Among lots of intriguing products at today’s PGA Demo Day, one that sticks out is the line of irons and metal woods from Boccieri Golf, the guys who gave you the Heavy Putter, then the Heavy Wedge. I hit the irons that founder Stephen Boccieri designed and put into production over this past year, with results that got my attention. The swingweights are head-spinningly low — B9, as opposed to somewhere up in the high C or low D level. The model family for this new gear is Total Control, and it’s an apt name. The weight profile causes the club to set very nicely at the top, and then through the transition, and especially through impact. Nor do they feel either heavy or light as you pick them up and waggle them. The trick is counterweighting… loading up the handle with mass–that changes the leverage action dramatically. More to come on this and other products.
