About the Proto-Concept C05
The C05 was the tour pocket cavity in PROTOCONCEPT's original C-series, released in 2020 as part of the first iron range from the brand the Endo forging house and the Golf Partner retail group established in 2019. A forged SAE8655 chromium-molybdenum face varying between 2.4 and 2.7 mm in thickness is welded to an S25C carbon steel body over a milled pocket cavity, trading blade purity for ball speed while sharing the C01's loft ladder - a 32-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge - so the two blend into combo sets. Heads are sold component-style, 5-PW, assembled to order in Japan or the USA; Patty Tavatanakit and Lydia Ko helped put the brand on the international map. Lengths below are the manufacturer's recommended steel assembly lengths; PROTOCONCEPT publishes face progression rather than offset, so that key is omitted. The C05TP superseded it in 2024.

The body is forged S25C carbon steel and the face is a separately forged SAE8655 chromium-molybdenum plate, 2.4 to 2.7 mm thick, welded over a milled pocket cavity.
Can the C05 be combined with other Proto-Concept irons?

Finding a used set
The Proto-Concept C05 ran from 2020 to 2024 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
