IRONS – Pivot Measurable Framework
Irons are precision tools.
They influence proximity and GIR more than raw distance.
Scoring Impact — 30%
• GIR delta vs baseline
• Proximity improvement (inside 20 ft window)
• Miss penalty severity
• Scoring average delta
Irons must tighten scoring windows.
Distance Control Consistency — 20%
• Front-to-back dispersion
• Spin window stability
• “Flyer” frequency
• Carry consistency round-to-round
Distance control > raw distance.
Dispersion & Forgiveness — 20%
• Lateral deviation pattern
• Toe/heel strike retention
• Miss shape predictability
Forgiveness must be playable, not theoretical.
Turf Interaction — 10%
• Entry consistency
• Exit efficiency
• Digging / bounce unpredictability
Real-course performance matters.
Durability — 10%
• Groove wear
• Finish wear
• Performance drop-off
Value Efficiency — 10%
• Performance relative to category price
