“I think I gained 15 yards seven iron”

An OEM fitting at the Callaway Performance Center took a 55-year-old golfer from a 150-yard 7-iron to 164-165 with a more penetrating flight and a look that reassured him it was still a good-looking club.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons
  • +Roughly 15 yards more with the 7-iron
  • +More penetrating, more consistent flight
  • +High smash factor and ball speed
  • −Some shots still felt leaky, needs solid contact

For: Older or higher-handicap golfers battling a slice and loss of distance
