Feel Sensation
Feel Sensation irons with Feel steel shafts and
Feel Tour Velvet style grips. Swingweight - D5;
5 iron length - 38".
Manufacturer's Description
The Feel Sensation irons features a mid-size cavity back design
available in steel and graphite with a thin top line often preferred
by Tour Players. The perimeter weighting adds forgiveness with no loss of
distance.
A slightly lighter swingweight allows for greater swing speed
and precise control of the clubhead. The slight offset helps keeps hands
in front of
the clubhead where they belong, producing that "distinct "FEEL" at
impact. Click here for complete manufacturer specifications.

Feel Sensation:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
| The Sensation irons were found to be among the most accurate that we have reviewed. Off-center hits had a tendency to remain fairly true with pushes and pulls only resulting in shots not far off the intended target line. One reviewer indicated that these irons were hard to not hit straight. | ||
|
||
| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
| The distance with the Sensation irons was about average with similar models reviewed. Two of our reviewers indicated that these irons were slightly shorter than their current set of clubs. In each case, the comparison sets either had stronger lofts than the Sensation irons or shafts that promoted a lower trajectory. Our other reviewer felt that these irons were as long as most traditional lofted sets available. That being said, average to long hitters should be satisfied with the overall distance provided by the Sensation irons. | ||
|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| The ball flight provided by the Sensation irons was found to be higher than most models reviewed. The trajectory was very consistent throughout the set. We found that while the primary ball flight was high and straight, we were also able to work the ball with no problem with these clubs. One reviewer that typically hits a fade found that his tendency with these irons was to hit a slight draw. | ||
|
||
| Feel | Less-Avg-More |
|
Overall, all reviewers were pleased with
the feedback that these irons provided. A couple of our
reviewers were pleasantly surprised by the nice solid feel
that these game improvement irons exhibited. All noted
that there was minimal vibration with these irons even
on toe and heel shots. One reviewer, however, indicated
that the irons were a little on the light side compared
to his present irons (Mizuno Comp EZ). |
||
|
||
| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
The Sensation irons were found to be very forgiving by all reviewers. With heel and toe shots, some distance was sacrificed (5-7 yards) but this was very minimal compared to a blade design. It was felt that the wide sole and extra weight in the lower section of the head made these irons feel very solid at impact and increased the club's forgiveness. |
||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| Our reviewers liked the look with few exceptions. It was felt that from the side and at address, the Sensation irons are striking and look very playable. The generous head length instilled confidence at address and the club's performance followed suit. The irons have a thin top line that many golfers prefer, although one reviewer felt this was a little intimidating in the longer irons. The irons feature a high square toe that some golfers like while others prefer a more rounded toe. The club offers clean simple graphics although we would prefer that the "FEEL" stamping on the back of the topline be oriented the same as the "Sensation" stamping in the cavity. Or better yet, we think that the irons would have an even cleaner, less cluttered look without this stamping. Minor preferences aside, these irons have a sturdy, playable and confidence-building look to them that encourages good shots. | ||
