Why We Like It
The secret sauce that makes this players iron pack plenty of power is not just stronger lofts than the Titleist T100. A channel behind the face adds the kind of extra zip that is sure to excite better recreational players. Sacrificing feel and forgiveness, however, was not an option: The use of dense tungsten and a slightly thicker topline and sole bolster stability. Also, the lower portion of the face is a shade thicker than the T100 to enhance feel.

Looks clean cut at address. A nice powerful feel that’s muted off of the face. Easy to hit and shape shots. Well-balanced. No nonsense in the best kind of way.
Jack, 34, Handicap: 1Feels explosive off the face. Has nice feedback on center strikes. Cuts through the turf nicely. Easy on the eye. Nice blend of workability and forgiveness.
Molly, 37, Handicap: 0Really receptive on center-face contact. Feels like the ball pops off the face with power. Shots feel consistent. Easy to find the sweet spot.
Conor, 30, Handicap: 7Why 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.
