Where it wins
- Distance80
- Feel78
- Sound78
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
Mid-to-high handicaps (10-25) at 75-100 mph swing speeds who want PXG 0311-level technology and forgiveness in a budget package.
Single-digit players who need workability + soft forged feel, or buyers who prioritise stopping power on firm greens.
Pros
- Same extremely high ball speed and excellent forgiveness as the more expensive sibling — premium tech at budget pricing.
- Loft structure shared with the premium 0311 GEN3 XP irons, with strong lofts + DualCOR technology + World's Thinnest Face.
- Streamlined silhouette with thin top edge that hides the GI head shape — looks like a players iron at address.
- ~£110/club launch pricing makes it one of the best value-for-money GI irons of 2021.
Cons
- Strong 28° 7-iron loft + GI design = low-launch / low-spin profile that struggles to hold firm greens.
- Cast (not forged) construction caps the absolute feel ceiling vs forged players-iron benchmarks.
- Designed for mid-to-high handicaps — single-digit players will outgrow it quickly due to limited workability.
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongReviewer testing: the same extremely high ball speed as the more expensive sibling and the same excellent forgiveness relative to size. DualCOR technology uses soft and firm polymers for better energy transfer and stability. Editorial coverage: progressive offset, blade length and bounce for an ideal blend of accuracy and distance across the iron set. The design improves forgiveness as it tapers slightly wider towards the toe. Solid mid-to-high handicap forgiveness in a streamlined silhouette.
Distance
StrongEditorial coverage: loft structure is the same as the more expensive sibling, with strong lofts combined with DualCOR technology and the World's Thinnest Face, making for higher ball speeds than found in any other iron. 7-iron loft 28° — substantially stronger than traditional. Reviewer testing reported extremely high ball speed equivalent to the premium platform. Class-leading distance for the budget GI category.
Workability
FairGame-improvement profile with strong lofts (28° 7-iron) + progressive offset through the long irons limits shape-shifting capability. Editorial coverage: thin profile that straddles the line between players irons and game improvement irons — but still GI-oriented. Reviewer testing: consistent performance of much larger irons — built for predictability, not shaping. Designed for buyers who want a workable look without the demands.
Feel
StrongReviewer testing: ball springing off the face, but the club face feels solid and supported. DualCOR construction uses soft and firm polymers — engineered for impact stability. Cast (not forged) construction caps the absolute feel ceiling vs forged players-iron benchmarks, but the DualCOR system delivers better-than-typical-cast tactile feedback.
Sound
StrongReviewer testing: quiet, robust click of impact. DualCOR polymer system dampens vibration vs typical cast distance irons. Refined acoustic for the budget GI category — quieter than direct competitors but still clearly cast-iron in character.
Looks at address
StrongEditorial coverage: the design hides what would have been the sort of thick top edge expected of a mid-handicap iron, but at the same time improves forgiveness as it tapers slightly wider towards the toe. Super-thin face, angled top rail that removes weight from the topline. Reviewer testing: more streamlined than the original 0211 irons. Premium-looking GI silhouette despite the budget pricing — thin top edge inherited from the more expensive platform.
