Verdicts
JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16
An elongated drive machine. The extra reach and plow-through win baseline exchanges, but you pay for it every time you have to reset a fast hands battle.
Proton Series One Project Black
A thermoformed unibody built around stability. The foam walls push twist weight to the top of our measured range, which is why off-center drives still land deep.
