“The
Little One”

This has been the club that so many rave about,
and with good reason. The smaller clubhead helps
to improve accuracy and does so by only being
just large enough to hit the golf ball.
Known as, “The Little One” this
training aid iron is simple to use and helps
increase ball striking and distance. For all
practical reasons, it’s also a great club
to start with as a beginning golfer. Your aim
will be improved pretty quickly. But, no matter
what you level of play it can help you with
your shot. It’s been seen on PGA Tour
Practice ranges around the country and many
golfers report and increase in focus, concentration
and confidence when using this iron. MSRP $119.95
