Why We Like It
Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward fixing it, and middle-handicappers tend to hit iron shots on the toe of the club 85 percent of the time (according to data from Arccos). Wilson set out to mitigate that issue by changing the way it uses its “power holes” on the sole of the club. The holes are filled with a polymer and are designed to enhance ball speed. The design team decided the largest of the three holes should be moved to the toe area. Problem solved.
Characteristics
- Changing thicknesses on 27 points on the face increases the sweet spot.
- Weight is moved toward the toe to foster more inertia to reduce ball speed loss on mis-hits.
- A large power hole in the toe area helps shots struck in that spot.
- 7-iron: 27 degrees; PW: 42 degrees

Reviews
I like the look of the compact head and clean back. Feels good on center strikes and mis-hits. Has a firm, strong feel off the face. Very fun to hit.
Chris, 43, Handicap: 9A lot of explosiveness off the face with high, soft-landing shots. Sits nice at address. No overpowering offset or harsh distractions.
Molly, 37, Handicap: 0Feels like the ball surges off the face. Zips through the turf and slams into the ball with a lot of power and speed. Shockingly high ball flight.
Shane, 35, Handicap: 15Why 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.
