Why We Like It
The idea of super-game-improvement-irons started with helping average golfers, but some clubs in this category fail to commit to that goal. Rather than skimping on the help, this iron embraces the concept fully. A revised design led to a wider front-to-back length, a thinner topline and more weight lower inside the hollow clubhead. The offset is aggressive but serves the purpose of scaling back those wicked slices higher-handicappers often battle. The lofts are a little weaker than other Tour Edge irons because this player needs more help getting the ball in the air compared to the extra yards that might come from stronger lofts.

Reviews
The sole of this club glides beautifully through the turf. The ball goes high and straight. Strikes feel lively and have a more hollow sound to them through impact.
Wei, 54, Handicap: 13The black and blue frames the ball nicely, and the ball gets up quickly with a higher trajectory that doesn’t sacrifice distance. The face is receptive, like it catches the ball. Hard to miss with these.
Daniel, 32, Handicap: 12Every shot feels great. This club has a slightly heavier weighting, but it didn’t take long to get adjusted to it. Center strikes feel smooth and fly high.
Sándor J., 35, Handicap: 9Why 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.
