THP has a previous thread on the separation of Powerbilt and Air Force One from eachother and while it may not light up the radar in the eyes of the masses, it really was a rather significant deal given how long Powerbilt has been in golf. No matter that however, THP has just received in for review the new Air Force One brand irons, the AFX Pro's. These irons are much much different than a lot of what we are seeing on the market now as despite the use of Air Force One's "Nitrogen Charged" technology within the 3i and 4i, the set overall beyond that is a very straight forward undercut CB design with progressive offset throughout. Additionally, you will find no massive flash here as they feature a simple badging and branding paired with a clean brushed satin finish. Minimalist might be a good way to put it, but it was for a reason as AFO's goal with these is a smaller profiled iron that is affordable, mission accomplished as the price on these, 3-PW with Apollo Shadow Steel 105g shafts is only $399.00....that will catch some eyes.
