In my opinion, these pro reviews are next to useless for the average player. The only way to find out if it works is to test it, whether that's off the shelf or under a fitting and compare to your current model. I've tried a few of the releases over the last two years and none have compared significantly better than my current model, certainly not to make me want to fork out close to £500

It certainly looks like a big step forward. A red face is a game changer for me, and the red flashes elsewhere and even on the head cover shows how hard their boffins have been working. I though the yellow in the R7 would be the pinnacle of driver evolution, but when they went white, I was awestruck. The R11 just screamed 'ALIGHNMENT!!!' to me. Then they upped the anti again to the light blue of the SLDR. I just wouldnt have thought it possible, and the gains were phenomenal. They sort of stalled, lets be honest, when it was back to yellow in the M of the M1. But pulled it out of the bag again with the rich metallic blue which I thought was the most fairway finding colour ever.
Until now. A red face. Who says golf drivers arent constantly evolving and worth upgrading to ?

You cant have it all though. Imagine a Stealth, with adjustable sole plate technology, with movable weights and slidable weights, and a white crown. With yellow flashes around it in an arc. Insert South park gif of Randy here.

You can order a custom version of Stealth with other face colours (I like the green) and with a white framing band along the top of the face. More dough, though, natch.

Of those mentioned, I believe yellow must be the longest.
If any manufacturer tries to market a driver as "lavender", I think I'll see through it.
As a rival for "Stealth", I've suggested to Callaway that they bring out an "In-your-face" driver. I've not heard back yet.

They need a club face that gives feedback. If you nail it, it turns bright red. If you practically miss it, ice blue, and there is a spectrum in between. It could also have an Alexa style voice which says "Are you got to hit the ball sometime soon?" after a particularly weak effort.

Let's face it though every one would say" that's out the middle and gone 300 yards plus"?
