Accuracy |
|
|
Found these irons to be above average in accuracy. Very "blade-like". |
|
Distance |
|
|
Average distance. Lofts are more traditional than today's
irons (5I - 28*, PW -
49*). |
|
Trajectory |
|
|
Average trajectory. Very controllable, especially in the
shorter irons (7, 8, 9, PW). |
|
Feel |
|
|
These irons are cast from soft stainless
steel and provide postive and negative feedback on all
types of shots.
|
|
Forgiveness |
|
|
Not very forgiving. "P" version
is only slightly more forgiving than the "T" blade
version.
|
|
Looks |
Traditional look with small compact head; gray
finish with clean lines and Cleveland script writing; minimal
offset; The 588P and 588T models were marketed as a set that
could be mixed and matched creating a customized set with
similar look and feel based on customer's needs. |
