GolfWRX Spotted: Haywood 100% CNC milled blades
The world of direct-to-consumer has shifted dramatically over the past 18 months and one of the final frontiers was golf clubs, which has now been broken by a number of manufacturers, including Canadian start-up Haywood Golf.
What started as simply a wedge company has blossomed into a full custom wedge and iron company offering performance and value to golfers around the world.
They have just unveiled their newest design on their Instagram page: a 100 percent CNC milled iron, that according to founder Joshua Haywood has been over a year in the making.
From Instagram:
Introducing a new prototype Haywood Iron.
100% CNC Milled from a Forged Block of 1020 Carbon Steel. This iron represent a year of hard work, testing countless revisions all to ensure it is the best performing club possible while making it extremely unique in both the construction and look. These irons will be the first in our ‘Haywood Custom’ program via custom order only, starting at $195USD per club. More details will be released in the coming weeks. They will be available in both RH and LH
This is a big leap in design and research and development, and we look forward to sharing more about them when information becomes available.

Callaway recently released the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max Driver, and BK is ready to see where it stacks up in this week’s Three Swing Challenge!
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”

Probably not a per club option. Have contacted them 2 over the past year to order some Haywood, but since I only play a half set would need to order individual clubs. Their answer was always NO. Kinda funny that their company was founded on a story that says Haywood was unimpressed with the lack of options from OEMs, at least with them I can get the set I want.

I own a set of signature irons, their wedges and recently the new putter they released. Have had nothing but positive experiences with them. They are a new business compared to OEM’s so how would you expect them to offer the same amount of options? When I have read articles and listened to a couple podcasts, they mentioned being unimpressed with the lack of affordable clubs from OEM’s. Do you expect small DTC brands to offer 10+ different grinds like Vokey does as well?

I wish more companies went thw route of minimal branding like this. They look SOOOOO good

$600 for a left 5-PW. CNC is easy to make left unlike forged. Seems legit, they look really good. Not sure I can play full blades, but it’s nice to see options.

Like the look! $200/iron is not unreasonable when you look at putters also milled from a forged block of steel that sell for $400! As a senior with a 12 handicap using irons with a forged face, they might not be as forgiving an iron as what I need. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to try them at a demo days in 2021.

I’ve hit the “vintage” Haywood blade (looks like a Haig Ultra to me). Really nice irons. I hope they implement a trial program where you can “rent” a couple for a limited time.

These are amazing! $195USD per club may seem steep but I just checked out the new Callaway Apex MB Irons and they are close to the same price for the same old forged iron Callaway has been putting out for years. Will be looking into these more to buy next year!

You can go down to your local shop to see and hit the Apex in person before deciding to purchase…that’s a big difference when you’re spending $195 per iron.

I love those. If they make a CB version I’ll be very interested. However, 1400 bucks for a 7 club set from a DTC brand you can’t readily go get fitted for is tough.

Those look great. Why better than the previous blade.

If they come in raw it will be a tough choice between these and a set of sub 70.

Dec 11, 2020 at 8:25 am
Well sai Milo. They are cnc milled solid block of carbon and carbon rusts. Unless they have a finish that doesn’t wear these should patina up nicely. Carbon is what all forged irons are pressed from and what makes the “butter feel”. But carbon as we know rusts fast.
But there has been some very durable finishes built and could be that silver finish.
Either way I am interested and love the idea.

Yeah these irons seem to have a chrome-plated finish, but Haywood is known for offering multiple finishes including raw/unplated. I wouldn’t be shocked if they offered these new blades in raw as well.
