Why we like it

The look is so elegant that you might expect to find this one in the bag of The Golden Bachelor (who does play golf), but substance is plentiful, too. The hard-to-hit long irons have a backbar that lowers the centre of gravity and combines with a new slot design to promote higher launch. The short irons, however, have a backbar with extreme heel-toe weighting to boost forgiveness and a different slot to maximise ball speed.

• The set runs from 5-iron to SW.
• The “hybrar” compression damper reduces unwanted face vibration.
• 7-iron: 30 degrees; PW: 44.5 degrees
