Why We Like It
If these irons took human form, they might just give Patrick Dempsey a run for “Sexiest Man Alive.” Just like with the actor, there’s more here than good looks. The speed on this iron comes from the thinnest face on a forged iron in the company’s history—just 2.2 millimeters thick. The distance chase doesn’t stop there. Micro-slots in the sole cavity (wider in the 4- through 6-irons and slightly narrower in the 7-iron to smooth the transition to the scoring clubs) provide plenty of heat.
Characteristics
- Micro-slots in the long and middle irons deliver distance.
- Carbon steel in the 8-iron through wedges promotes control.
- A notch in the club’s perimeter assists sound.
- 7-iron: 30 degrees; PW: 44 degrees

Reviews
It's easy to get shots into the air. Even though it produces a higher ball flight, it still gives you a lot of distance. Forgiving on misses and holds the line well.
Alejandra, 25, Handicap: 5The forged feel on center strikes is unbelievable, like you hit nothing at all. This is a great option if you play a straighter ball flight. Distance is second to none.
Peter, 56, Handicap: 7Felt smooth through the turf. Firm feel that translated to a strong, punchy ball flight. High, penetrating ball flight that’s workable. Hot off the face and gives you easy distance.
Scott, 36, Handicap: 14Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
