Thirteen years after the first MCI in 2012, the evolved "Fujikura New MCI" is Fujikura's flagship model, pursuing high spin and the ultimate feel. With MCT (Metal Composite Technology), a fusion of metal and carbon, it maintains the lightness and smoothness characteristic of carbon while achieving stability like steel. It achieves both distance and control without compromising club balance.
Furthermore, the independently developed "DHX structure" adds a second bias layer to the conventional 45° bias layer, optimally controlling twisting during the swing. As a result, it improves head speed and stabilizes spin rate. This makes it easier for the ball to stop, enabling more aggressive play on the green.
The "gapless outer diameter design," which unifies the feel between club numbers, also reduces discomfort when gripping. Actual human tests have also demonstrated the effects of improved head speed and increased backspin.
In addition to iron models, a 40-inch model for utilities is also available. It is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who are particular about feel, directionality, and distance, as well as beginners who want to try carbon. Please experience the evolved MCI.
<PRGR Iron Strongest Combo>
An "iron combo set" simply means a setup that combines different iron models in one set.
While it used to be common to "use the same model from 5-iron to PW," in recent years, among tour pros,
"Easy-to-hit long to mid-irons, and control-oriented short irons"
has become the mainstream way of using them.
1. Why are "combo sets" popular?
There are two main reasons.
They are "the evolution of ball performance" and "changes in green conditions."
Increased difficulty of long irons
Modern golf balls are evolving in a direction that suppresses spin to enhance distance performance.
Therefore, with traditional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even with a pro's head speed, it is becoming more common for the ball to not get up easily and for a lack of spin to make it difficult to stop on the green.
Shift in role from "distance" to "stopping"
For pros, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just clubs for gaining distance.
They are clubs for aiming at the pin with a high trajectory and stopping firmly on the green.
Therefore, for long to mid-irons,
there is an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models with thicker sole designs and hollow structures.
2. Recommended combos if you're building with PRGR?
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a very easy lineup to create combo settings with.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 x 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (easy to hit with high trajectory)
・7-iron to PW: 01 IRON (focus on control and feel)
Points
Since the 7-iron of 01 (32° loft) is combined with the 6-iron of 02 (28°),
the loft progression is natural, and a combo setting with little difference in feel and no discomfort is possible.
