Why we like it

It’s easy to be drawn in by the lighter and more flexible core material or the interior groove around the face that helps the face bend at impact, but more than doubling the amount of tungsten in the heel and toe areas really gets our attention. Although the heft is a nice bonus in a players or players-distance iron, the game-improvement crowd misses the centre of the face more than they hit it. This makes the stability/forgiveness boost received from putting extra weight in those areas noteworthy.

• An ultra-thin maraging-steel face enhances ball speed.
• A perimeter channel behind the face allows deflection.
• Core material reduces mass, allowing weight to be moved.
• 7-iron: 27 degrees; PW: 41 degrees
