• An elastomer insert saves 21 grams that is redistributed low and towards the perimeter to boost launch and foster forgiveness. • The elastomer has the bonus of promoting a pleasing feel, even on off-centre strikes. • Tungsten toe and tip weights provide the kind of stability that has mis-hits finding the front of the green rather than the bunker guarding it. • Top 5 in Forgiveness, low- and middle-handicaps • Specs: 7-iron: 33 degrees; PW: 45 degrees
• This sharp-looking iron undergoes a robotic polishing process to ensure consistent geometries and a flawless finish. • The clubheads feature a hollow body with a polymer inside the head to improve spin consistency. • The HT 1770 maraging- steel face is slightly thicker than on other PXG irons and features

‘This is a very consistent iron – repeatable strikes and ball flights, launch angles and spin rates. They all felt really good, with power and control.’ – 7-HANDICAP
‘This probably has more forgiveness than some. Not

penalised so much on non-perfect strikes. Players irons are too hard to hit for many golfers, but this one is not.’ – 1-HANDICAP
• Specs: 7-iron: 32 degrees; PW: 46 degrees
