Introducing the new KYOEI Dual Weight Tour Iron – Building upon the success of the original Dual Weight one and two the new TOUR is the next evolution of the series featuring all the attributes a better player needs and wants in a Forged Iron.
What Sets It Apart from the Dual Weight II?
Simply put, with the newly developed mold—codenamed X-IRON—this latest version retains 80% of the forgiveness of the original DWII while packing it into a more compact design. It’s the ideal cavity back for blade enthusiasts, featuring zero offset, a slimmer sole, and a refined overall shape. Starting with the non-conforming triple-weight wedge, KYOEI has introduced a series of upgrades designed to elevate performance beyond the competition.
Let’s break them down: At the billet stage KYOEI Golf has taken an extra step that most brands overlook. Working directly with their source supplier in Kobe, Japan, they’ve introduced a key chemical element along with a micro-alloy to enhance the material’s properties. Unlike many companies that simply use whatever billets their factories provide, KYOEI’s deep-rooted industry connections and proximity to Japan’s top steel suppliers have ushered in a new chapter for the brand.
At the finishing stage, KYOEI has also refined its Chrome application process. By softening the chrome layer to reduce brittleness and incorporating a nickel layer to help absorb unwanted vibrations, they’ve crafted a feel that’s exceptionally smooth and pure. Even the polishing process has been upgraded.
After testing nearly every polishing compound and wheel available in Japan, KYOEI has developed a secret formula that results in a breathtaking chrome satin nickel finish. And, of course, the black DLC finish remains an option. For a truly custom aesthetic, I’d recommend pairing these with one of their high-end ferrules and blue-accented rings for a sleek, standout look.
Where the Dual Weight II was considered a Semi Players Cavity Back the new Dual Weight Tour a true players CB by any standard in the game. Better Forging / Better Finish / Better Design – KYOEI GOLF
