Why We Like It
- The more compact of the two models uses a nanoalloy coating on the titanium face for better ball speeds across the face and features a neutral to slight fade bias for players who prefer to work the ball.
- It features a slightly taller face with a more forward center of gravity for lower spin and a penetrating 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 increased potential speed.
- The coating allows the thickest parts of the titanium face to get nearly 10 percent thinner compared to previous models to expand the area that generates the highest ball speeds.
- A lightweight carbon-composite crown helps lower the center of gravity for higher launch.
- Adjustable hosel tweaks loft by plus/minus 2 degrees for a range of 7 to 12.5 degrees.
- MOI rating: Above Average
- Top 5 in Look, low-handicaps
- 9, 10.5 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel)

Hot List panelists observed a bold blue look and a brawny, confident swing feel. It delivers very straight ballflight with tight dispersion, a large sweet spot, smooth weight transfer and a tendency to correct imperfect swings. When struck well it gives a strong, climbing trajectory and higher ball speeds. However, that hefty feel didn’t consistently translate into extra yards.
Hot List testers noted immediate confidence—first swings often went dead straight—and praised its strong corrective tendencies that keep shots from curving. Suited to faster swingers seeking control, it offers crisp feel and lively sound on pure strikes, a high, climbing trajectory with lower spin that encourages rollout, and occasional higher ball speeds (though distance gains were modest). One caveat: it may take some time to fully dial in.
Hot List testers noted a fun blue colorway and a noticeably hefty, brawny feel through the swing. Impact is loud and metallic; spin stayed under about 2,500 rpm, which limited peak distance. Nonetheless it was very forgiving—tight dispersion—and allowed both low and high trajectories, making it versatile; many said they could see it earning a spot in the bag.
Hot List testers noted it connects well and launches the ball with authority, producing tight dispersion and reliable flight even when impact felt off. The club’s larger sweet spot and smooth weight transfer created a buttery, nearly imperceptible feel through impact. Many found it minimized mistakes—shots that felt poor still stayed playable. One caveat: it can be unforgiving on off‑path strikes.
Range Results
We tracked 20,000 shots through player testing and then had them analyzed by our team of scientists. These graphics reflect the relative performance our players saw for each club in the category.
