Why We Like It

  • This driver fits a broad range of players looking for mid to high flight and mid to low spin.
  • Unlike typical drivers, the face’s variable-thickness pattern uses a thinner (not thicker) middle section surrounded by thicker heel and toe sections to create a larger area of the face with the highest ball speeds.
  • This unique pattern required the development of a new titanium alloy that is stronger, lighter and more flexible.
  • Alternating rigid and flexible regions in the crown and sole provide a power boost at impact.
  • The lightweight and super-thin titanium crown uses a lattice pattern of thicker supporting bands that allow most of the crown to be thinner than a credit card.
  • Two adjustable sole weights in the heel and toe regions provide options for creating a slight draw or fade and for dialing in your preferred swingweight.
  • The face’s laser milling pattern optimizes spin and adds an element of forgiveness in wet conditions.
  • Top 5 in Look, middle-handicaps
  • MOI rating: High
  • 9, 10.5 degrees (with a 12-way adjustable hosel)

COMMENT SUMMARY

Hot List panelists observed a very hot, high-launching driver that produces explosive ball speed and standout distance with minimal effort. It offers a massive sweet spot, forgiving off-center performance, and makes draws easy to shape. Setup and looks drew praise. Impact is very loud and firm—some found the sound/feel harsh.

COMMENT SUMMARY

Hot List panelists observed extremely hot ball speed and easy distance—balls came off the face like a cannon—paired with an attractive look behind the ball. Impact is firm and loud with a satisfying, slightly muted feel. One notable drawback was wider dispersion on mis-hits.

COMMENT SUMMARY

Hot List testers noted a long, powerful club that launches strong and high with an easy-to-swing feel. It sets up nicely at address, is forgiving with a massive sweet spot, and encourages a playable draw; toe strikes kept most spin. One downside: impact is notably loud and a bit of a vibrating thud.

COMMENT SUMMARY

Hot List testers noted the face felt exceptionally hot — shots “exploded” off it with lively ball speed and a punchy, confidence‑building feel; it’s the kind of head that stands out on the range and makes it easy to show off.
