Why We Like It
- This sharp-looking iron undergoes a robotic polishing process to ensure consistent geometries and a flawless finish.
- The irons feature a hollow body with a polymer inside the head to improve spin consistency.
- The HT 1770 maraging-steel face is slightly thicker than other PXG irons and features the forgiveness of a hollow body with the playing traits of a single-piece forging.
- A 15-gram internal tungsten weight in the toe enables PXG to boost forgiveness plus optimize the center of gravity so that it stays in line with the center of the face.
- Three-step forged from 8620 carbon steel for a cushiony feel.
- The large tungsten weight on the back of the head is used to achieve the desired swingweight.
- SPECS: 7-iron: 32 degrees; PW: 46 degrees

This is a bit meatier so it's definitely a bit more forgiving, but the performance was really good in the middle of the clubface—and it felt so nice. When it came off the clubface, the sound was good and it performed as expected.
Megan

I like the look with the center weight in the back of the club. Bold design. It wasn't as forgiving as it looked. But when you hit it well, it makes a nice whip sound and you get quality shots. But you better hit it well.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5
2 years testing
It has a pleasing look with some contrast between the face and heel and toe. I didn't get any good feedback in my hands, even on good shots. It's also a little light, so it was difficult to get a consistent ball flight.
Thomas
60, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
It was a little finicky with turf interaction, but I made good contact and got a consistent and penetrating flight that was easy to get through the wind. It wants you to go after it more aggressively, like driving a high-performance sports car. Babying it doesn't do it any good.
RC
63, Handicap 7

It has a little different look in the back, but it's all concealed when you look down over the club. My launch and descent angle were really good and the sole went through turf well.

It looks flashy, and feels like it has some pop to it. If you're looking for distance—and to feel that distance in an iron—this might be a good fit.
Anand

I really liked the 5-iron performance. I found consistency with it. That was a welcome surprise.
David
66, Handicap 8

I love the way it looks, an up-to-date new design. You have to hit it right for it to really go. The length is certainly there when you do.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

The longer irons were thin looking and not as bulky as the short irons. I loved the middle-iron performance. Better contact and launch.
Molly

One thing I really liked about the look of this club was the detail. It has a neat classic look and great shape. They weren't the most forgiving.
Sándor J.
36, Handicap 9

I like the look and sound of these. It's like the ball coming off a baseball bat, and I don't mean an aluminum one. I could just hear it really well.
BK
41, Handicap 1
9 years testing
This probably has more forgiveness than some. Not penalized so much on non-perfect strikes. And the high launch is great. Players irons are too hard to hit for many players, but this one is not extra hard to get in the air. I like that.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
You can feel it working the ball without trying to help it. I love the leading edge, it's perfect. It's not digging in, the club was getting through the turf. It was very responsive acoustically but not too soft. I got the sound I was expecting from it.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
The biggest thing that stuck out is there's a lot of weight in the head and it will power through the ground like a bulldozer. The ball flight was pretty consistent, a medium trajectory that went straight. It definitely gets harsh in your hands on off-center strikes.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6
2 years testing
I do like that the clubface has this white at the bottom grove for an alignment aid. It lets you square up the club on the target. When you hit these in the center, they went pretty well. Distance was good, but mis-hits were losing performance. Overall, these are nice clubs.
Skylar
26, Handicap 7
2 years testing
It's very obvious someone took the time to craft these. If you really mis-hit, it's not going to be good, but that's operator error. If you're putting consistent swings on this club, you're going to get consistent results.
Jack
35, Handicap 1

It looks like the side of a tank—flashy and macho at the back of the club. But looking down on it, it could be anything. Fits in with any players iron. It falls on the side of forgiving, too. It helps you hit your stock shot.
Matt
27, Handicap 5
1 year testing
The smaller clubhead is probably more comfortable to look at for better players. Even on mis-hits, it definitely sounded flush—a nice pinging noise. It's a little on the firmer side. Punchy off the face. The ball launched very high with these.

A five-step forging process delivers the feel better players crave.
Metal-injection-molding weights placed in the toe create enhanced workability and control.
The center of gravity is lower in the long irons to boost launch and higher in the short irons to control trajectory on shots from pin-seeking range.

The hollow-body construction and a thinner, more flexible cupface (in which the face wraps around part of the sole and topline) on the 3- through 5-iron provide more ball speed and a higher launch to enhance distance.
The remaining irons have a 1025 forged-carbon-steel face insert designed for precision, accuracy and repeatability in the clubs where distance isn’t as crucial.
The company’s urethane microspheres within the body of the long irons control vibration, enhance feel and allow the face to flex for maximum distance.

A hollow-body construction with a forged, high-strength steel face insert produces plenty of distance sizzle.
The face insert wraps around the leading edge into the sole for more potential ball speed from impacts lower on the face.
Tungsten within the head (as much as 41 grams) lowers the center of gravity for more effective launch.

The single-piece forged cavity-back is more compact than the P·770.
Cavities in the sole are milled out, allowing for tungsten (up to 11 grams) and a slug of lightweight metal-matrix composite to be inserted to lower the center of gravity.
The metal-matrix composite is one-fifth the density of the surrounding steel. This allows for more perimeter weighting and ultimately forgiveness.

The T150 is hotter than the T100 thanks to its stronger lofts (2 degrees) and a channel behind the face that adds spring at impact.
The muscle channel is close to the face to provide a solid feel.
Dense D18 tungsten uses an aerospace brazing process that eliminates weld joints. This allows a more precise center of gravity and extra stability on off-center strikes.

An elastomer insert saves 21 grams that is redistributed low and toward the perimeter to boost launch and foster forgiveness.
