Design and Tech Benefits This is probably the classiest looking forged iron out there - the look alone is sure to entice plenty potential buyers. But you'll have to be sure of your own ability to swing these with success. The wider sole has a rounded leading edge allowing the club to glide through the turf to help when striking is not spot on. The forging process should give this a responsive feel to help judging distances.

GM VERDICT Only the best players need bother trying these because we found they weren't too forgiving. They look great and perform well, well worth thinking about if you can afford the hefty price tag.
