The takeaway

Forgiving fairway finder, if you can demo one.

They agree

  • +strong blend of speed and forgiveness

The knocks

  • −hard to try before you buy

Buy it ifyou're a higher handicap who wants forgiveness with room to move the weights as you improve

Skip it ifyou need to hit a club before spending this much

“PXG lightning driver, the best high handicap driver”

His forgiving step up from the Cobra for higher handicaps: great looking, great sounding, and adjustable enough to cover you whichever way your game goes.
