Why we like it

A thin titanium face plate maximises speed for the most leisurely of swingers. The face and an L-shaped structure within the body create a flexible area in the lower part of the face for extra spring where shots are struck most often. The shaft uses 18 percent resin to lighten the weight to promote a faster swing. A weight in the butt end of the shaft takes advantage of that speed by promoting a better swing path. Yes, these irons are pricier than most in this category, but there’s a lot of good technology here.

• High-density tungsten-nickel in the sole lowers the CG.
• A nanoalloy maintains structural integrity of the shaft.
• Progressive CG positions for each iron dial in flight.
• 7-iron: 28 degrees; PW: 42 degrees
