Over the past fifteen years we have had hundreds of requests from Professional, Collegiate, and High Level Amateur golfers for a set of our 1 Irons designed specifically for low handicap play. In answer to these requests I designed our new Pro-Line set of Irons which we are now proud to offer to our customers. The new Pro-Line Irons are identical to our 1 Irons but with a few features that Professional golfers desire:

All of us experience a loss in power and coordination as we get a little older which is frustrating to say the least. This is especially true for an avid golfer who has to endure losses in distance and the inability to hit those crisp iron shots that were part of their repertoire in prior years. In order to compensate, many golfers have had to start substituting hybrid woods for their beloved #3, #4, and #5 irons in order to regain distance and ball striking confidence. However, in doing so they have had to forego the control and accuracy that only an iron can produce. The problem is that although hybrid woods are extremely easy to hit due to their shorter than fairway wood club length and low center of gravity, they incorporate the single flaw of all wood type clubs - bulge and roll built into the club-face. For those not familiar with these terms, they relate to the curvature of the club-face from toe to heel and sole to topline. Bulge (the curvature from heel to toe) was introduced to wood club-face design by the A.J. Spalding Company in 1945 (patent #2,395,837) in order to reduce the probability of an offline shot caused by a toe or heel hit. Roll (the curvature from sole to topline) was introduced shortly thereafter in an effort to compensate for ballooned shots caused by a high face hit or a worm burner caused by a low face hit. Although widely accepted and incorporated in virtually every type of wood club-head since the mid-1940s, the fact is that bulge and roll make it impossible to attain any level of distance control or accuracy that you would normally associate with the flat face of an iron. With a fairway wood or hybrid you aim to the width and depth of a green whereas with an iron you aim at the pin. The people at GRIA Golf (Golf Research Institute of America) had been trying to address the problem of playability versus control/accuracy as it pertains to hybrid woods for a number of years. In late 2010 they contacted me to design a set of golf clubs that would fulfill their needs. I had spent a lot of time previous to this working on the same problem and had developed and tested numerous prototypes with extremely promising results (I knew it could be accomplished). The key for me was that the clubs must be designed as irons first and secondly incorporate the ease of playability of a wood hybrid. The result was a club-head that incorporated an iron club-face with an overly wide sole to produce the low center of gravity typical of a wood club-head design. As with the 1 Irons, I designed these clubs (NOVA Hybrid Irons) for single-length play: same length, weight, lie angle, bounce angle, sole width, etc. throughout the set, and completely swing-weight and MOI matched. These clubs are shafted with a specialized frequency balanced graphite shaft (100% graphite) that I designed to accommodate all swing speeds. The end product is a lightweight, custom fitted hybrid iron that promotes the sweeping style of swing to produce the ease of playability and added distance of a hybrid wood. The big distinction is that the NOVA Hybrid Irons are just that - irons; which means you not only enjoy the ease of play attributes of a hybrid wood but also the distance control and unparalleled accuracy of an iron. If you have lost distance over the years and have switched to conventional hybrid woods in order to compensate, then the NOVA Hybrid irons are your answer for distance and control/accuracy.
