CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- Hireko Golf announced the launch of its new Acer XDS Cabriolet Irons. The new irons are designed with the look of an iron but with hybrid accuracy and forgiveness.

"For over 8 years, golfers' world-wide had enjoyed the virtues of the original Acer XDS Wide Sole series iron making them one of Hireko's best selling and performing irons in company history," states Hireko Technical Director Jeff Summitt. "The new Acer XDS Cabriolet takes that same wide-sole concept and combines it with the modern hybrid. Some hybrids on the market are merely hollow-bodied irons that move weight further back from the face to create greater forgiveness on off-center shots. The purpose of a wide sole iron is to shift a higher concentration of weight lower to assist in getting the ball up quickly and easily."

The Acer XDS Cabriolet accomplishes both forgiveness and shotmaking ease through its hybrid chassis design. The heavy crown was removed and weight was repositioned to the extra wide sole. This creates the best of both worlds; an iron look with hybrid accuracy. The gigantic face will instill confidence for those that need it the most making these the ultimate game improvement iron without the massive offset.

Each club in the set required a distinct sole radius to complement the progressive sole width (wider in the longer irons and gradually reducing in size in the scoring irons). This places weight where it is needed most to ensure an ultra-forgiving design that is not only functional, but puts more fun back into the game.

The Acer XDS Cabriolet Irons are available in RH 3-9, PW, AW, SW and LH in 3-9, PW, SW. They are available custom assembled online for $24.95 each at HirekoGolf.com.
