Loved it

There's not much to dislike here. Great looks, great feel.

Maxfli's first iron in over 30 years seriously impressed him, matching the P790 on data while offering a softer traditional forged feel and a sharp direct-to-consumer price.

+ the facts · 5 pros · 3 cons
  • +Stunning minimalist looks, brushed matte finish and sparing single-color branding feel premium
  • +Springy-soft single-forging with tungsten and ceramic inserts, more traditional forged feel than hollow-body rivals
  • +Held spin impressively even on heel and low mishits, steep descent angles to hold greens
  • Shorter irons look a touch angular with a high toe at address
  • Gave up significant long-iron distance to the P790, 218 vs 231 yards in the 4 iron
  • Loft increments differ from rivals through the set, so compare carefully when switching

For: Traditional forged or blade players losing distance who want a boost without sacrificing soft feel
