Where it wins
- Feel91
- Looks90
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a low-to-mid handicapper who wants forged feel and shot control with a little more help than a blade.
You miss the centre often, need easy height or distance, or want a bigger head — a game-improvement iron fits better.
Pros
- Superb 5-step forged feel and full shot control
- More forgiving than a blade, thanks to tungsten toe weighting
- A clean, compact players' cavity-back with a smart black finish
Cons
- Still a players' iron — off-centre strikes lose ball speed
- Traditional lofts and a control flight give up distance
- Demands a consistent strike and a decent swing speed
By dimension
Forgiveness
ModestForgiving for a players' iron — a bored-out toe packed with tungsten expands the sweet spot beyond what the compact cavity suggests.
Distance
FairControl over carry — traditional lofts and a forged cavity-back build favour precise, repeatable distances over raw length.
Workability
StrongHighly workable — a compact forged head with minimal offset lets a skilled player shape it both ways on command.
Feel
Class-leadingSuperb — a five-step forging of 1025 carbon steel gives a soft, solid strike on centre and precise feedback on a miss.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, clean note when flushed — quiet and solid off the forged face, the muted sound better players prefer.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA clean players' cavity-back — a compact head with a thin top line and minimal offset, in a glare-cutting black finish.
