Why We Like It
Some irons in this category go heavy on the distance and light on the players. This one is the right combination of both. A slim hosel provides a pleasing visual at address, and the offset produces a natural flow through the set—both small enhancements better players will appreciate. The face has plenty of sizzle thanks to the use of a forged SUP10 steel plate featuring a variable-thickness pattern of grooves, channels and cavities milled into the back of the iron face to maximize rebound at impact.

I love the heel design. It's like magic when hitting shots out of divots. Gave me a very consistent trajectory. Straighter-shot shape with a lot of forgiveness.
Jason, 47, Handicap: 0A compact design that delivers control and power to the ball. Frames the ball well. Blade-like edge rips through the turf. Consistent, free and easy hitting experience.
Ryan, 48, Handicap: 10Shots come off with power and a pleasing click at impact. Responsive and forgiving with a straighter, spinning ball flight.
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.
