Our 90-shooter blasts it but needs control. These Hot List drivers kept him in play

“Super fast and stable, too. Could not put too much effort into it to affect the results. This driver does not know failure. So long I had to apologize.”

“Looks like an Infiniti Q80. Been waiting for something to blow me away; this one checks every box and makes its presence known. Real firmness at impact — like hitting a no-doubter home run. Good launch without getting floaty.”

“You can feel the supreme transfer of energy into every shot. All your best gets powered into the ball. The ball gets up quickly, begins to cruise, and then lands softly. It's like a stealth bomber finding its target every time. It's soft, but you can feel the power. Impacts all over the face were still getting extremely playable results.”

“There was no feeling of club-turf interaction, like every shot was off a tee. And it took off like a bullet train—effortless height with tons of velocity. I got a great descent angle, too. Every shot seemed like my best shot of the day. Can I take these home in my suitcase?”

“It felt like a catapult. It was so easy to get the ball to cruising altitude and it was long. It rewarded me every time for just hitting the face. It's a game-improvement iron that lives up to its name of improving my game. Off-center hits were unnoticeable.”

“These are electric, instant energy. I got a very loud percussive blast on every hit. They don't fly super high but more of a driving height—and deadly straight.”

“Felt like I could hit every shot I wanted, and I don't have every shot. No digging. Right amount of firmness and crispness off the face. Head was easy to manipulate to produce different flights. Great control. Every shot was perfectly on target.”

“Almost mallet-like in its performance. Roll felt soft and delicate with a firmness that gave me some decent feedback.”

“Putts went in effortlessly. Even with the soft feel, it was getting a good transfer of energy. The ball started rolling right off the face. Not a single putt where I didn't see what I was expecting.”
