Golf Monthly Verdict

Benross clubs usually perform reliably, but this one didn't quite do it for us. Quite a muted, heavy sound and feel for an all-titanium head and hard to flighthigh and consistently whatever we tried. Fairly good when we nailed it but not as reliable as some.

Metallic black 460cc titanium head with fixed weight screw in rear sole. The single fixed weight screw in the rear should generate an optimal high launch, low spin rate and good ball flight. Fitted as standard with Aldila's NVS shaft and Golf Pride's Multi-Compound grip in an exclusive orange/black colour scheme. The 460cc head and maximum 2008-conforming face mean high levels of forgiveness and performance.

In July 2023, Neil became just the 9th editor in Golf Monthly's 112-year history. Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he went on to become a feature writer interviewing many of the biggest names in the game including Tiger Woods, Seve Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy and Arnold Palmer.

A 5-handicap golfer, Neil is a club member who takes a keen interest in the health of the game at grassroots level. You’ll often now find him writing about club-related issues such as WHS, membership retention and how best to bridge the gap between the range and the course.
