This makes three new releases for KYOEI Golf in as many days!  All new irons from two new cavities to this stunning blade.  Each model is offered in two stunning finishes,  enhanced chrome satin, and black PVD.

KYOEI has developed these irons for more than 2 years,  originally starting off as a limited run of handmade prototypes then through testing with both customers and expert club equipment testers their designs and features evolved into what has just been released.

Let’s start with some of the most notable changes vs the prototypes.  First is the CNC milled grooves and faces which ensure maximum spin and consistent flatness across the face.  KYOEI’s designers have some background in dealing with the USGA & R&A which often scans the faces for groove conformity and during this process can find groove depth inconsistency as well as high or low spots on the face, By using computer-controlled milling this eliminates any of those potential issues.  Ideally, you want a perfectly flat face as well as grooves that are consistently deep, wide, and sharp.

On all three new models, the back face is also milled which benefits both aesthetics and performance.  With the specific center of gravity height/depth locations for each individual number iron, it is important to make sure the weight is placed in the right spot consistently throughout the full production of each model.  This creates consistency in performance and ultimately improves accuracy.

Introducing the all-new 2022 KYOEI KK CB!  This is KYOEI’s new flagship forged cavity back iron.  KYOEI has just announced a new Dual Weight II iron also offered in two finishes and in a couple of days, you are likely to see another new release from the brand.

2 years in the making,  you may have seen its first iteration known as the 2021 Handmade Limited iron which was produced using traditional heavier blank forgings and pressed grooves.  After tens of thousands of balls hit and many tester’s feedback the final retail release as seen here is much improved.

The new KK CB’s intended shape and center of gravity locations have been refined to specific heights and depths in each number club.  Various top-rated forged irons from the other top brands were evaluated to isolate what aspects of the design and performance worked and just as important what attributes did not.

The end result is what KYOEI plans to be in their product line up for more than a few seasons,  Yes folks it’s that good and as someone who has played every KYOEI iron including the Limited handmade’s that these were based on,  I must say the brand has released an outstanding new line across the board.

The new KK CB also features the brand’s newly evolved modern 5 cut sole design.  The sole grind is extremely versatile performing well for both diggers and sweepers. KYOEI has been testing the 5 cut soles for many years and their newest version interacts with the turf and even feels superior to the last version.

New for 2022 The KYOEI Dual Weight II Forged Iron – A Players Distance Iron from Japan.

2 years since the Dual Weight I iron KYOEI is following up with their latest design the Dual Weight II which KYOEI believes shows advancement in capability through super high-quality forgings, CNC milling, and 2 years of product design study since the model’s first iteration.   KYOEI’s original dual weight iron quickly became their best-selling model in 2020,  2 years later it has evolved to a much more refined and well-rounded option building upon what worked so well with its predecessor.

This is KYOEI’s most forgiving Iron with the brand’s thickest top line and widest sole of their new KK22 lineup which TSG will cover extensively the various models over the coming week.  Japan Forged of super soft S20C this single-piece construction iron is designed for excellent accuracy and feel. The PW is based on 44* so it’s strong yet not too jacked by today’s standards you can expect the lofts to give you a few extra yards.
