I hit three 7-irons, all 170 yards carry, which were the longest of the day by at least 20 yards. It promotes you to hit it easy as opposed to crushing it, because the club and the clubface do so much for you. The face feels extremely thin, and the ball just jumps off of it.
Low launch and spin was impressive. In windy conditions, the ball stayed pretty low, which is my happy spot. Distance was better than average. Impact is quiet and powerful, but on the softer side.
An elegant game-improvement iron. When you look down on it, you're like, 'I don't know if I can hit that.' But then you set it down and you hit great shot after great shot all through the set. The profile borders on a little thin, but it has a little more size from heel to toe to keep you encouraged.
If you aspire to be a real golfer, these are the clubs for you. The ball snaps off the face in the most pleasing way in terms of feel and sound. It flies high, lands soft, and rolls out. You won't ever fight it.
Very clean and thin look for a game-improvement club. It looks stylish and elegant, which I really like. It was super easy to swing and it gets the ball up high in the air very quickly. Easy to repeat, very predictable ball flight shot after shot.
Turf interaction was superb, but I really struggled to find the face and hit this up in the air. It felt like I had to work really hard to get the best performance out of it. When i struck it well, I could work it quite a bit.
Framed the ball nicely. As soon as you hit it, you knew that it was going to be long. Very high ball flight, but not ballooning. The feel was soft and supple. You knew no matter where you hit it, you felt like you were hitting the sweet spot, which I loved.
The sweet spot is tiny, and if you miss it, it's a dead zone. It even hurts your hands a little bit, so it does provide very strong feedback. It's definitely tailored to someone who can hit the middle of the clubface more consistently. If you don't, you're going to get a wide range of dispersion in terms of distance and direction.
I really struggled with this clubhead, which seemed a little smaller than I'm used to. And because of that, I was not confident in my swing or in connecting with the ball. I almost expected to mis-hit everything.
A very strong performing club. Good pop, even with a more thin feel at impact. It was a little less forgiving than some, so the loss of distance and direction was noticeable.
Very unassuming presentation. The back of the club is hiding all the tech, so you really don't know what's going on in the inside. But there's a ton of forgiveness. On loose swings, the ball still drives through the air and reaches its destination, or comes up just a little short. Good swings are well rewarded and pick up a few extra yards.
They should rename this club the Ohtani [for Los Angeles Dodgers' slugger Shohei Ohtani], because the ball just pops off the face. The first thing I noticed was how quickly the ball got out and up in the air. Then it just continued to tumble out and move forward, on a nice, rounded arc. It didn't flutter at all.
What it lacks in distance, it makes up for in forgiveness. The sound at impact is like that of cracking a whip. With that sound, you'd think the ball would hop off the face, but it doesn't.
Excellent, simple design. A game-improvement club in more of a players package. The club produced the height that I'm looking for to hold greens with terrific distance.
Probably the best performance of anything I've hit so far in this category. That being said, I had difficulty finding the center of the face consistently. The head is almost blade-like for a game-improvement iron, and just smaller in general. When you hit it good, however, it's really good. Distance-wise, I found it a little above par when struck correctly.
It has a pretty thick sole and topline, but when you look down on it at address, it does look thin and pleasing to the eye. At impact, the feel and sound is more aggressive. It's a really loud smack, not the deep, flush sound that I would prefer.
Call it love at first sight. It looks just like a a players blade. It's super easy to lift in the air with a lot of energy under the ball. Distance was well above average.
The game-improvement features are disguised very well, because it looks more like a players iron. Way more forgiving than it looks, although there's a lot of surface area to hit from heel to toe. It's got a pretty big sweet spot. Distance is not compromised too much on off-center hits.
Well-constructed topline, slight offset help deliver an almost a perfect hitting experience. The ball feels as though it's lifting off the face as the club moves through the turf. Just a really balanced feel. Launch is excellent. The crispness and the sound of solid hits is superlative.
A lower-spin, higher-launch type of club with a steep angle of descent, even in the longer irons. I feel like I'd have no problem holding the green with the 5-iron.
It felt like the whole face was a sweet spot, almost like a lively springboard. It felt launchy. I didn't get crazy distance, but it will lock in on your distances and repeat them every time.
Very forgiving. Each shot performed similarly no matter where you hit it on the clubface—a little higher ball flight, but penetrating. Maybe a tier down distance-wise from some others in this category.
I found this club extremely easy to hit. It feels like the entire clubface is a sweet spot, so it doesn't really matter where on the face you hit it. Launch-wise, it was sending the ball to outer space, which definitely cost me some distance. On a windy day, I would really struggle with these.
