Golf Monthly Verdict

Beautiful looks, shape and feel off the face. We hit the draw bias model which set up well for us. We felt we could really go after this with little fear of losing it left big-time other than via the most frenetic of ill-timed lunges. Excellent flight height and shape. Long and very good, delivering the consistent, controlled draw we've been after for a while.

Reasons to buy
  • +

    This driver combines stylish looks with excellent height and shape within the flight of the ball.
