Club: Ram FX77 Irons
Shaft: KBS Tour 90 Flex: Stiff Set-up: 4-Pw Finish: Stainless Steal
Technology:
The new FX77 irons expand the Ram Golf range and this muscle-backed iron has an elegant, clean design. The dual material construction of the head uses engineered 431 stainless steel which helps to improve forgiveness on off-centre strikes. It comes with a constructed 17-4 stainless steal hot face helping the ball come off the face faster.
The FX77 is a hollow head design allowing for a lower centre of gravity, giving the club more stability through impact.
Ram have gone for a quality KBS Tour 90 shaft, which is KBS’s lightest shaft of their line-up and is designed to give a higher trajectory ball flight and faster swing speeds.
Although still firm, the Tour 90 shaft has a softer tip and a higher centre of gravity, which helps players get the ball in the air and add distance and is perfect for those who have a lower smoother swing speed and tempo.
Conclusion:
I took the new Ram Golf FX77 irons on a testing trip to Mauritius and I have to say I was certainly impressed when I pulled them out of the box and so too were a lot of the South African journalists that were there, also covering the Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open.
I liked the way the club sat behind the ball and for a game improvement iron the top line wasn’t too chunky. I felt the head size was perfect and worked well with the wider sole design which certainly helps turf interaction.
The clincher for me was putting in a quality KBS Tour 90 shaft and with it being the lightest shaft in the KBS range this will help players to increase their swing speed and give them a higher launch, which is perfect especially for the shorter scoring irons.
I would say put these on your testing list, but at the moment you can only purchase them online and choose from a variety of options. They include regular, stiff and extra stiff shafts. The grip options are men’s standard or oversize and ladies/small. The shaft length adjustments are -1” to +1” in 1/4 increments. They also come in a black option and I love the look of those, but the big selling point has to be the price.
The Ram FX77 irons are certainly great value for money and especially for those new to the game. You can get yourself a quality set of irons at a decent price.
