We tested: 4-9, PW, AW in Speed Step SL steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.75"/30°
Company line: "Our 'PowerBow' design and ultra-light Cryo Steel face [in 4- to 7-irons] deliver an expanded COR and high moment of inertia. The polyurethane insert [yellow] in the back cavity dampens unwanted impact vibration."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Good directional forgiveness, enough control and accuracy to keep you in play on slight mis-hits; clubface delivers respectable distance on well-struck tee balls; Attack wedge is a useful short game tool; significant upgrade over original Slingshot in terms of look and feel; blows through light rough; plenty of sole weight gets shots airborne easily.
CONS: Heel or toe hits cost you distance; feedback to the hands could be more than some people are looking for; sweet spot seems smaller than many others tested; yellow insert in the cavity detracts from the club's overall appearance.
