10 · Pros & ConsThe short version.

◆ What We Liked
  • Mishit forgiveness that flatters the average amateur swing.
  • Launch window suits mid-handicap swing speeds (78–92 mph).
  • Hybrid replacements are genuinely playable, not token additions.
  • Price-to-performance is the best in the golf accessories category right now.
◆ What We Didn’t
  • Feel on pure strikes is muted versus forged competition.
  • Wide sole can be a liability on firm, tight lies.
  • Offset is generous — faders will need to account for it.
  • Stock grip is functional but forgettable.
