers noted a pronounced draw bias that reliably takes the right side of the course out of play, making it especially appealing to amateurs who struggle to hit a draw. May be less ideal for players who prefer a neutral or strong fade.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List testers noted this club is remarkably easy to hit, launching a mid-to-high trajectory with reduced spin and notable carry; shots felt powerful and consistently long, often behaving like sweet‑spot strikes even on off‑center hits. It’s exceptionally forgiving — toe shots held pace without harsh feedback — and delivered repeatable distance and a confidence‑inspiring launch. One downside: opinions on sound ranged from a rattling/loud click to reports it felt quiet and subtle.

COMMENT SUMMARY
Hot List panelists observed it felt very light and fast, letting you whip through impact with a satisfying whoosh and thump. Despite a larger profile it never felt bulky; the face contrast helped frame sweet spots and produced consistently high launch. It yielded stealth-like, sneaky distance with center strikes particularly rewarded. One caveat: extra yardage sometimes required muscling the swing.

The larger footprint of the two models uses a nanoalloy coating on the titanium face for better ball speeds, with an emphasis on forgiveness and a straight flight.
The coating increases the strength and bending properties of the titanium at high-speed impacts to create better resilience than typical forged titanium.
The increased resilience allows the face to deflect where the ball hits and in the surrounding area to store more of the ball’s energy for more potential speed.

The previous version offered extreme forgiveness. This upgrade adds a 32-gram adjustable weight that can shift among draw, neutral and fade settings.
The ultra-stability comes by repositioning weight saved from light carbon-composite sections that wrap around the crown and fill a large piece of the sole plate.
