Why We Like It
A thin titanium face plate maximizes speed for the most leisurely of swingers. The face and an L-shaped structure within the body create a flexible area in the lower part of the face for extra spring where shots are struck most often. The shaft uses 18 percent resin to lighten the weight to promote a faster swing. A weight in the butt end of the shaft takes advantage of that speed by promoting a better swing path. Yes, these irons are pricier than most in this category, but there’s a lot of good technology here.

Reviews
Nice clubhead shape with a very forgiving look. Crisp sound and springy feel off the face. Shots go straight, even off-center hits. Easy to launch the ball high.
Wei, 54, Handicap: 13The offset frames the ball nicely. The lightweight design gives me velocity through impact. Long-iron shots land softly. The sole cuts through the ground cleanly.
Gary, 36, Handicap: 13Longer clubhead inspires confidence. I'm able to hit these long and straight. Mis-hits don’t sacrifice distance and have noticeable feedback in the hands. Don’t have to work hard to get a good result.
Peter, 56, 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. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
