Pro 245

Reviewer testing: most forgiving option of the three Pro 2024 irons. Internally suspended 47g tungsten in 2-7 irons (up from 30g on predecessor) enables the sole to flex for faster ball speeds and improve launch. Industry testers: limited forgiveness on mishits; requires precise contact — the more compact silhouette trims off-centre tolerance vs predecessor. Slight regression in pure forgiveness vs predecessor — trade-off for the muscle-back-look silhouette.

Launch monitor: gave up 4.8mph of ball speed and 13 yards of 7-iron carry distance compared to the JPX923 Hot Metal Pro — but launched higher with more spin. 7-iron loft 34° — substantially weaker than predecessor's 30° (4° weaker), trading raw yardage for stopping power. Reviewer testing: measurably quicker off the face than the 243 cavity sibling. Tungsten increase from 30g→47g delivers more flex. Distance trade vs predecessor (weaker lofts cost yards) but improvement over the cavity sibling.

Reviewer testing: compact player's iron shape at address, and leans toward workability and feel by reducing the blade length while still maintaining improved distance and stability. Industry tester: looks like a butter knife but plays like a sledgehammer. Hollow body but blade-shaped — 34° 7-iron loft gives skilled players room to flight it both ways. Step up from predecessor's larger silhouette.

Reviewer testing: leans toward workability and feel — fully forged construction in a compact head. Larger 47g tungsten weight + more compact head concentrates feedback at impact — denser tactile signature than the predecessor. Editorial coverage notes the family acoustic refinement carries over from the 2024 platform. Improvement over predecessor's already-strong hollow-body feel baseline.

Hollow body construction with larger tungsten weight produces refined acoustic — reviewer testing cited the family-wide 2024 acoustic improvements. Same general acoustic character as predecessor with marginal refinement from the more compact head. Better than predecessor baseline.

Reviewer testing: compact head that resembles a muscle back blade. Industry tester: James Bond in a tuxedo in terms of looks; blade-like appearance despite hidden forgiveness technology. Manufacturer reduced blade length vs predecessor — more compact tour-ready silhouette. Premium players-distance aesthetic that genuinely looks like a forged blade in the bag.
