Pros & cons
- Hollow head houses a 65g tungsten weight — 45g more than the standard Forged Tec sibling — for lower CG and greater forgiveness
- 7-iron at 27° is one of the strongest-lofted distance irons around — 1-5yd longer than standard Forged Tec per side-by-side reviewer testing
- Opens a brand new 'players game-improvement' category with strong lofts and shrunken profile — slots between players-distance and GI
- Tungsten and foam filling the cavity deliver premium hollow-body construction with damping at the 2021 players-GI price point
- Independent testing flagged that consistency is a knock relative to the competition
- Flat penetrating ball flight — shots don't soar high, limited stopping ability on small firm greens
- Relatively clicky sound — distance-iron-leaning acoustic doesn't reach the muted thwack of the standard Forged Tec sibling
- Now 4+ years old — superseded by 2022/2024 KING Forged Tec X line; thicker topline and wider sole flag this as 2019-era GI silhouette
