Even though the copper irons were likely outside the scope of the test, did anyone test them anyway, just for kicks? If so, was there an appreciable difference in feel? They’re not made from copper. They are just finished with a brushed copper pvd. Identical construction and feel to the chrome irons MaxEntropy and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green irons over time would look strange Based off what I'm reading and what Tony with MGS posted, it is a PVD based copper colored finish, not actual copper. Still snazzy looking. I'd expected the color finish to be protected like any other club.

Great, ask the sales guy if variable lie angles are needed on the one lengths when all clubs are swung between 81-82 MPH? If he cannot answer that ask how much toe droop each one length shaft has when swung at these speeds. If he can't answer that then walk away.
