The Root of Slicing

Slicing happens when your ball curves in a left-to-right
motion across the sky (for RH'd golfers).  Your shot may
start out straight or may even start out going right.  Both
scenarios however show that your ball is actually spinning
in a clockwise direction.

There are two main causes for slicing.  Both of which can
be corrected by hitting an offset iron such as the
Response.  In the first scenario, your club head is open
(pointing to the right of the target) at the time of impact.  
Here you will see your shot actually going right of the
target from the start.  The second cause has to do with
the swing plane that points to the target and is parallel to
your stance.  When your swing starts outside of this plane
yet ends on the inside, slicing will often occur.

Hitting an Offset Can Mean Hitting Longer

How does the Response iron help correct a slice?  The
actual offset number of a club is the distance between the
parallel plane of the leading edge of the hosel to the
leading edge line of the sole.  The Response irons have
been designed with a progressive offset (ranging from
6.75mm to 4.25mm) for each club that helps to “reset”
your launch angle toward the aimed target and reduce
clockwise side spin.  By fighting your swings’ natural
tendency to either open the club face or swipe the ball
out-to-in (or both), the offset iron effectively straightens
your shot and get you closer to the target.

Super High MOI with Perimeter Weighting

High Moment of inertia (or MOI) means more
forgiveness.  The Response offset irons feature a wider
face area and effectively larger sweet spot.  This is
accomplished through a deep cavity with massive
perimeter weighting.

Softer Feel with More Power

304 Stainless Steel was chosen for the Response irons to
make them extra soft.  Feel is just as importance as
distance and accuracy.  The Response irons were created
for players who dislike the “harsh” feedback that can
occur with off-center shots.  Despite the supple feel of the
Response irons, there is no compromise when it comes to
power.  Designed with Alpha’s Max CT (Maximum Contact
Time) technology, the progressively placed center of
gravity location in each iron ensure more power is
transferred.  This helps to increase energy transfer to the
ball and will add yards to each shot.

Lie Bendable Up to 5°

304 Stainless Steel make the Response offset irons fully
customizable for height.  The lie of the irons are bendable
by up to 5°.  Customizing the lie is especially beneficial
for players that are shorter or taller than average and can
greatly increase the accuracy of your shot.
