Most brands release a family of heads each year. The plain model is the middle of the range. "Max" versions are built for forgiveness on off-center hits. "LS" means low spin, for faster swings that already launch the ball high. "D" or "Draw" heads help fight a slice. "Lite" or "Fast" versions are lighter overall for slower swing speeds.

Last year's model usually drops in price when the new one arrives, and pre-owned prices drop further. If you don't need the newest head, compare the 2025 version of the same family in Lowball before you buy.
