Air-X
Why we like it
A lighter weight overall, including a lighter head, shaft and even grip, makes Air-X a speed-enhancing alternative for moderate to slow-swinging golfers with a smooth tempo. The design also helps average golfers avoid the slice through extensive heel-side internal weighting that’s deep in the perimeter to increase launch. Furthermore, the face angle is closed, and an offset option provides more draw effect than past versions. As one final distance bonus, the face features the same thinner, 15-point variable-thickness design found on the company’s flagship drivers.

Top 5 highest launching, drivers, slower swing speeds
“Clean look at address. Lower spinning and tight dispersion even on mis-hits. Slightly louder off the face but not distracting.”
