Listen to low handicappers, we’re not telling you it’s time to replace it 4-when with a hybrid-ie if you want, we won’t stop you-but it may be time to see a more forgiving opportunity than the rest of your group.
thrust The winner of this week, Russell Henleywho like many players in PGA Tour Uses a combined set of handcuffsexchanging the 4-hook that matches the rest of his group for a more forgiving model.
Specifically, Henley employs a first -generation first generation of first -generation Title T100 Irons For 5- through 9-Herkuri (vast majority of title employees Use a Vokey Pitching wedge Instead of a set) but within the past year, Henley decided to change the T100 4-Iron for a more forgiving current generation T200 4-Iron.
Now, this is not an action because Henley does not hit well or quite high T100 4-Hakuri. He won his latest PGA Tour title before last weekend with the full group of T100s and had played with that composition until this season.
While we don’t have a window in exactly how he found Henley T200 4-Iron To be a better fit, the most forgiving and fastest design of the T200 is likely to lead to an improvement in holding the ball speed and Henley could more easily hit the ball speed window he is looking to create the right gap. Also also not only Henley could hit the right ball speed he needed-he could have reached it simply by strengthening T100 4-Iron-but he could hit it more easily and more often.

Improved feeling any ingredient of T200 contributes to its strong feeling. The regenerated chassis creates a stronger structure, while allowing refined Max Impact technology to fit more strongly against the new dual face fake. This leads to better feeling and performance across the surface. Pure and safe form of everything that has changed, the form inspired by Tour and T200 remains stable. The players will still attract confidence from a distance iron that looks clean and there is less compensation, with an optimal blade length and high thickness based on players’ reactions.

Ideal involving 5 mph ball changes throughout a group of clubs, so if the T200 4-iron was more consistently 5 mph faster than its T100 5, it was an intelligence that did not throw it into the bag.
Throwing a long forgiving iron at the top of the set has been a growing trend in the tournament for recent years. Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Tom Kim, Rory Mcilroy, Tommy Fleetwood all make it. Even Tiger Woods, in recent years, has removed his 3rd blade and has replaced it with a more forgiving pattern.
These are not just by pointing handcuffs, this is all done to create a better gap throughout the bag.
So, if you find yourself by hitting your 4 iron and 5-hook distances, try a more forgiving option like Henley and see if you can reach that optimal gap.
