| Accuracy |
|
|
|
We found the Innovex RLS irons to be as accurate as our comparison irons. The irons set up nicely behind the ball. The loft progression between the club works to provide accurate and consistent distance throughout the set. We were able to get dialed in with these irons quickly. |
 |
| Distance |
|
|
The distance of the RLS irons were found to be slightly longer than our comparison sets. While not the longest irons we have tested, the distances produced by the RLS irons are consistent throughout the set. Very rarely did it ever seem that we were in between clubs on a shot. |
 |
| Trajectory |
|
|
|
The trajectory of these irons was higher than our current sets, especially in the long irons. The loft of the RLS 5-iron is 27 degrees compared to our comparison set's 5-iron lofts of 27 and 29 degrees. |
 |
| Feel |
|
|
The midsize cavity back design produced a very soft and solid feel at impact. These are among the softest feeling cavity back irons that we have reviewed. The i-Steel steel shaft by Accuflex provides a mid-weight shaft with universal flex. Smooth swings produced a nice click at impact.
|
 |
| Forgiveness |
|
|
The RLS irons are slightly more forgiving than our comparison sets. The head design allows for a slight margin for mishits with minimal penalty on distance. Severe heel and toe shots were affected mainly in distance loss. We were able to work the ball in both directions.
|
 |
| Looks |
| The RLS irons are simple in design with clean stampings and minimal graphics. The cavity features a black Innovex medallion that is simple in taste and acceptable from an aesthetics perspective. The stepless steel shaft and clean Crossline Black grip by Lamkin for Innovex completes the understated look. |

Summary:
The RLS irons from Innovex Golf are targeted toward golfers of all abilities. They receive high marks for accuracy, value, and overall performance. The head design is simple and uncluttered and combined with the progressive loft system and custom shaft selection makes the RLS irons a worthy candidate in the iron category.
