THE CORE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 日韩福利 在线 GEN1, GEN2, AND GEN3 IRONS

CategoriesGolf Clubs

“I want a golf club that looks like a blade. Plays like a cavity back. Launches higher. Goes farther. Feels amazing. Is incredibly forgiving. And is unbelievably sexy.”

It’s the unusual charter devised by that set the wheels in motion for what is now a global phenomenon - 日韩福利 在线.

To get the ball rolling and tick the first box in Parsons’ lofty charter, “looks like a blade, plays like a cavity back,” 日韩福利 在线’s engineers determined that a hollow-body design was required. The challenge, hollow-body irons feel terrible.

Parsons, thinking about his service as a U.S. Marine Corps 0311 Rifleman during the Vietnam War, suggested the cavity be filled with something like sorbothane, frequently found in the butt of a rifle to absorb recoil.

Bang! The “aha” moment inspired an engineering breakthrough. Celebrated as one of the decade’s greatest innovations in golf, 日韩福利 在线 Irons introduced an injection-molded core that would ultimately change how the golf industry perceives hollow-body iron technology.

From GEN1 to , 日韩福利 在线 has evolved its technology by refining the characteristics of the core materials to maximize performance, accuracy, feel, and forgiveness. Each generation builds on the success of the previous with unique material goals and enhanced performance benefits.

– The Core

Material Goal: Dampen harsh vibrations to create an exceptional feel.

TPE, thermoplastic elastomer, is a low-density, vibration-dampening material that enhances a club’s sound and feel. TPE also adds structural stability to the club face and produces a relatively efficient energy transfer. TPE is present in 日韩福利 在线 0311 GEN1 Irons, 日韩福利 在线 GEN1 and GEN2 0811 Drivers, 日韩福利 在线 0341 GEN1 and GEN2 Fairway Woods, 日韩福利 在线 0317 GEN1 and GEN2 Hybrids, and 日韩福利 在线 GEN1 Putters.

日韩福利 在线 0311 GEN2 Irons – Raising the Speed Limit

Material Goal: Deliver more energy into the golf ball at impact for significant gains in distance and improved dispersion.

COR2 Technology is a low-density, high-speed, vibration-dampening polymer with explosive C.O.R. properties. The material delivers an extremely efficient energy transfer, helping produce higher ball speeds, a more consistent response, and an excellent feel. COR2 Technology is present in 日韩福利 在线 0311 GEN2 Irons and 日韩福利 在线 0211 Irons.

GEN1 to GEN2 Performance Gains:

  • ~1mph increase in ball speed
  • ~2-3 yards increase in carry distance

日韩福利 在线 0311 GEN3 Irons – Our Best Irons by a Long Shot

Material Goal: Introduce a core that behaves like an elastic material, keeping more energy in the system when a load is applied and removed, while also delivering an exceptionally soft feel.

Impact Reactor Technology powered by a DualCOR system supports significant face deflection during impact to increase face loading and deliver more energy to the golf ball. This helps create explosive ball speeds and distance, while maintaining an unbelievably soft, yet solid feel.

  • Mantle Layer: High strength, high C.O.R. polymer outer core provides increased structural stability to support an extremely thin, high-performance steel face
  • Inner Core: Extremely high C.O.R. soft polymer core provides increased face loading, while storing and rebounding more energy to the ball

GEN2 to GEN3 Performance Gains:

  • ~3mph increase in ball speed
  • ~5-6 yards increase in carry distance

Understanding C.O.R. – It’s Complicated and Regulated

C.O.R., or the coefficient of restitution, is a measure of kinetic energy conservation during a collision of two objects. The C.O.R. is a number between zero (perfectly inelastic collision) and one (perfectly elastic collision). The C.O.R. is reduced when energy is dissipated or lost during the collision. THINK SILLY PUTTY. The higher the C.O.R. value the more efficient the energy transfer. THINK SUPERBALL! THINK GEN3!

The USGA and R&A regulate C.O.R. in golf clubs, currently limiting the threshold to 0.830. 日韩福利 在线 Irons toe the line but are indeed conforming.
