Our favorite time of year is rolling around and that’s late February to Early March where TSG will be live with our annual coverage of the 2011 Tokyo Golf Fair. The top Japanese golf equipment manufactures are beginning to leak info and images to us in hopes that we create the usual buzz around their soon to be released products.
An amazing new release by ONOFF has caught our eye this week, the new 2011 ONOFF Forged Iron and it looks fantastic! Made of soft forged carbon iron ONOFF has designed a player like cavity back with many of the forgiving attributes that a mid handicap geared iron has. Combine that with the size and shape of a lower handicap iron profile and you have a winner.
Have a look at the top line image above, ONOFF’s approach was to produce a very forgiving iron that suites more players than just the pro level golfer. The slight offset aid’s in creating straighter shots and the slightly thicker top line than most players irons not only enhances feel and forgiveness but gives the golfer a sense of security from above.
A high density tungsten alloy weighting system has been implemented that features a variable weight pattern through the #3 thru #7 irons which not only makes it easier to get the ball in the air but also lends a helping hand to the overall forgiveness of the club. Each iron is produced with a different design employing a tapered face & sole structure to achieve a soft hitting yet solid feel.
The set will be sold standard 5-PW but #3, #4, AW & SW are available separately and of course they meet the new groove rules. Another new technology ONOFF is utilizing is an ultra high density SVF carbon shaft. It’s a new tech that produces a better feel and vibration dampening which incorporates tungsten powder in the four way multi-layered chip design that produces a heavier feel and better distance and direction.
The new 2011 ONOFF Forged irons will be in the pro shop for pre-sale soon for those who would like to get their hands on the first release before it’s sold out. Expect live images soon on GolfToImpress.com!
does the sole weight take away from feel?
The overall design looks contemporary and I like it. The sole weight shouldn’t take away from the feel because it is the back end of the club. I would think that would make the club more forgiving.
It’s not as small as it looks in the images i posted. It’s actually much bigger in real life. I would say it’s definitely mid sized.
Thanks for the update TSGer. They look small in the pic. Will you have a review on this as well and even better a comparison, so we can compare how big they really are.
They look’s great
when a review ?
