Reid Lockhart Irons

REID LOCKHART Forged Combo Iron Set 3-PW - Melonite Finish

I sometimes find the number of different golf companies astounding: in addition to the big boys like TaylorMade, Ping and Callaway, there are a dozen mid level players and innumerable third tier productions. Golfsmith, for examplecarries thirty different brands of irons: Adams, Ben Hogan, Bridgestone, Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Element 21 Golf, F2, Golfsmith, Hippo Golf, Lynx, MacGregor, Magique Golf, Maruman, Mizuno, Nickent, Nike, Orlimar, Paragon, Ping, Precept, Purespin, Reid Lockhart, Snake Eyes, Srixon, TaylorMade, Titleist, Tommy Armour, Tour Edge, Wilson, XPC and Zevo.

Reid Lockhart is one I’d never heard of before, but I was attracted to because of the black finish (I love black finish irons).

The Lockhart irons are forged, designed as a progressive set. The 3 adn 4 irons are full cavity backs, the 5 - 7 mid irons are half cavities, and teh 8-PW are blades. The clubs have a b lack melonite finish with copper underplating (that’s a new one one me), a milled face and machine engraved modified U grooves. I can only assume that the copper is there to offer a softer feel; the melonite, perhaps, has a more harsh feel.
