Model Features (ELASTIC STEEL HEAD)

The "ELASTIC STEEL HEAD" is characteristic of the Tsuruya Golf "GOLDEN PRIX" series, designed for ease of use, targeting beginners and average golfers.

ELASTIC STEEL HEAD: This name suggests that a special high-repulsion steel is used in the face area, which is intended to increase ball speed, resulting in greater distance and an easier launch.
Head Shape: The design features a wide sole that is resistant to mishits and a deep-center-of-gravity cavity back structure. This makes it easier to get the ball airborne and promote high-trajectory, straight shots.

GOLDEN PRIX STANDARD Shaft:

This is the stock carbon shaft. The "STANDARD" designation highly suggests a flex (stiffness) designed for the average male golfer, such as R (Regular) or "1FLEX."
Similar listings in the used market indicate specifications like a weight of 386g (for the #7 iron), balance C-8, and "1FLEX," demonstrating a very lightweight and easy-to-swing design.

Summary

This "GOLDEN PRIX ELASTIC STEEL HEAD" iron set is:

Target Audience: Beginner golfers, those with less power, or seniors and women who want to easily lift the ball and gain distance (average golfers).
Benefits: The lightweight shaft and forgiving head structure offer exceptional swing ease, high resistance to mishits, and the potential for high-launching, long-distance shots.
Usage: It is a highly practical set configuration, ideal as a first iron set for those starting golf.

Note: Precise specifications (loft angle, flex, etc.) would need to be checked from markings on the shaft or the original catalog. However, in the used market, it is often labeled as "1FLEX," indicating a high likelihood of a unified flex with limited stiffness options.
