Kane Golf Super Hawk irons
They look like Callaways but you get what you pay for...
At first glance you could be swinging one of the new Callaway Big Bertha irons – the chunky face, the offset head, the deep cavity back. Even the blue inset label is similar. However, there is a difference in performance and price. Whereas the Callaway clubs have a good meaty feel off the clubface and inject a strong, powerful flight, the Super Hawk irons lacked the consistency of strike and forgiveness. Best way to describe it is the old Irish term – the feel off the clubface felt ‘a little empty’. But you get what you pay for. Callaway’s new irons will set you back £750 for nine irons, compared with £350 for the Kane Golf version. The sample we tried was £279 fitted with an ‘Awesome’ steel shaft. What I did like in the Super Hawk irons was the soft feel of the wrap-style rubber grip. It prevents your hands getting too tense at address. | |
Verdict | |
These irons are easy to use and give the ball a high trajectory – but height doesn’t always equate with distance, accuracy and control. | |
