LOFTS 6-iron: 27, PW: 45
TECH TALK The hollow-back design features a very thin face that is supported by 50 pounds per square inch of nitrogen gas inserted into the cavity inside the clubhead (coated with a leak-proof resin). The purpose is to create a springy clubface that doesn’t require any weight to support it.
PLAYER COMMENTS
M “The forgiveness is well-hidden and makes you think you’re hitting a standard iron. And I didn’t feel any vibration, either.”
H “Slides through the turf so well you’d swear there is oil on the bottom of the sole.”
HOT Whether the nitrogen gas has merit (our academics say it does) or is marketing hype is almost irrelevant. The feel of these irons is as sweet as anything. In short, these clubs provide forgiveness where you need it and feel where you want it.
NOT Except in the 4-iron. We would suggest adding a hybrid instead.
