2. Features and Design Philosophy

This model was produced during a period when "Oversize" and "Hi-Trac" technologies were popular in the golf market, characterized by a design that prioritizes forgiveness and distance for the average amateur golfer.

• Oversize Head (OVER-SIZE)

  • The largest feature is the relatively large head size, which creates a wider sweet spot and offers high forgiveness (easiness) on off-center hits.

  • It provides visual confidence for beginners and average golfers when addressing the ball.

• Cavity Back Structure

  • Utilizes a cavity-back design to distribute weight around the perimeter of the head, promoting a lower and deeper center of gravity. This characteristic makes the ball easier to launch, resulting in a high trajectory and increased distance.

• HI-TRAC Technology

  • As the name "Hi-Trac" suggests, the design (likely involving sole shape and weight distribution) was engineered to increase the ball’s launch angle, making it easier to "track" the ball up into the air.

• Stock Carbon Shaft (R Flex)

  • The Regular (R) flex stock carbon shaft is suited for golfers with a standard or slightly slower swing speed. It is lightweight, aiming to increase distance through shaft flex while reducing strain on the body.

3. Conclusion

The Daiwa HI-TRAC OVER-SIZE irons are a game-improvement set well-suited for amateur golfers—particularly seniors and women—who seek a club that is easy to swing and delivers a high launch angle.

Thanks to the R-flex carbon shaft, you can expect a comfortable swing feel and stable direction due to the head's high forgiveness.
