Here’s a video on the Wishon 560MC forged irons.
The 560MC model is marketed as a ‘Game Improvement’ iron, but it generally appears to look like a larger sized ‘player’s cavity back’ style of iron.
I think it’s a really great looking club when you address the ball with it. Probably about the size of Hogan’s old blade models, like the 1964 IPT model. So it’s not overly big or gaudy and looks quite nice at address.
Here’s the spec sheet that needs to be updated as they are using 1035 carbon steel and no longer make them with U-Grooves (now conforming USGA grooves)
As you can see, the lofts are a little stronger than the 555 model, but not by much. And the weight is slightly heavier, with the 3-iron starting at 240 grams instead of 239 grams (555 model).
I have hit this club, but only in an A-flex graphite shaft for a customer. It still felt really good. If this is considered ‘game improvement’, than the only irons I like the looks of as far as GI irons go are this and some of the Mizuno JPX models. Plus, I know that the 560MC’s are favored by low handicap players as the 555 models.
The only issue I have with the 560MC model is the back stamping looks gaudy to me.
