Louisville, KY – The PowerBilt® research and development team created the new cavity back PowerBilt TPS Wide-Soled irons with a challenge – make them even more forgiving, without compromising distance, trajectory, and feel. PowerBilt not only met the challenge, its R&D team did it at tremendous value for the golfer, creating great quality clubs at an affordable price. And the iron set even includes two sweet hitting hybrids.
Employing new technology, PowerBilt CNC milled a small cavity into the back of the stainless steel club head. The cavity is angled into the super-wide sole (4-way tour grind), then filled with a lighter, vibration dampening composite material. PowerBilt R&D’s final touch called for replacing the weight saved with two strategically placed, tungsten injections at the bottom of the club head. The result – the lowest center of gravity and sweetest sweet spot a golfer can find in modern, wide-soled cavity back irons.
The set makeup features #3 and #4 hybrid clubs with a lightweight composite crown and graphite shafts, great for golfers who have trouble hitting long irons and/or fairway metals. Use of a composite crown allowed PowerBilt’s R&D team to shift the weight lower, toward the back. A tungsten insert lowers the center of gravity and gives clubs a "draw" bias that provides amazing distance and accuracy. The geometrically-centered sweetspot, balanced head weight and superior hosel strength enables golfers to overcome bad lies better than any club they’ve ever played before. Thanks to PowerBilt TPS Hybrid’s USGA-conforming U-Grooves, golfers swinging these clubs will not only hit greens, they’ll hold them.
MSRP for TPS Wide-Soled Irons set with steel shaft irons and two graphite hybrids is $499. MSRP for all graphite shafts is $549. Either way, it’s a great value for a great set of irons, including two hybrids.
