Lofts compared

Beres 07
Beres Aizu

Lofts match on every club the two sets share, so the markers sit on top of each other.

What the differences mean

Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 27° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show.

Both are super game improvement irons, built for high handicaps, beginners and slower swing speeds. The most forgiving category — very wide soles, maximum perimeter weighting and the strongest lofts. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.

The Beres 07 is listed as forged mild-steel body with a maraging-steel cast L-cup face (5-9) and a maraging-steel rolled flat face (10-SW) and the Beres Aizu as cast/forged hybrid (forged mild-steel body, cast face). With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.

The Beres Aizu came out 3 years after the Beres 07, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.

Which should you choose?

The Beres 07 and Beres Aizu share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.
