Players, 1.0 of 5 for forgiveness

Callaway's forged muscle-back blade: body and face forged in one piece, the thinnest sole of its three Pro Series irons, 1.5 mm of offset and a 34° 7-iron. Callaway rates its forgiveness Low, below the Apex CB and Apex Pro, and builds it for the best ball-strikers; no set we score forgives less. Less help than Callaway's Apex Ai200 (2.0 of 5): choose the Apex Ai200 if a slice is your main miss.

How the 1.0 adds up

The forgiveness score is our reading of what Callaway publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.

The parts of the forgiveness score
Part	Points	Why
Head class	1	Players: a compact head built for control, the least forgiving class of iron we score.
Offset	+0	1.5 mm at the 7-iron, below our 4.5 mm mark.
Sole	+0	Callaway describes the sole ("thinnest") but not as wide.
Forgiveness score	1.0	of 5

The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.
