About the Proto-Concept C03 TC
The C03 TC ("Tour Cavity") is a players iron in PROTOCONCEPT's C-series, sitting between the muscle-back C01 and the pocket-cavity C05 - a soft-iron forging with a CNC-milled undercut back cavity on the #4 through #7 irons only, so the long irons get extra forgiveness while the short irons keep a higher, more compact centre of gravity for a controlled, flatter flight with more spin. It was announced 19 May 2023, not 2022 as sometimes listed - PROTOCONCEPT's own first-look coverage and MyGolfSpy's review both date the launch to spring 2023. Heads are sold component-style, 4-PW, and assembled to order in Japan or the USA. Lengths below are the manufacturer's recommended steel assembly lengths; PROTOCONCEPT publishes face progression rather than offset, so that key is omitted, consistent with the rest of the C-series in this dataset.
