Design and Tech Benefits Each club has a slightly different design with blade length shortening and cavity back 'shallowing' from long to short irons to provide maximum feel and control.
GM VERDICT These are just about the most attractive set of irons you'll be likely to see at your local club. The highly polished, thin short iron blades are sure to attract plenty of ambitious golfers. Each club is designed slightly differently, the short irons offer excellent workability and very clean stikes - ideal for low handicap players. The long irons do offer a little bit more help but a bad strike will lose distance and accuracy. Their unforgiving nature will restrict their appeal to those who can rely on solid striking performances.
