Why We Like It
Advancements in golf clubs aren’t always solely driven by design. You need to be able to manufacture them as well. For this iron that meant finding a different steel—Nickel Chromoly 4335—that could be cast to an ultra-thin 1.75 millimeters and still withstand impact with the ball and ground at high speeds. This led to the ability to create a single-piece design that behaves like an iron that has a spring-like face insert. The elimination of weld joints eradicates hot spots on the face.

Reviews
Clean, consistent and precise: This club will give you the workability you need and the distance you want. Softer feel, but still responsive. Produces a piercing, mid-to-high ball flight.
Ricky, 45, Handicap: +2Beautifully crafted club. Compact head makes a crisp sound at impact. Consistent and relatively straight ball flight. Workable, but favors a right-to-left shot shape. High-quality club that’s enjoyable to hit.
Matt, 51, Handicap: 11The cavity provides a nice weight balance to the club. Produces a consistently high ball flight that stays on line and lands softly. Center strikes make a snapping sound.
David, 56, Handicap: 13Why 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.
