Fourteen TB-5 Forged Irons

Overview

TB-5 Forged Irons Design Story
The new shape “Theater Blade” has both feel and forgiveness, an achievement of functional beauty. Mr. Jun Ikeda, who is in charge of development, tells the story of TB-5 Forged and who it was created for.

Both feel and forgiveness from the Theater Blade design
The cavity step in the back face is removed which allows the face thickness to flow naturally in the curved shape of a theater creating an optimal center of gravity and a reduction in vibrations transmitted to the hands. The soft feel is further enhanced by the use of soft material S20C mild steel. This fulfills the need of golfers for an optimally balanced iron featuring both feel and forgiveness.

Larger size, Forged head
The mild steel forged iron TB-5 Forged features a larger head which inspires confidence at address as well as larger sweet spot which creates excellent distance and direction as and more forgiveness on off center strikes. The TB-5 Forged appeals to a wide variety of golfers with swing speeds between 38-43m/s (85- 96 mph) looking for a sporty and to use iron.

Universal Sole
The TB-5 Forged uses the Universal Sole grind borrowed from the popular DJ-4 wedge and adapted for iron play. The versatile grind helps prevent digging and is forgiving from a wide variety of lies. Better turf interaction equals better and more consistent impact leading to straighter shots and more distance.
