Why We Like It
What’s different in this model is the “PureFrame” design in which mass is forged into the clubhead behind the hitting area. That added thickness, determined by studying the iron impact patterns of the company’s tour staff, reduces face flex by 12 percent, providing the distance control of a muscle-back blade iron with more than a hint of forgiveness. A shorter blade height enhances control, allowing players the ability to flight short-iron shots lower. Turf interaction—always a priority for Srixon with irons—is enhanced with notches on the heel and toe areas of the sole that reduce resistance when exiting the turf.

Reviews
Aesthetically pleasing at setup. Contact feels soft, yet powerful. A great club for low-handicap players as center strikes are workable, have spin and some forgiveness.
Alejandra, 25, Handicap: 5This is a ball-strikers club. Center strikes felt exceptional. A lot of pop off this face. Skilled players will be able to shape shots easily. Love the classic look.
Paul, 62, Handicap: 4The sole design really helps the club cut through the turf. Gives me a lot of confidence to hit any shot comfortably. Nice feedback in the hands.
Anand, 42, Handicap: 6Why 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.
