Why we like it

At a time when many irons are going for $250 a stick, these are considerably less expensive. Thermoplastic urethane is inserted behind the lower portion of the face. That saves weight that is used for a toe-weight pocket to assist shots hit out in that area – a place many middle-handicappers routinely find. The variable-thickness face is complex, with more than 100 diamond shapes in three thicknesses. Why the different shapes and thicknesses? Because shots hit on the heel and toe behave differently than centre strikes.

• Weight has been shifted towards the perimeter to help bolster forgiveness.
• Toe weighting helps deliver a crisper feel.
• 7-iron: 27.5 degrees; PW: 42 degrees
