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 a soft, workable players' cavity with more forgiveness 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
- Sublime 5-step forged feel from 1025 carbon steel
- More forgiving than a blade, thanks to an undercut cavity
- A compact, elegant players' shape with real shot control
Cons
- Still a players' iron — off-centre strikes lose ball speed
- Traditional lofts and a control flight give up distance
- Demands a fairly consistent strike
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairForgiving for a players' iron — a CNC-milled undercut cavity moves weight to the heel and toe, holding ball speed on a mishit.
Distance
FairControl over carry — traditional lofts and a compact forged head favour precise, repeatable distances over raw length.
Workability
ExcellentHighly workable — a compact, shortened forged blade 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, hot strike on centre with plenty of feedback on a miss.
Sound
ExcellentA crisp, responsive note when flushed — a damping medallion keeps it clean and refined off the forged face.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA compact, elegant players' cavity — a shortened blade with a thin top line and minimal offset that sets up beautifully.
