“It's ticked all the boxes.”

A very solid first driver from the budget DTC brand: clean-looking, extremely forgiving and honestly priced at £299, with a loud sound and expected higher spin as the trade-offs.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons
  • +Extremely forgiving; a heel strike gear-effected straight back to the target line
  • +Very attractive, clean traditional look with matte finish and no glare
  • +Honest £299 price in a market of £400-500 drivers
  • −Loud at impact; definitely not his favourite driver audio
  • −Expects fairly high spin, so no low-spin distance ceiling (likely 310ish best in the net)
  • −First-generation product, so still learning versus the big brands

For: Everyday golfers who fear the driver and want an easy-to-hit, well-priced head

“pretty much up there with all the big names for 319 pounds”

A huge step up from Takomo's first driver that performs nearly level with the big names for £319, just giving up a little on mishits and fitting access.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 4 cons
  • +Outstanding value at £319 with a Fujikura Ventus shaft included
  • +Excellent numbers on good strikes, 283-284 yards at sub-2000 spin
  • +Three-way adjustable weighting plus adjustable hosel
  • −Spin climbs on lower face strikes
  • −Slightly less forgiving on mishits than the TaylorMade
  • −DTC model makes a proper fitting harder to get

For: The everyday golfer who wants near-flagship performance without flagship money
