Why We Like It
This is a lot of club for the money. At a time when many irons are going for $200 a stick, these are half that. Thermoplastic urethane is inserted behind the lower portion of the face. That saves weight that is used for a toe-weight pocket to assist shots hit out in that area—a place many middle-handicappers routinely find. The variable-thickness face is complex, with more than 100 diamond shapes in three thicknesses. Why the different shapes and thicknesses? Because shots hit on the heel and toe behave differently than center strikes, but you want the result to be as consistent as possible across the entire face.
Characteristics
- The 360-degree undercut design moves weight away from the face to bolster forgiveness.
- Toe weighting helps move the center of gravity toward center of the face for a crisper feel.
- 7-iron: 27.5 degrees; PW: 42 degrees

Reviews
This club flat-out performs. The larger, almost oversized clubhead envelops the ball and launches it out with a high, straight ball flight. Confidence grew with each shot.
Ryan, 48, Handicap: 10Makes a pleasing, thunderous crack. Has a powerful feel off the face and is incredibly forgiving. Gets the ball up without trying and produces a high ball flight.
Wei, 54, Handicap: 13These might have a thick topline and huge sole, but they perform. They come off the face quick. Lots of distance. Nice, almost cushioned sound through impact.
Jason, 47, Handicap: 0Why 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.
