We tested: 4-9, PW, UW, SW in Ping AWT steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.25"/30.5°
Company line: "The thickness and shape of the 'custom tuning port' stabilizes the face and provides discretionary weight, which is repositioned to the low toe and perimeter for maximum forgiveness. An elastomer insert helps to produce a solid feel and sound."
Voted Best for Forgiveness in 2008 ClubTest
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: It pardons your mistakes; plays quite silky; high, soaring straight ball flight makes it impressive off a tee; chips are under control with this midsize head; better-than-average distance; great combination of accuracy and forgiveness, keeps mis-hits in play; easy-swinging long irons; very soft, shock-absorbent feel; laser-guided accuracy.
CONS: Offset can lead you too far left if you're not careful; smooth feel all over the face means less feedback on mis-hits; easy to draw but much more difficult to fade.
