Tour Edge Exotics Blade Key Feature: A weight bar in its muscle cavity that lowers the center of gravity.
What We Like: With a CNC milled face, the Exotics Blades feature the largest grooves allowed by the USGA. They call ’em blades, but forgiveness like this can only mean these irons are actually a cavity-back.
Who It’s For: Low Handicappers who want a healthy dose of forgiveness to go with a sweet, forged feel.

Wilson Pi7 Key Feature: Heel and toe weighting and a thin topline increase the club’s MOI.

Who It’s For: Low-handicappers who like to shape shots.
