The Polarity MTR Irons are the latest member of Nicklaus Golf Equipment's Premium Collection. Designed by Clay Long, who designed many of Jack Nicklaus' club during Nicklaus PGA Tour years, the Nicklaus Polarity MTR Irons achieve what Long calls "extreme weight distribution" by extending the face and adding more weight to the hosel.

They also have a wide, cambered sole along with progressive offset and sole width (more on long irons, less on short irons). The result, Long says, is more balance and stability through the hit - higher MOI, so - as the MTR acronym in the name says - "maximum twist resistance."

The clubs come in 3-PW sets (MSRP $449.99 to $549.99 depending on shaft), plus gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge sold separately. Shaft options include FST Pro Silver Ultra Light Steel, Precision Rifle Black Graphite, plus, in ladies flex, Nicklaus SG Pro 3.01.

There is also a "Plus Set" available that includes 3 and 4 Nicklaus Claw Hybrids (more on those on following pages), plus Polarity MTR irons 5-PW. And a "Super Set" consisting of 3-5 Claw Hybrids with 6-PW Polarity MRT irons. See Nicklaus Golf for more info.
