PROTOCONCEPT GOLF ANNOUNCES ITS ALL NEW C05TP FORGED IRONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

-The new generation of the C05TP forged irons which feature a highly engineered power pocket to optimize the ball launch and flight trajectory are now available to purchase-

ORANGE COUNTY, CA. – JUNE 11, 2024 – PROTOCONCEPT GOLF, a high-profile luxury Japanese golf club manufacturer, is thrilled to announced that the TOUR driven, all-new, Golf Digest "Hot List" recipient, C05TP forged irons, have shipped into retail.

"It is tremendous to have the new C05TP forged irons in stock. They’ve been in high demand since the 'Golf Digest' list was published,” said Marcy Kamoda, CEO of PROTOCONCEPT GOLF. "We’re fulfilling orders to our key accounts like True Spec Golf who will have C05TP forged irons available in all 50 stores."

To pursue the perfect trajectory, PROTOCONCEPT GOLF sought out guidance and feedback directly from TOUR professionals to redesign the C05 forged irons. The new C05TP forged irons boast both forgiveness and accuracy known from their predecessor but encourage a better trajectory.

In addition to the TOUR professionals' feedback, the engineers utilized 3D CAD technology to redesign each iron in the C05TP forged iron set. Significant improvements were made to employ the maximum spin possible as well as unbeatable distance.

"3D CAD technology strategically positioned the center of gravity (CG) of each C05TP forged iron differently for a better launch and playability," added Kamoda.

The newly designed head construction provides enhanced feel. The SAE8655 chrome molybdenum steel face with high-level stiffness has been drastically redesigned. The newly designed C05TP face is engineered to produce bounce and improve feel, a challenge with its predecessor. No resin or other materials were used, so only the crisp feel of viscous metal can be felt at impact.

The trajectory of the entire C05TP forged iron set has been significantly improved. For the mid irons and higher irons, the launch angle has been boosted to promote more spin and improve the ability to stop the ball on the green. The shorter irons are engineered to deliver distance without flying the ball too high.

A GAP Wedge Iron is included in the C05TP forged iron set and is positioned below the pitching wedge (PW), with a loft of 50 degrees. To hit from a variety of lies, they are designed for the face to open easily, and a complex sole grind to generate increased spin.

The C05TP forged irons are offered 4-PW or GAP and can be purchased individually. These 2024 Golf Digest "Hot List" award-winning irons are now available and can be purchased at an exclusive PROTOCONCEPT GOLF dealer. PROTOCONCEPT Golf - Store Locator
