Every golfer deserves a properly built set of irons. One that not only fits their game with the right level of forgiveness to deliver consistency, but that is also custom-built to the right specs. From shaft flex to length, and grip size—these small details add up.

This is where New Level comes in. Since their founding in late 2017, New Level Golf's focus has been on delivering quality, customizable, one-piece forged irons at great prices, with all assembly taking place in their Scottsdale, Arizona, build shop.

In this Bench Tested episode, we're taking a look at New Level's 702-Series of irons and how, with different models to choose from, it's possible to find the best model or model combination to fit your game.

New Level 702 Iron Family

The 702 line from New Level has been designed to offer seamless blending between three sets for maximum performance. All three models provide a modern shape with tungsten positioned in the toe to boost MOI and increase stability on off-center strikes.

And, don't worry, each 702 iron model is offered from 4-PW, so if you'd rather not combo, you can do that too.

702-MB

This sleek and compact blade offers everything you want in muscle back iron with a sole that works well through the turf, thanks to it's blunted leading edge.

This player's cavity blends compact looks (similar to the blade) with added forgiveness thanks to a shallow undercut that positions more mass around the perimeter and top of the club head for stability.

702+ (Plus)

The 702+ occupies a unique space because it looks similar to the slightly smaller 702-CB but comes with more offset and a longer blade length to increase forgiveness. What also sets it apart from other irons in this category from other OEMs is that the loft still match up directly with those of the other irons so you don’t have to mess with bending to properly blend irons for playability.

And speaking of timing, Steven Alker won once again with New Level 702CB irons this past week on the PGA Tour Champions. Alker added New Level into his bag in 2019 and has won eleven times on the Champions Tour in the last six years.
