Choose it for
Faster drives with a finish. Choose it when you already throw fairways comfortably and want this flight role at speed 9.
Choose something else if…
You need an easy-turning driver for lower-power throws.
What the numbers mean for your choice
The 0 turn and 2 fade favor a finish-oriented flight; inadequate speed can make that finish arrive early.
Which version are you buying?
The standard chart is the rating reference. Do not assume a special run or different plastic will fly identically.

Before you buy
Check whether a speed-7 fairway already covers the shot before adding another driver.
Read about the TeeBird or compare them side by side.
Try this on your next practice session
Throw it and your familiar fairway toward the same open target, then compare consistency as well as reach.
