Why we like it

What’s different in this model is the “PureFrame” design in which mass is forged into the clubhead behind the hitting area. That added thickness, determined by studying the iron-impact patterns of the company’s tour staff, reduces face flex by 12 percent, providing the distance control of a muscle-back blade iron with more than a hint of forgiveness. A shorter blade height enhances control, allowing players to flight short-iron shots lower. Notches on the heel and toe of the sole aid exiting the turf.

• A lower blade height promotes more control on short irons.
• Short irons have deeper grooves for added spin.
• The sole design helps maintain clubhead speed on fat shots.
• 7-iron: 32 degrees; PW: 46 degrees
