AR-1 Irons
Scratch AR-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The AR-1 irons are designed to offer maximum playability and forgiveness in a cavity back with the looks of a traditional muscle back blade at address. The center of gravity is in the center of the face and further back towards the trailing edge. The cavity design is progressive and has a lower COG in the long irons to help get the ball in the air.
HEADS
Scratch AR-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today. The raw heads are then ground and finished completely by hand. The end result is the finest hand made forged traditional cavity back irons in golf, customized for your game. The headshape of the AR-1 irons was inspired by Scratch's work with Tour Pros from around the globe. Specific attention was paid to the transition from the middle irons to the short irons to assure perfect flow throughout the set from the 3 iron down to the PW.
GROOVES
The AR-1 irons feature our new 2010 "Condition of Competition" legal V grooves. These grooves are legal for play in any tournament in the world so you never have to worry about taking your favorite set of Scratch irons out of the bag because the groove rule has changed. These grooves are designed to have the maximum amount of groove surface while still adhering to the new USGA rules. This reduces flier lies and provides more consistent spin and performance.
FINISH
AR-1 irons feature Scratch’s Brushed Satin finish. This finish provides the durability of chrome with a duller surface to help eliminate glare. The minimal stampings of the AR-1 irons provide a very clean look unique to the Scratch Golf brand and allow for personal stampings to be added to customize the clubs for the player.
SHAFTS
Scratch AR-1 irons feature a True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shaft. Made 100% in the USA, the True Temper Dynamic Gold has been the standard in golf shaft performance and feel since the original introduction of the Dynamic line in 1942.
