How the 3.0 adds up

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

The parts of the forgiveness score
PartPointsWhy
Head 3 The utility iron Titleist itself calls the forgiving, hybrid-like one: a hollow head scored as a game improvement iron is.
Forgiveness score3.0of 5

A hybrid of the same loft forgives more than any utility iron. Loft, flex and hand decide which version fits you, not how forgiving it is.
