We tested: 3-PW in True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.25"/31°

Company line: "Our first MP iron with a full cavity, resulting in significantly larger sweet-spot area than any previous MP. It produces a slightly higher ball flight in long irons, a mid-trajectory in scoring irons and the feel and shotmaking ability that MP iron players crave."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Nimble versatility from a variety of lies; beautiful forged "click" combines with crisp, fluid, soft feel; more forgiving than other MP irons; consistent performers; best for precise ballstrikers who want a trajectory boost; terrific-looking clubs; score very high for accuracy and workability; ideal weight and balance; responsive to shotmaking input; mid- to short irons are pure precision.

CONS: Off-center hits feel weak; noticeable loss of distance on mis-hits; these demand the swing of a better player; some find the short irons too big.

"You'd be hard-pressed to find a more accurate iron." — Mike Nastasi (9)
