How the 4.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what TaylorMade publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head type | 4 | Zero-torque build: the shaft sits at the balance point, so the face turns less during the stroke. |
| Forgiveness score | 4.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Length and hand decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.

| Sole | – |
| Moment of inertia (MOI) | – |
| Face technology | black Pure Roll insert built from a combination of Surlyn and aluminum, with grooves angled at 45 degrees |
| Construction | In TaylorMade's words: "an ultrahigh MOI mallet built for players who want Spider Stability" (no MOI number published). Four heavy steel and tungsten corner weights anchor the perimeter of a low-density aerospace-grade aluminum body, "pushing mass as far from center as possible... a head that resists twisting through the stroke and returns the face square at impact." Hosel/neck: Center Shaft is the only hosel option; the KBS CT Putter 120 shaft bores toe-ward near the CG with 2 degrees of shaft lean, producing a toe-up, zero-torque orientation (spec table Face Balance reads "Toe Up"). Three TSS weights optimise swingweight and the toe-up orientation. Alignment aid: Milled True Path, lines milled to exactly the width of a golf ball on the top line. Loft 3.5 degrees, lie 70 degrees, head weight 379g. Stock grip SuperStroke Off-Axis Tour 1.0. |
