So, first impressions, this thing is definitely aimed at a better player. It’s got that small body. It looks like a tour player design. Really, really slick looking. This gives me that nostalgic feel back to the old X for Forge that Callaway did make a while ago. Real player inspired. The other thing I love about this, and it’s not going to show up indoors as much, but is this triole design. It’s basically kind of three separate angles across the sole. The main one being this leading edge having a nice camber to it. Just means if you’re coming in steep, the club’s going to get out of the ground a bit easier. Those steep players are going to love that. Those players with lots of speed like that. It helps get the club out of the ground a little quicker. Let’s put this thing to the test. That 1020 carbon steel is going to feel soft. Feel is sound. It’s just basically going to be a more muted, quieter golf club. Similar kind of strike there. I didn’t get all of that, but we’re still going to hit our yardage. This is going to be the higher spinning model of the two. You would think this has got 33° 7 iron. We think about blades these days having 34 or 35.
