Golf Monthly Verdict

The MX 560 makes a loud sound at impact, and is very easy to hit. An excellent option for golfers who struggle to get the ball airborne.

If maximum forgiveness is your most pressing requirement, the MX-560 is a good option. Its streamline 460cc head is designed to launch the ball high and boost moment of inertia across all axes for improved results when the centre of the clubface is proving elusive. The MX-560's more streamline design promises high levels of stability and a higher retention of a good strike’s ball speed on mis-hits.
