Why We Like It
The look is so elegant that you might expect to find this one in the bag of The Golden Bachelor (who does play golf), but substance is plentiful, too. The hard-to-hit long irons have a backbar that lowers the center of gravity and combines with a new slot design to promote higher launch. The short irons, however, have a backbar with extreme heel-toe weighting to boost forgiveness and a different slot to maximize ball speed.
Characteristics

Reviews
Feels supercharged off of the face with a mid ball flight. I feel confident that shots will hold a green. Big sweet spot. Tough to miss the center, but forgiving if you do.
Daniel, 32, Handicap: 12A really pretty club with a thin topline and longer face. Offset suggests extra forgiveness. High, straight ball flight: I hit it farther than any club in the category.
Peter, 56, Handicap: 7Shallow face height that feels powerful at address. Cuts through turf effortlessly and sends the ball far. Shots pop off the face. Every shot is like a missile.
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.
