Shorter hosel for better launch in long irosn, longer hosel in short, mid-irons. Impact area muscle, with blunted leading edge and cambered sole.

Looks: Again these clubs are forged from carbon steel and are slightly longer in blade length and have what I'd describe as a 'softer', less severe top line. They have a cavity/muscle back to deliver increased mass behind the impact area. Definitely produced a constant launch angle and spin rate and therefore good distance control.

Feel/performance: The cavity back gave me a little more forgiveness than the MB version to help any slight miss-hit strikes. Seemed to me a wonderful compromise between the bladed irons and the help provided by the Titleist AP1 and AP2 models.
