MAUMEE, OH ¡V Henry-Griffitts, the seminal force in custom club fitting for 26 years, announces the release of its new OS-1 Irons. The successor to the RDH 3 Iron Series, the OS-1 features a Curvilinear Sole to offer improved consistency, control and playability.
The Curvilinear Sole is designed with optimized weight distribution — a lower center of gravity, strategically placed tungsten/copper sole weights, wide sole and cutout back design. The result of the Curvilinear Sole is apparent at club-ball impact. Even off center hits are improved and the ball launches into the air faster and higher.
¡§The OS-1 is exceptionally forgiving, but gives the player the freedom to play all shots,¡¨ says Randy Henry, founder of Henry-Griffitts. ¡§The sole has great playability and allows a wide variety of shots for all golfers ¡V zero to high handicaps.¡¨
The OS-1¡¦s classy and stylish design provides the golfer with a desirable aesthetic without sacrificing the performance of the club. It also features a fly-cut-machining process to ensure a perfectly flat face, machine-engraved grooves and the softest stainless head to eliminate imperfections in the club and increase consistency for the player.
¡§With the new Curvilinear Sole design the Henry-Griffitts OS-1¡¦s deliver the best combination of forgiveness, playability and versatility in an iron set,¡¨ said Sandra Palmer, LPGA Professional and member of the Texas Hall of Fame and NCAA Golf Hall of Fame. ¡§This is an ideal choice for all golfers looking for more benefits and better playability.¡¨
OS-1 Irons will be available in May 2009 from Henry-Griffitts Certified Teachers nationwide.
The suggested retail price for the OS-1 irons from Henry-Griffitts is $160.00 per club (steel shaft) and $175.00 per club (graphite shaft).
OS-1 Iron Features
Tungsten/Copper Sole Weights: Lowers the center of gravity, moving it away from the face to produce a higher launch angle. Strategically located to increase the moment of inertia and stabilize the head through every shot.
Cutout Back Design: Reconfigured to allow for a more optimal distribution of weight and increase the consistency of ball flight.
Fly-Cut-Machined Faces: Guarantees absolute flatness of the face.
Machine-Engraved Grooves: Machined scorelines improve consistency, especially when combined with an absolutely flat face.
Curvilinear Sole : Designed for performance from any lie on any ground condition.
Softest 431 Stainless Head: Using the softest 431 Stainless available to construct the head allows greater lie angle options and superior feel.
