Why We Like It
Some think super-game-improvement irons are just for players who swing over the top. Some of this thinking can be attributed to the bulky designs. Those who need the help of a SGI iron but still want to look like they have game should give this one a look. The relatively sleek appearance hides the horsepower. Taking weight out of the upper back of the face (where few golfers hit the ball) lowers the center of gravity for better launch. Channels behind the face reduce weight and increase the compression of the ball and ensuing rebound for extra yards.

Reviews
This club is a standout. I like the gradual, slow-climbing ball flight. Shots have a soft landing, regardless of club selection with minimal rollout. Consistent performer.
Ryan, 48, Handicap: 10I like the clean look at address and the firmness off the face. Good feedback that lets me know when I find the center of the face.
Wei, 54, Handicap: 13I like the slim topline and profile. Contact is crisp, and center strikes travel far and straight. Easy to work this club with minimal sidespin. It's a blend of super game improvement and game improvement.
Scott, 36, Handicap: 14Why 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.
