Why We Like It
- The face on the long irons is made of a high-strength forged 4340M Chromoly steel alloy and wraps around the sole in an L-shape to create a more effective trampoline effect.
- A cut-through slot in the sole enhances flex for shots struck low on the face.
- Tungsten (30 to 40 grams) is positioned horizontally and low on the long irons to provide a better launch. On the middle irons, a chunkier piece rests vertically closer to the toe to improve stability on off-center strikes.
- The key to getting the weighting right is how the back wall of each iron uses alternating thick and thin sections, almost like latticework.
- The short irons (8-iron through gap wedge) eschew tungsten so that the center of gravity progresses higher with each successive loft to prevent shots from ballooning.
- By injecting the heads with a lightweight urethane foam, the thin face can still flex while unwanted sounds and vibrations are controlled.
- Top 5 in Performance, low- and middle-handicaps.
- SPECS: 7-iron: 30 degrees; PW: 44 degrees

It was fairly forgiving overall so as far as direction goes, mis-hits didn't go off course too much. Shots would stay in the fairway or go close to the green. It was just a little inconsistent on distance. It went through the turf well and had soft feel off the clubface. Dispersion was good. Distance? Not so much.
David

There's a great click sound when I hit it in the center of the club, producing a stable ball flight. I was able to hit some nice draws.
RC
63, Handicap 7

The launch was definitely there. It was a little springy on the face. I really liked the clean look of the club. And I got good swing speed. It just felt a little harder to control the ball direction. When I did hit it well, it was going straight. But there were big variations in distance.
Gary
37, Handicap 13

It was very easy to release these clubs through the hitting zone. The weighting seemed to help get the face square with the same shot pattern. I got a medium trajectory with the right kind of landing angle. Impact was lively and dynamic. Overall, these are so clean and professional-looking.
Alan

The speed slot on the sole is eye-catching, And it gives it a lot of juice, a lot of power. It lets you know that it's there and you can use it when you need it.

Robert
28, Handicap 2

I really like the simple look. The design is no-frills pleasing. The sound and feel is on the softer side. The performance was on cruise control. Even on misses, the ball went straight. Some bad swings still got decent results. It plows through the turf and for a player that wants five more yards, this is a true mix of a players iron and a distance iron.
Paul
63, Handicap 4
10+ years testing
It has a little thicker topline that promotes confidence. It is clearly longer than everything else I've hit. I got a nice spin rate and trajectory with medium-high flight. It got through the grass well and mis-hits were not punished. A real workhorse.
Jason
48, Handicap 0
10+ years testing
For whatever reason, I struggled to hit these solid. Off-center hits hung in there and performed well, but I couldn't make great contact. When I did strike them well, they had nice launch and spin. The insert takes a lot of the sound out of the strike.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5

I love the way this club glides through the turf to meet the ball with pure energy. It has a soft, muted sound and feel. The mid and long irons were simple to hit with plenty of forgiveness. All hits resulted in a high, floating draw.
Daniel
33, Handicap 12
5 years testing
A classy-looking club, not a lot of things overdone. It was very energetic off the face. Pretty elastic and high energy. I felt I had the ability to control ball flight and shape shots. The turf kind of exploded underneath the club.
Molly
37, Handicap 0
4 years testing
Love the look. Its simplicity is appreciated. A bit more bulk feel that makes me work a little harder in the swing, but it is worth it because it launches like a rocket—high with super stopping power. There's a loud, snapping-like sound but it's good.
Wei
55, Handicap 13

There is a bit of angularity on the clubhead that catches my eye. I do like the sound and the feel, and I feel like well-struck shots have a pleasing sensation. Poorly struck shots were able to maintain their trajectory and distance.
Scott
37, Handicap 14
9 years testing
I felt a pop off the face with great distance, great, great height and it dropped like a rock, so you can land greens from any distance. There is a good balance of brushed metal and chrome. More forgiving than it looks with that thin topline and compact shape.
Alex
40, Handicap 11
6 years testing
More than anything, a well-struck ball connoted power and flew straight to my target. If you missed one a little thin or fat, you didn't lose much distance. It had a soft feel off the face and a quiet, clicky sound.
Shane
36, Handicap 15
5 years testing
I hit it really well, but didn't like the feel of it. Too much clatter. A lot of feedback. It was very playable and repeatable. Every shot was exact same over and over through the bag.
Megan
39, Handicap 0

It didn't hurt my performance but it also didn't give me major gains. It looks great and seems like it would be buttery, but it was quite firm.
BK
41, Handicap 1
9 years testing
It has a real heavy hit to it. The clubhead feels heavy and it feels like there’s a lot of mass behind it when I hit. It gave me a real penetrating trajectory. Not affected by the wind as much. I was getting a consistent shot shape out of it. With some clubs, you go hard and all hell breaks loose. Not this one.
Thomas
60, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
What struck me was the accuracy from the wedge—so much more than others. I thought the 5-iron was forgiving, too. There was great turf interaction and a satisfying click—a pleasing sound.
Matt
52, Handicap 11
3 years testing
Impact felt like a thrilling punch. The club looks compact and sporty at address. I thought when I concentrated on trying to hit a draw, the club behaved better. There was a medium-high flight—not soaring or ballooning, but a higher, piercing flight.
Sándor J.
36, Handicap 9

A nice looking club. It has good weight to it. I like how it feels in my hands.
Ryan
49, Handicap 10
7 years testing
The head felt a touch heavy in my hands, but that extra weight delivered a satisfying punch. Strikes were direct, pushing the boundaries for distance and landing softly when desired. There was minimal penalty for mis-hits.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
The more flush you hit it, the more you get some sound feedback. There's a nice little click to it, and the ball just rockets when you hit it correctly. It does have some forgiveness. Off-center hits will lose some distance but they'll still fly straight.
Anand
43, Handicap 6
10+ years testing
The topline was pretty thin. but it feels like there's a lot of mass behind clubface. The ball flies off the face! Workability is a bit of a question mark. I couldn't shape the 5-iron both ways.
Sean
53, Handicap 6

These are a classic. They look like they could be a players iron. And it just jumps off the clubs. Just butter, and you get a lot of distance with them.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
A little louder and a little firmer in the hands but not insulting or harsh. The pop was nice. Based on your swing speed, you could move the trajectory up or down. This is one where you want to really be in that single-digit-handicap zone to get all of its performance.
Alejandra
26, Handicap 5

They looked clean and sleek but they felt bulky. It was difficult to repeat the same shot over and over. Even hitting the sweet spot repeatedly yielded different results.
Jack
35, Handicap 1

Very forgiving. It sits exactly square and fills you with confidence. High launch. Great for a low-ball hitter.
Matt

A fraction chunkier than I'd like on the bottom and a bit of the topline. It plays extremely soft. It gets you effortless compression, sliding through the grass. You can feel wherever you're hitting the ball. It's a super easy club to hit.
Skylar
26, Handicap 7
2 years testing
Kind of a standard, normal-looking iron. It doesn't look daunting or scary. It looks like it'll be easy to hit with some good technology. It's not too loud—like a nice whoosh. You have to put in more work to get your swing arc right, but because it's so heavy, it's pretty forgiving unless you really mess up.
Jin
30, Handicap 13
1 year testing
The sound is very high-pitched, even on good contact. The feel is a bit sharper on your hands. It feels like I'm toeing or hitting shots even when I'm not. Flies high, but not as far as I would expect. It stays on its line, even on mis-hits.
