Why we like it

When you have success with an iron line, you’re not going to mess with it much. Still, tiny changes here equal big benefits. A proprietary heat-treating process created a super-strong 17-4 stainless steel that allows for more face flexing. This results in the much sought-after combination of increased distance and higher max height. The sole was altered, too. Approximately 1 degree of bounce was added to each iron to promote the kind of clean turf interaction that mitigates the effect of fat shots.

  • Flex zones on the badge deliver ball speed, better feel.
  • A compact head, shorter hosel help lower the CG.
  • Stronger lofts stay mindful of distance gaps.
  • 7-iron: 29 degrees; PW: 41 degrees

“I like the gradual progression of the topline. Minimal offset. Longest I’ve hit.”
