Why We Like It
Built on a similar platform as the Max D, this model uses a lighter overall weight (about a golf ball less than the standard models) to help moderate-swing-speed golfers maximize their potential. The broad, forgiving face with its AI-designed multilevel thicknesses and a lightweight body (made of carbon fiber from top to bottom) boost forgiveness, and a low weight in the back helps shots launch higher. A cushioned but airy Winn grip (half the weight of the standard) adds a measure of control, as does a super-light 40-gram shaft.
Characteristics
- Targets moderate-swing-speed golfers with an ultralight grip and shaft that reduce total weight by more than 14 percent.
- The built-in draw bias helps to mitigate a slice and square the face at impact.
- It has the largest face area in the Ai Smoke driver family.
- 10.5, 12 degrees (fixed hosel)
Highlights
- Top 3 lightest drivers

Max-out Your Speed and Carry Distance with The Driver
Whether you want more distance or a consistent shot shape, you need one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact with the driver.
