Whether that matters is personal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Who should buy it\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Golfers with moderate or declining swing speed, players who want hand-built forged irons without a tour-marketing premium, and anyone who has struggled with the transition out of long irons and wants to try an ironwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Who should look elsewhere\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Golfers who upgrade every year and depend on trade-in value, and those who want the widest possible shaft selection available to test in a single fitting session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Judge it on your own numbers\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The only way to settle this properly is with data rather than opinion. FocusGolf runs on a Wear OS, Apple Watch or Garmin watch, detects each swing with nothing attached to the club, and follows swing speed, tempo, consistency and distance across sessions. Record a month with your current clubs before a fitting and a month after any change — a season of trend data answers the question far more honestly than how the clubs felt on the day you hit them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The summary\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Tour Edge is a specialist that happens to look like a generalist.
