Tested: Progen Chromo irons

GM verdict: The eye-catching graphics are refreshingly modern. This isn?t style over substance, though, as the irons are very forgiving, without looking too bulky at address. The balance is excellent and will appeal to golfers of all handicaps. The hybrid clubs also offer plenty of forgiveness. But... although PGA professional John Jacobs was a big fan of the vibration-dampening stock grips, I didn?t like the very soft feel or the lack of feedback on offer. PGA pro verdict I really liked the design of these irons. They?re great to look down on at address, and the head shape is very appealing through the set. I tested these irons over a long period of time, and their performance was consistent throughout. They?re workable, easy to launch, and great in the short irons, giving plenty of spin on approach shots. The grips felt really comfortable, and offered decent feel. They were also effective at reducing vibrations, particularly in the long irons, which is useful during long practice sessions. The stepless shafts delivered impressive feel and consistency, and match the head design perfectly. A really strong return by Progen.
