Mark Crossfield
Coach, famously hard to impress
“it performs as good as anything”

- +Effortless distance, the one iron where he had no problem reaching the number
- +Hollow body, split tungsten, VFT with Max Impact and perimeter weighting for real forgiveness
- +High launching with progressive grooves for spin control
- −The ugliest of the four with noticeably more offset
- −Jacked lofts, and not the best in its field, just one of the good ones
- −Titleist barely markets it, so it gets overlooked
For: Higher handicappers and anyone who wants ball speed and help without making golf harder than it needs to be
