Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance79
- Feel79
- Forgiveness78
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a mid-to-high handicapper who wants maximum distance, high launch and forgiveness and doesn't mind a busy look.
You want to shape shots, need more spin and stopping power, or prefer a clean, compact players' look — a players' iron fits better.
Pros
- Exceptionally forgiving with strong ball-speed retention
- Long, high-launching and easy to hit for a mid-to-high handicapper
- A well-damped feel, better than a typical thin-faced distance iron
Cons
- Divisive looks — a carbon-fibre top line and bright chrome
- Low spin and a flatter landing can struggle to hold a firm green
- Strong lofts and offset give little shot-shaping
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongExceptionally forgiving — a low, deep weight and heel-toe tungsten hold ball speed and line even on a strike you miss badly.
Distance
StrongLong — a forged PWRSHELL face with a big sweet spot and strong lofts fire hot ball speed on a high flight.
Workability
ModestBuilt to fly straight — a hollow, strong-lofted, offset head launches high and holds one line, not made to shape.
Feel
StrongDecent for a distance iron — a co-moulded medallion and damping insert firm up and quieten a thin cast face that would otherwise clack.
Sound
StrongA pleasant crack at moderate volume — the medallion damps the worst of a thin cast face, but it stays livelier than a forging.
Looks at address
StrongDivisive at address — a carbon-fibre top line and bright polished chrome read high-tech to some, distracting to others.
