Performance and Playability

  • Consistent Distance: Stronger lofts (approximately one club stronger than standard) contribute to impressive distance gains while maintaining reliable yardages.
  • Effortless Launch: The irons make it easy to get the ball airborne, even with long irons—ideal for players who want a higher trajectory.
  • Forgiveness on Off-Center Hits: Even less-than-perfect strikes retain good distance and accuracy, helping golfers stay in play.
  • Confidence with Long Irons: The forgiving design and optimized weighting make these some of the easiest long irons to hit, even for those who traditionally struggle with them.

Key Performance Features

  • Contour Ellipse Face: A thinner, multi-thickness design that enhances ball speed retention on off-center strikes.
  • Seamless Cup Face: A one-piece structure that increases flexibility across the clubface, boosting speed and consistency.
  • Nickel Tungsten Weighting: Strategically placed to promote higher launch angles and steeper landing trajectories for better control.
  • Variable Sole Thickness: Designed to maximize energy transfer and increase forgiveness without reducing face flex.
  • Harmonic Impact Technology: A precisely engineered head shape enhances feel and sound, eliminating unwanted vibrations.
