Design and Tech Benefits
The weight screws in the rear are designed to improve balance, reduce clubhead distortion at impact and help enlarge the sweetspot. A wide head design is intended to make it easier to achieve a more consistent contact from a variety of lies.
Golf Monthly Verdict
Generates a fairly low ball flight but still achieves plenty of distance. It has a fairly large and heavy head for a utility and this can make it slightly more difficult to power through the rough.

I have all four lofts of this club in my bag and they have transformed my game. I have always struggled with five irons and lower, but have no trouble with these. To be fair I cannot rate them against other hybrids, I only know that the first one I purchased just sat nicely and felt right.
I have gradually added the others and now the longest iron in my bag is a six iron. The 26 degree loft compares to a five iron, and the 17 degree to a two iron. I have never had a two iron and rarely ever used a three iron. Well our course is 64000 yards from the yellow tees and now I do use the 17 degree, and the 20 degree (three iron equiv) is my third most used club behind my putter and driver.
