Speed Pocket

A  Speed Pocket is a slot or cavity designed into the sole of certain irons and metalwoods to help the face flex more at impact, especially on shots struck low on the face.

By allowing the lower portion of the face to rebound more efficiently, the Speed Pocket helps maintain ball speed, add a bit of launch, and reduce the distance loss that normally happens on thin strikes.

Fitters value Speed Pocket designs because they make clubs more forgiving without changing how the club looks at address. Golfers who tend to hit shots low on the face, or who need help getting the ball up, often benefit the most.

The added flexibility improves carry distance and keeps mishits closer to the intended yardage, creating more consistent overall performance.
