PROTOCONCEPT GOLF CO5TP IRONS RECEIVE THE SOUGHT-AFTER 2024 GOLF DIGEST "HOT LIST" SILVER AWARD

-The company is honored to tap the Golf Digest “Hot List” for its third consecutive year-

ORANGE COUNTY, CA. – FEBRUARY 22, 2024 – PROTOCONCEPT GOLF, a high-profile luxury Japanese golf club manufacturer, is proud to announce the esteemed panel of Golf Digest’s "Hot List" judges recognized the innovation and technologies that TOUR driven C05TP forged irons possess and awarded them "Best Players – Distance Irons of 2024."

"We are honored to be included on this highly regarded list. Our team considers the Golf Digest “Hot List” as the foremost guide to golf equipment," said Yasufumi Kawasaki, Founder of PROTOCONCEPT GOLF.

According to Golf Digest, "Players-Distance irons no longer waffle between blade or cavity back. They are so much more than that. Innovative thinking and smart design have led to shapes that say better player – narrow sole and thin-ish toplines with a look that flows. The technological golf, however, is to help better players retain or extend their yardages."

The TOUR driven C05TP forged irons were perfectly positioned within the Players-Distance category. They are engineered precisely for the TOUR professional or the better player to produce greater distances with maneuverability, forgiveness, and feeling. A power cavity behind the face combined with a chrome molybdenum steel face insert which varies in thickness, provides the ideal trajectory, and caught the attention of the judges.

"I can feel the power and stability in this club. Pleasantly surprised how the ball comes off the face. Shots get up quick and maintain a high ball flight."
Alejandra, 25, Handicap 5

"I like the clean topline and compact head. Muted sound off the face and feels soft and velvety at impact. Low-spin trajectory that keeps flying after reaching its apex."
Wei, 53, Handicap 13

"Looks unassuming but is a performer. It makes a pleasing snappy sound as it penetrates the turf and has a feel to match. Forgiveness is apparent on misses. Tight shot dispersion."
Ryan, 48, Handicap 10

"In addition to obtaining great testimonials, and the respected "Hot List" silver award, the CO5TP forged irons received a TOP-5 for the best looking – players irons and TOP-5 for the highest flying - players irons, for low handicaps," said Marcy Kamoda, CEO of PROTOCONCEPT GOLF.
