Dynacraft Prophet Tour Iron AWARDED A “GREAT BUY” BY GOLF TIPS 2010 EQUIPMENT
BUYERS GUIDE!
Now available in Right Hand and Left Hand
For the player heading toward single digits or perhaps already there, this model sports the true appearance of a blade. The distinction is just enough game improvement elements were augmented to give that player the edge to dominate the competition and continue to lower their score. The exclusive Stability Slot optimizes the CG location by pushing the weight further back from the face and redistributes the weight directly in the center of the face for that pure, unmistaken feel only a blade can provide. The Dynacraft Prophet Tour Blade is manufactured from an ultra-soft 304 stainless steel for an incredible feel at impact and finished with an exquisite black PVD coating.
A common perception among golfers is that a blade style iron is hard
to hit. After all, the efforts of the late Karsten Solheim of Ping
didn’t go unnoticed. He produced an iron with a deep cavity and
immediately the concept of perimeter weighting was born. This was so
successful that every manufacturer followed suit and to this day the
vast majority of clubs are a cavity back design which make the game a
little easier to for you and me to enjoy.
Today, blade style irons have a very small market share and are
generally reserved only the very best ball strikers. Also, less than
30% of the PGA players rely on blades for their livelihood. But ask a
player why they play blades, they will tell you that it allows them to
work the ball to create different shots. Plus, on a perfectly struck
shot, there is no better feeling in the world.
 So why would a
company like Hireko take the risk of bringing a blade to the golf
market? Well that is easy. The secret is that it is not truly a blade;
the Dynacraft Prophet Tour Blade just looks like a blade. After all,
most blades are compact from heel-to-toe, possess a thin 4-way radius
sole, thin top line and reduced offset. So if we are going by the
checklist, the Prophet Tour meets all those criteria.
But what separates a blade (or sometimes called a muscle-back design)
from a game improvement club? The answer is weight re-distribution.
Most people immediately think of game improvement clubs as models with a
deep cavity in the back. But there are also a few other features of a
game improvement club that golfers may not be aware of.
Most blade
style irons feature a long hosel which shifts the center of gravity high
and toward the heel of the club. We shortened the hosel on the Prophet
Tour Blade so you would be rewarded for hitting the ball where you are
supposed to; low and in the middle of the face.
We also created our Stability Slot, which removes material than can
be used better elsewhere. This concept is similar to how an undercut
cavity works.
When you look down on the club it is going to look like a blade, but
know in the  back of your
mind the penalty for a mis-hit is greatly reduced over a typical
blade. The Dynacraft Prophet Tour iron still allows you the ability to
maneuver the ball when needed and more importantly receive the immediate
feedback when you strike that perfect shot. For those that want the
best of both worlds, the Dynacraft Prophet Tour might just be the start
of a new category as a game improvement blade proving that not all
blades are hard to hit.
