Thirteen years after the first MCI in 2012, the evolved "Fujikura New MCI" is Fujikura's flagship model, pursuing high spin and the ultimate swing feel. Utilizing Metal Composite Technology (MCT), which fuses metal and carbon, it achieves stability similar to steel while maintaining the lightness and smoothness characteristic of carbon. This delivers both distance and control without compromising club balance.
Furthermore, the proprietary "DHX structure" layers a second bias layer in addition to the conventional 45° bias layer, optimally controlling twisting during the swing. As a result, head speed is improved and spin rate is stabilized. This allows the ball to stop more easily, 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 proven the effects of improved head speed and increased backspin with data.
In addition to iron shafts, a 40-inch model is available for utilities. This is an ideal shaft not only for intermediate to advanced players who are particular about feel, direction, and distance, but also for beginners who want to try carbon. Please experience the evolved MCI.
<PRGR Iron Strongest Combo>
An "iron combo set" simply refers to a setup that combines different iron models within a single set.
In the past, it was common to have "the same model from 5-iron to pitching wedge," but in recent years, among tour pros, it has become mainstream to use a combination where:
"Long to mid-irons are forgiving, and short irons prioritize operability."
1. Why are "combo sets" so popular?
There are mainly two reasons:
These 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.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even with a pro's head speed, it is becoming more common for the ball to not launch high enough and to lack sufficient spin to stop on the green.
Role change from "distance" to "stopping"
For pros, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just about gaining distance.
They are clubs for attacking the pin with a high trajectory and stopping firmly on the green.
Therefore, there is an increasing trend to combine long to mid-irons with more forgiving models that feature thicker soles and hollow structures.
2. If building with PRGR? Recommended Combos
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a lineup that makes combo settings very easy to assemble.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 x 02
・4-6 Iron: 02 IRON (Launches high and flies easily)
・7 Iron - PW: 01 IRON (Prioritizes operability and feel)
Key Points
Since the 7-iron of the 01 (loft 32°) is combined with the 6-iron of the 02 (28°),
the loft progression is natural, and a combo setting with minimal difference in feel and no discomfort is possible.
