James Robinson Golf
Mid-handicap everyman reviews
“I'm absolutely blown away by how good this driver is.”
At £219 it gives up about 5 mph ball speed and 9-10 yards of carry to the Qi35, but he is blown away by it and calls it phenomenal value, the best budget driver he has tested so far.
+ the facts · 5 pros · 5 cons− the facts
- +Phenomenal value at £209-£219 versus £500+ premium drivers
- +Premium sound and feel with a carbon crown and lovely traditional head shape
- +Adjustable loft sleeve works well and rear weighting adds forgiveness
- −Average ball speed around 158 mph versus 163 for the Qi35, roughly a 10-yard carry deficit
- −Stock US Helium 55g shaft only, no fitting options
- −No movable weight system
For: Anyone who refuses to pay £500-£700 for a new driver but still wants near-premium performance
