Features and
Benefits:
550 irons
are a true forged carbon steel design, made from a softer alloy
of Carbon Steel called 1035C, lower in Carbon content to allow
Tom Wishon's forging process to pack the steel tighter in the
die to improve grain and eliminate internal voids.
Tom Wishon
uses a 5-step forging process which is one more step than most
all other forged irons; the additional step is done to compress
the steel tighter in the head and to help reduce the amount of
grinding that is required to prepare the irons for nickel/chrome
electro-plating. This also ensures more consistency of shape in
the set.
The progressive
offset from 3.5mm in the 2 and 3 irons, down to 2.0mm in the short
irons is more like what the pros on the PGA Tour have indicated
a preference toward.
550M is
designed to allow clubmakers to "mix-and-match" with
the 550C muscleback forged iron - to choose selected ironheads
from each set to make up the full set. Most typical will be to
use the 2, 3, 4 from the 550C with the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW from
the 550M.
550 AW is
the gap wedge in the set designed to offer shotmaking in between
the PW and SW.
550 irons
have a true "tour grind" shape sole design, which means
it is slighly rounded from the front to back and also has the
leading edge and trailing edge rounded to prevent the sole from
sticking in the turf when it is used.
550M is a
true Muscleback design which is preferred more by better ball
strikers.
550C is
a true Cavity Back design, which means it is forgiving on off-center
hits and recommended for all levels of players.
Finished
in Bright Mirror double nickel/chrome plating - all scorelines,
hosel bore and all logo/wording on each head is CNC machined and
NOT stamped for greater accuracy and higher quality.
Three options
between the two sets are:
1. Full set of 550C cavity back.
2. Full set of 550M muscleback.
3. Mix and Match set of C and M in any mix between the two forged
models.
