Loved it

“The HL like has to be the gold standard option.”

The higher-lofted HL is the thoughtfully executed answer for slower swingers, adding up to four degrees of loft to restore height and stopping power.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons
  • +Up to four degrees more loft (7-iron 28.5 to 32.5) is a genuine difference maker
  • +Restores peak height and descent angle at slower speeds
  • +Protects against mishits while letting good shots hold greens
  • −Still an iron, so a high-lofted wood or hybrid may stop it deader on firm greens

For: Senior golfers, lady golfers or new starters who can't generate much speed but want to keep looking down at an iron.
