Why We Like It
Most traditional irons use a two- or three-step forging process, but these irons use a five-step process that more effectively aligns the grain structure of the metal and reduces the number of voids. This process allows for tighter control of the weight specs and reduces the amount of hand polishing, leading to a more precise clubhead. The grooves are milled into the face so they can be manufactured closer to the USGA limit. A channel behind the hitting area is filled with a thermoplastic urethane to keep the feel just right.

Reviews
I could fade or draw it without the ball spinning too much. Has a lower launch but better takeoff, which made the ball stay in the sky longer.
Paul, 62, Handicap: 4I love the forgiveness of this club. It has a very smooth feel, launches the ball high quickly and produces a consistent ball flight.
Alejandra, 25, Handicap: 5Makes a softer, more muted sound than other cavity-backs in the category. Center strikes come off with energy and produce a penetrating ball flight that travels pretty far.
Wayne, 59, 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.
