Snake Eyes Z9 Forged Iron Heads
I’m a big fan of GolfSmith’s Snake Eyes line. I’ve built five sets of Snake Eyes irons—each using a different head—and have found them to all to be well-designed, and well-made. They were all well within tolerances for weight and angles. More importantly, they all played well. Unlike a lot of component manufacturers, GolfSmith’s products are original designs, well executed.
The Snake Eyes Z9s are next on my build list. It’s a great concept: a thin faced, undercut, perimeter weighted “forged” iron.
GolfSmith does this by plasma welding a 1025 carbon steel billed forged face to a 431 stainless steel body. CNC milling on the back of the face is designed to help focus the optimal center of gravity location. The design, Golfsmith says, offers the feel of forged, with the benefits of improved distance and tighter dispersion.
I like the idea a lot.
