- +The star of the Callaway range — historically tour-only performance made playable

- +Data virtually identical to the Qi4D on carry and spin in his testing
- −About £100 more expensive than the Qi4D, which cost it his top all-rounder spot

“this is my all round favorite driver of 2026”
His all-round favorite driver of 2026: Triple Diamond looks with more forgiveness than the tour-only head, ideal for low-to-mid handicaps.
+ the facts · 5 pros− the facts
- +Tri-Force face (titanium, polymesh and carbon construction)

- +Carbon sole and triaxial carbon crown he absolutely loves the look of

“If I'm going triple diamond, I would just edge a little bit more towards that max”
The new-to-retail 460cc version of the tour head is his personal pick over the standard Triple Diamond, keeping 1,600-2,000 spin while adding a reassuring bigger footprint.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Keeps genuinely low spin, 1,600-2,000, while adding forgiveness
- +Bigger 460cc footprint adds confidence versus the 450cc Triple Diamond
- +Formerly tour-only head now available at retail

2nd Swing Golf
Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“I think this will be a big help for a lot of players.”
Spin fell neatly between the Max and Triple Diamond as designed, felt slightly less harsh than the Max, and its inclusion in the January launch fixes a long-running complaint.
+ the facts · 4 pros− the facts
- +Spin sits right between the Max and Triple Diamond; up 5 yards of carry over the Max via lower spin
- +More forgiving than the Triple Diamond without dropping spin too precipitously
- +1.49 smash on well-struck shots with tight dispersion
For: Players who like a deeper face and lower spin but don't want to give up too much forgiveness

Coach, famously hard to impress
“It's a category we didn't even know we needed”
A genuinely interesting new tweener that crosses between Triple Diamond and Max — a good slightly-low-spin all-rounder, though it fills a gap he is not sure ever existed.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Really crossed over in testing — he could get it spinning under 2,000 or up at 2,600, blending low spin with Max stability
- +Looks and feels great with the darker Triple Diamond finish; a really nice looking club
- +Might just sneak a few extra yards over time versus the Max
- −A category nobody knew they needed; he is not convinced there was actually a gap
- −So similar to the Max that you would need a very dialled-in game to see a real difference
- −Still shows some low-spin drop-off on mishits
For: Mid-range to better players who want something slightly lower spinning than the Max, or just something a bit different
“Max could be the winner.”
The higher-MOI sibling he will test next and suspects could be the real winner for him with a bit more spin.
