Iron MC Series
Roddio Iron MC Series [Released March 27, 2024]
*The head cannot be purchased alone, so please select the shaft and grip.
Concept
MC stands for "Multi Combination." This naming implies that players can freely choose their favorite head for each iron to bring out the ideal shot they imagine with each step. This is a long-awaited new iron from RODDIO, which offers one or two different head structures that provide the same distance for long irons, middle irons, and short irons, and proposes the ideal set for each customer.
*First, we will release the pocket structure head, which will be the base model common to all clubs. The separate structure models for the long iron and short iron are scheduled to be released in spring 2025.
Shape
Feature )
1. Allow for mistakes
The sole design combines a wide width with good release, resulting in a user-friendly iron head that is forgiving of duffing and topping mistakes.
2. Soft and agile
Not only does it have the soft feel that is characteristic of one-piece forged soft iron, but it also has a thin face design (2.3mm thick) that is comparable to high-strength steel, made possible by the effortless carburizing process, which is expected to provide a flight distance that is one club longer than that of typical one-piece forged soft irons.
Stable flight distance
The undercut pocket structure and thin face allow the free weight to be distributed to the reverse tapered blade at the top and the wide sole at the bottom, resulting in the largest vertical moment of inertia value in the history of RODDIO iron heads. This minimizes variation in flight distance due to mishits.
4. Ensuring proper flight distance
In order to optimize the distance for each club, the reverse taper and pocket size are precisely designed.
The design is such that the groove is larger to allow for smooth, reliable high trajectory hits. The groove is smaller to reduce variation in distance caused by mishits.
●The reverse taper flow has been designed to give the long irons a lower center of gravity, while the short irons have a greater moment of upward and downward adaptation.
●The pocket size flow has been designed to provide a wider sweet spot in the long irons, while the short irons are designed to provide a consistent amount of face flex.
Performance
1. Low center of gravity
Not only does it have a standard sole width, but the bottom frame shape also expands in the toe and heel directions, resulting in a sweet spot height of 20.3mm (7-iron head), which is quite low for an iron head in this category. The pocket structure is designed with an optimal size for either side, effectively expanding the sweet area. This head is also highly forgiving on left and right mishits.
2. Vertical moment of inertia performance
Because MC irons place importance on operability, the left-right moment of inertia value is lower than that of our PC irons, but the effective moment of inertia value, which is effective in considering the variation in flight distance, which is the most important thing, is higher than that of PC irons. This is the RODDIO way of manufacturing.
3. Distance performance by club
The development theme for the MC irons was to create an iron that would provide equal distance performance and high repeatability. Of course, there will be individual differences in distance depending on the physical strength and technique of each golfer, but this is a local iron head from RODDIO that was created over several years, with prototypes made and tested on the actual course over and over again, for golfers who are not primarily looking for the maximum distance, but rather want to be able to accurately hit the distance set for each club.
