^® 4.01 Transitional Mass Irons

The game of golf has changed dramatically over the past decade, and the demands on the performance of equipment have reached a new level. Technology has produced many innovations in golf equipment, and GCR has identified the need to harness that technology with form and function and produce sets of irons specifically for players of varying ability. Different levels of handicap players require different features in their irons, and for golfers in the handicap range of high single figures to high ‘teens, the new GCR 4.01 irons are what you have been waiting for!

The GCR 4.01 iron featuring Transitional Mass technology is a high performance cavity iron designed for players seeking the ultimate in feel, workability, shot control and overall performance while maintaining the profile of a classic blade. Transitional Mass technology in simple terms is progressively biased lineal weight movement throughout the set to create a lower centre of gravity in long irons to make it easier to get the ball airborne, transitioning through to a higher centre of gravity in the short irons to produce a lower, more controlled ball flight. Transitional Mass weight distribution is also employed in the face thickness of each iron throughout the set that concentrates more mass in the exact centre of gravity in each iron for unmatched feel, feedback and forgiveness.

Complementing the 4.01 irons are the 8.01 series of beautifully shaped hand forged specialty wedges that can be “opened” as much as required, but still present to the ball for maximum control. The 52^o “gap” wedge fills the loft void between the modern loft of the pitching wedge and the sand iron. The parallel trailing edge of the 56^o Sand Iron is evident to eliminate side spin and the graduated 14^o bounce allows effortless bunker recovery, while being equally at home when “nipping” the ball from the fairway. The longer than normal hosel has been employed for two reasons; to create a softer feel (the longer hosel absorbs more impact shock), and to move the centre of gravity higher, in order to reduce ball “skid”, and so that trajectory will be controlled in windy conditions and the ball will not “float around”. The tear drop design allows the player to lay the blade open and maintain the beautiful clean lines that blend into the neck of the club, or equally, to close the blade at set up via the radiused sole and hand ground trailing edge. This is an outstanding sand iron. A classical round design Lob Wedge, but with a wider flange, slightly cambered and with 10^o bounce completes the set.

The world class quality in GCR golf equipment is undeniable, and the result of Transitional Mass technology in the new GCR 4.01 Series is unparalleled ease of achieving straighter shots with optimum trajectory. And more enjoyment from the game.
