A tee club first, everything else second.

They agree

  • +deep face with a penetrating flight
  • +compact head that suits shaping shots

The knocks

  • −reviewers split on whether spin is actually low
  • −wider dispersion than the Max

Buy it ifyou swing fast and want a driver alternative off the tee

2nd Swing Golf

Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing

Loved it

“I mean, it's a rocket ship.”

A rocket ship of a low-spin 3-wood whose misses still carried 245-249, best suited as a tee-shot driver replacement rather than an into-the-green club.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons
  • +Enormous ball speed, well into the 150s and not far off the tester's driver
  • +Lower launch and spin with even more carry than the Max
  • +Misses still carried around 245-249 yards
  • −No chevron alignment mark on the crown
  • −Wider dispersion and less forgiving than the Max
  • −Shallower landing angle limits it as an approach club

For: Faster players wanting a driver replacement off the tee without giving up distance

Golf Monthly

UK magazine, season-long testing

Loved it

“off the tee this thing is a monster”

A monster off the tee and among the fastest tested at nearly 160 mph ball speed, a big step up from last year's Triple Diamond and a contender for his bag.

+ the facts · 5 pros
  • +Best off the tee, none better on the market for him right now
  • +Among the fastest in the test, just under 160 mph ball speed off the deck
  • +New step sole is excellent for turf interaction off the deck

For: Stronger players wanting a powerful, penetrating flight as a driver alternative off the tee

Michael Newton Golf

On-course, season-long club tests

Liked it

The compact control head sits clean and square with the most solid sound of the three, though it did not actually deliver the low spin its forward CG promises.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 3 cons
  • +Compact, squat head with a clean top and no alignment aid
  • +Sits very square with a deeper face
  • +More muted, very solid sound and feel, Michael's favourite of the three
  • −Spin ran higher than expected for a low-spin head
  • −Does not hug the ground like the Max, less confidence inspiring
  • −Deeper face punishes the low strike that many golfers miss with

For: Faster swingers who need to reduce spin and want to work the ball
