Performance Notes:
-
Player Profile: Suited for mid-to-high handicappers (10–20 handicap) with moderate swing speeds (80–95 mph driver speed), seeking forgiveness, distance, and a premium feel. Ideal for players transitioning from game-improvement to player’s irons.
-
Distance and Forgiveness: Testing shows 5–10 yards more carry than traditional irons (e.g., 7-iron at 165–175 yards for 85 mph swing speed, ~5,500 rpm spin), with excellent forgiveness on mishits due to the larger head and Ai Smart Face.
-
Feel and Sound: The forged 455 face and urethane microspheres deliver a soft, premium feel with a muted, tour-like sound on center strikes; mishits produce slightly sharper feedback but remain forgiving.
-
Shaft Options: Stock shafts include True Temper Dynamic Gold Mid 90 (Regular/Stiff, steel, 90g, high launch/mid spin) and UST Mamiya Recoil Dart HDC 70 (Senior/Regular/Stiff, graphite, 70g, mid launch). Custom shafts available (e.g., KBS, Project X).
-
Grip: Stock Golf Pride Z-Grip (50.5g); custom options like Golf Pride MCC or Lamkin Crossline available.
