Tour Edge Hot Launch Max D Ironwoods

Ironwood is Tour Edge's name for this style of iron, and the Max D pushes the idea further than most, leaning on a wide sculpted sole, perimeter weighting and enough offset to help the face square up on its own. Shallow faces sit low to the ground. That matters for the player this set is built for, who is likelier to catch the ball slightly thin than to compress it into the turf.

Sets ship as a four to pitching wedge run, seven heads in all, with the seven at 29 degrees and full face grooves reaching to the toe, where plenty of strikes in this category actually land. Shafting splits between graphite and steel, the Aldila Ascent or the KBS Max MT85. Both hands are covered. Anyone wanting hybrids at the top should take the combo set.
