The takeaway

A blade that feels soft.

They agree

  • +Soft feel from the internal dampener
  • +Among the best looking irons tested
  • +Tight, repeatable carry and spin
  • +Blends with the CB in a combo set

The knocks

  • −Spin lower than expected for a muscle back
  • −Top edge a bit squared off
  • −Not a true compact blade

Buy it ifyou strike it well and want blade looks with some feel help built in

Skip it ifyou want a genuinely small head or need forgiveness

Loved it

“Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer. Look at those.”

A modern muscle back with dampening tech that delivers a spongy, rewarding feel and the most consistent numbers he's seen; going in his bag from seven iron down.

+ the facts · 4 pros
  • +Lovely soft feel from the internal dampener, not just a chunk of metal behind the ball
  • +Extremely consistent spin and carry numbers
  • +Clean, stunning looks milled from a single billet of 1025 carbon steel

For: Better ball strikers who want blade looks with some built-in tech and feel

Michael Newton Golf

On-course, season-long club tests

Liked it

“That's a gorgeous feel to it.”

A muscle back that is far more forgiving-looking than a typical blade, with a gorgeous feel and the tightest front-to-back dispersion of the three.

+ the facts · 6 pros · 3 cons
  • +Tightest front-to-back dispersion of the three models
  • +Gorgeous feel, essentially identical to the CB so the two blend perfectly
  • +Thinner, more preferable top edge than the CB
  • −Spin was lower than Michael expected for a muscle back
  • −Top edge still a little squared off rather than rounded
  • −Does not look or play like a true compact blade

For: Ball strikers who want blade feel without a genuinely tiny head
