Why we like it

The T24 line has a thinner topline, shorter, more compact blade lengths and heads that transition in shape depending on loft compared to the T23. A straight-line look on the lower, full-swing lofts (for easier transition from the short irons) moves to a rounded look on the higher lofts to emphasise shot-making finesse (open-face shots in particular). The T24 still maintains the classic teardrop shape better players prefer. Two new groove designs specific to higher and lower lofts provide more opportunity for the groove edges to interact with the ball for maximum spin.

• The upper portion’s tapered shape improves stability.
• The shoulders of the grooves are sharper for improved spin.
• The lower lofts have 17 grooves, and the higher lofts use 15.
• 17 options (46-60 degrees); 5 sole grinds; 3 finishes.
