Dynacraft Prophet Tour Forged Irons Review

Dynacraft Prophet Tour CNC Forged Irons

Grade: A
Teacher’s Comments: My testers loved these clubs

I think that it must be the aspiration of every serious golfer to play a set of forged irons. There is absolutely nothing as sweet as striking the sweet spot of a forged blade.Two things, however, typically stand in the way of this dream: forged irons typically are hard to hit and they’re expensive.

The Dynacraft Prophet Tour irons tackle both these objections. Dynacraft has managed to include some game improvement functions such as a cavity back and undercut stablity slot, while keeping the price to half that of similar clubs.

Realizing that I don’t have the game to fully appreciate these beauties, I passed the set on to two single-digit handicapper friends of mine. Their regular sets include Mizuno blades, so I was confident they could offer informed opinions. One tried them this past summer, the other, a retired gentleman, took them to his fall and winter golf escapes.

I’ve just gotten the set back from the second player, and the combined verdict is in: the Dynacraft Prophet Tours are at least as good as their regular Mizuno forgings. They’re just as long and just as accurate as anything they’ve played. The feel also is substantially the same.

That’s high praise for a set that comes in at around $450. Similar irons from Mizuno, Nike, Titleist and Callaway run at least $900.

In addition to offering a better price, Hireko/Dynacraft offer better technology. Unlike most standard forgings, the Dynacraft Prophets feature a shallow cavity and an undercut stability slot to add forgiveness. These are added to the club after forging through a CNC milling process. Dynacraft also has shortened the hosel to shift weight forward for a more centered sweet spot. This, they claim, solves the heel-bias of most forgings.

From a mid handicapper’s point of view, I found the clubs not nearly as difficult handle as I expected. I still get much better results from my game improvement sticks, but the Prophet Tour Forged clubs were not a handicap killer. With more practice, they might have found their way into my bag. But I frankly don’t have time for that practice.

Better players looking for a set of forgings owe it to their pocketbooks to try these Prophet Tour Forgings. Hireko has a 60 day playability guarantee, so you’ll have ample time to see if they fit your game.
