“Does feel nice and soft off that club face.”

A stunning, fully forged blade-style iron at a direct-to-consumer price with real customization, though spin numbers were less consistent than expected and forgiveness is limited.

+ the facts · 7 pros · 4 cons
  • +Looks stunning with a clean all-satin finish and a hollowed-in back
  • +1020 carbon steel one-piece forging feels genuinely soft with great sound
  • +Excellent feedback on toe and low-face strikes
  • −Spin varied noticeably shot to shot, with front-to-back dispersion from 161 to 174
  • −Forgiveness is quite limited compared to a cavity back
  • −Direct to consumer only, so you cannot try before you buy and must know your own specs

For: Single figure to low handicap golfers who want control and workability over distance.

“It's an every man's players blade”

A one-piece forged 'playable blade' that plays more like a compact cavity back, superb value under £1000 with excellent front-to-back dispersion, let down slightly by a firm, piercing sound.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons
  • +Under £1,000 with extensive per-iron customization (one-of-one)
  • +Soft 1020 carbon steel with more forgiveness/ball speed than a true blade
  • +Obscene front-to-back dispersion (plus/minus 3.3-4.5 yards)
  • −High, piercing acoustic sound doesn't marry the soft feel
  • −32-degree 7-iron loft feels slightly off (reviewer wanted 34)
  • −Left-to-right dispersion could be better

For: The modern everyman player who wants a customizable players blade without the £1,500-£3,000 price tag
