Why we like it

Increasing launch and decreasing spin is a recipe for distance in irons as well as metal woods. The internal groove built into the back surface of the high-strength HT1770 steel face insert helps in that regard. The groove, about ten-thousandths of an inch deep, runs up both sides and across the top of the perimeter to create more give in the face while promoting increased launch and decreased spin. A large weight in the back is more than ornamentation: it allows fitters to dial in the desired swingweight.

• The face is just 1.27 millimetres thick, increasing face flex.
• A polymer core saves weight, enhancing stability on mis-hits.
• An internal channel promotes face flex for extra ball speed.
• 7-iron: 30 degrees; PW: 44 degrees
