The DJ-4’s unique Universal Sole

■ Approach shots

The DJ-4’s universal sole, which is designed for ease of use in a variety of cases. The club head slides over the grass to contact the ball solidly. This keeps misses to a minimum and allows for highly stable approach shots no matter the lie.

■ Banker shots

The Universal Sole, with an appropriate sole width and bounce angle to the ground, resists digging into sand, instead sliding across to make solid contact with the ball and propel it out of the bunker.

Loft lineup to fill in the gaps left by strong loft irons

As more and more irons move towards having strong lofts, the loft pitch of short irons has increased, resulting in bigger gaps in distances between clubs making filling yardage gaps more difficult.
The DJ-4 Forged is a loft lineup that covers those long-flying irons’ weaknesses.

■ Optimum weight distribution

The DJ-4 Forged features optimum weight distribution that comes from the superb harmony of its half-cavity structures head and double-reverse tapered blade.
This keeps line deviations to a minimum even with off-center shots, adding stability to the short game.

■ Head Material

The club head material is S20C (Mild Steel), which is known for its ability to stick to the ball on the impact.

■ Design and finish

The original head shape and bold mirror finish look both beautiful and sporty.

Material: Nickel chrome molybdenum steel (SAE8655) / Weight: 96 g
