TECH: The smaller head (445cc) is aimed at faster swing speed players and is easier to shape shots with while a “power wave sole” allows the entire sole of the driver to flex, enhancing spring back particular­ly on shots hit low on the face. A new, larger face cup expands the sweet spot across more of the face, 4g of weight has been removed from the crown to enhance MOI.

WE SAY: It’s an absolute beast in the right hands. Our test pro impacted shots both high and low on the face, giving the Z765 a seriously good work out. It’s got to be said shots hit low on the face performed particular­ly well, which is worth rememberin­g if your natural tendency is to impact shots below centre. The head’s unashamedl­y fuss-free and aimed at the better player – there are no crown graphics or alignment aids, which will float the boat for a small niche of very decent golfers.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

If you’re a fan of slightly smaller drivers and have a tendency to hit shots low in the face, the Z765 is worth seeking out. It’s now in its last year on the shelves so there’s a chance you might even find one for a bargain price.
