The RAUNE series is a line of high-performance graphite carbon shafts developed by Graphite Design with the theme of "aiming." The design philosophy, which started with wedges, has been applied to irons, achieving excellent directionality and feel.
Using a different lamination technology from the TOUR AD series, the material composition is optimized for each club number. This delivers performance tailored to the role required of each club, supporting stable shots.
For long irons, the balance point closer to the grip improves swing through. The flex return of the mid-tip creates a high launch angle, allowing for an easy ball lift.
For short irons, the design utilizes the flex of the grip while suppressing tip movement. This provides high control performance, suitable for delicate shots aimed at the pin.
＜PRGR Irons: The Strongest Combo＞
A "combo set of irons" simply means a setting that combines different models of irons within a single set.
While it was once common to "match the same model from 5-iron to PW," in recent years, among tour pros,
"Long to mid irons for forgiveness, and short irons for control"
has become the mainstream approach.
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 have evolved to suppress spin to increase distance performance.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even with professional head speeds, it's becoming harder to get the ball up and spin is often insufficient to stop it on the green.
Shift in role from "distance" to "stopping"
For pros, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just about gaining distance.
They are clubs for aiming at the pin with a high trajectory and stopping the ball firmly on the green.
Therefore, for long to mid irons,
There is an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models that feature thicker soles and hollow structures.
2. If building with PRGR? Recommended Combos
PRGR's 01-02 series, in fact, has a lineup that makes building combo settings very easy.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (high trajectory for easy distance)
・7 iron-PW: 01 IRON (emphasis on control and feel)
Points
Since the flow combines the 02 6-iron (28° loft) with the 01 7-iron (32° loft),
the loft progression is natural, and with little difference in feel, a seamless combo setting is possible.
