Why $649, not $1,400+

Big-brand performance, without the big-brand markup

The clubs are sold direct, so there's no shop margin and no tour-player contracts in the price. What's left is the cost of making a good iron.

Who it's for

Built for handicaps from 5 to 25

More distance and forgiveness than a blade, in a clean players' shape. If you sit outside that range, one of the other two irons fits better.

Reviews4.8★★★★★ · 259 reviews

What golfers sayReviewers mostly talk about feel, distance and value against big-brand sets. A few mention a club breaking at the hosel, and that is answered in the open: build quality is covered by the 2-year guarantee.

Feel, distance, value

The three things reviewers bring up most, usually against the big-brand set they replaced.
