Surviving the Hot List

What does it take to be a Hot List tester? We sent a documentary crew to the 2022 Hot List testing summit to capture the people, the drama and the secret sauce that goes into golf’s ultimate assignment.

Players Irons

You’re not only a decent player, but ​want to look the part as wellt. Today’s players irons address both those concerns with clubs that provide more than enough forgiveness to assist the occasional missed shot while providing a look that says you’re a player. As such, manufacturers tend to provide some help with the long irons, leading to the use of tungsten or other means to lower the center of gravity for an easier launch. Conversely, better players want their short irons to not get too high in the air, so adding weight to the topline or taking weight out of the sole area to raise the center of gravity checks that box. All while making sure you still look like the player you are.
