This isn't a THP review, rather its just me reading the @Canadan review and feedback on the New Level 1031 irons (here: https://www.thehackersparadise.com/new-level-golf-1031-irons-review/) as well as the @ddec review and feedback on the New Level M-Type Wedges (here: https://www.thehackersparadise.com/34461-2/) and becoming interested in their other options.
New Level has a cool story surrounding it and their founder is as passionate as they come about the performance of his products. He's one of those people who when you talk to or watch on social media, you can tell he TRULY believes in the product and it isn't just a story. For upstart companies, it can be a tough road, but New Level has generated a LOT of buzz quickly.
Playing the MP18's, I was drawn to the 902 Forged which is New Level's most compact model, and Eric assured me they were very similar in size/profile. So, I took the plunge.
This first post will serve as some info and a few pic's of the 902's, then I'll discuss them in subsequent posts.
Information from New Level:
Our new, 902 irons incorporate all of the modern features you'd expect to see in a game improvement iron, but with a compact size, reduced offset, and thin topline.
The muscle cavity and undercut sole provide unsurpassed stability on off center strikes.
An enhanced leading edge camber provides superior turf interaction and reduces digging.
Unlike traditional forged irons, which require significant hand finishing, our 902 is CNC Milled to it's final state which ensures superior club-to-club quality.
