These heads were put through Dan Bennett's toughest scrutiny!
When we get club components in from manufacturers and club companies, the first thing Dan does is weigh the five iron head. Did you know that a five iron head is supposed to weigh 252 to 258 grams? Does not matter which company made it - 252 to 258 for a five iron head.
If the five iron head weighs 252 to 258, Dan will weigh the other heads. If the five iron head that we received weighs less than 252 or more than 258 grams - in the trash the whole set goes.
In fact, if any one head of the entire set is outside the standard - in the trash the whole set goes.
If all the heads meet the standard, Dan will then locate the center of gravity (CG) on the heads. Without a low CG you will have trouble getting any height on the ball. You would be surprised how many 'top dollar' - 'name brand' irons are hard as the dickens to hit because their center of gravity is just too high.
Then Dan will carefully inspect each head. Is weight distribution correct for a golfer to get maximum benefit? In fact, he will painstakingly locate the precise center of gravity horizontally and vertically - this process alone takes close to two hours! Are the heads oversize and correctly perimeter weighted to help a golfer gain control? In short - are the heads forgiving on a mis-hit or they made for that rare golfer with the all-perfect swing 100% of the time! Will they really help a golfer!
That was two years ago
Since then the design manufacturing company of those heads - the DeTomaso Golf Company - asked us over and over if we thought there was any way to make the Diamondback Pulse irons even better
Dan told owner of DeTomaso Golf - Alex DeTomaso, a brilliant club designer - it is always helpful to move the center of gravity as low as possible and as far back from the face as possible.
Then Mr. DeTomaso sent us the newly redesigned heads. These are the next generation iron heads and were named the RISSA - means "aggressive" in Italian.
Dan was impressed with his initial testing. The weight on each and every head was right on the money. Center of gravity was very low - just where it should be. Weight engineering - perfect. Perimeter distribution - perfect. Balance - perfect. These computer designed heads were precisely the flawless club head a serious golfer needs!
Dan then inspected these heads feature by feature with his 30X Cinepar 13-25mm stereo microscope! They passed his scrutiny with flying colors. Frankly, I don't know of any professional club builder who inspects heads with a microscope, but Dan does; I told you he is a bit obsessed with club technology! That's the way Dan is.
I have never seen Dan so enthusiastic about any irons as he was about the new DeTomaso Rissa heads. At this point Dan was genuinely excited by these heads and built a set of irons with them.
He played them. I played them.
This is far and away the critical question --
Will these heads really help a golfer?
These new heads will greatly improve your game! To the extreme! There is no other iron on the planet that has a lower center of gravity and as far back from the face as these new heads!
The result is a phenomenally penetrating and higher launch angle. PLUS you get more distance than ever.
You can bet the house that Dan checked, measured and tested these new RISSA heads every possible way. They are genuinely better than the original.
Golfers love these stroke-saving irons! Just take a look at what they are saying.
These irons correct a bad shot! They have taken my game from 94 to 84 - that is 10 strokes off me game! Thanks!
R. Lonakre, Kentucky
These irons are so easy to hit - and my iron shots are much more accurate!
M. Hoskins, Iowa
These are the best feeling irons I have ever hit in my life! I am a 2 handicap and have played a lot of clubs that I've paid a lot more for. But none have came close to these.
J. Carr, Minnesota
I have been playing golf over fifty years. I have owned many sets of irons and these are the best I've ever used!
Dick H, California
You gave me the personal service I couldn't get anywhere else. Plus, with these irons, now I hit the ball higher and straighter than ever!
K. Syrzynecki, Illinois
I have played Titleist, Hogan, TaylorMade and more. These are far superior to any of them! I get consistent distance, solid feel and much better accuracy!
L. Martinek, Connecticut
All I can say is they work as advertised!
R. Hanna, Tennessee
They are so easy to hit. Just changing to these irons has helped my game so much! My friend tried them - he had just spent over $700.00 on his irons - he said he wished he had bought yours.
J. Montgomery, Oklahoma
There is no iron on planet earth that is as easy to hit as the DeTomaso Rissa. Period!
We are surrounded by clubs. We could offer any brand and sell any brand we want. We choose to play theses new DeTomaso Rissa irons. In fact, I have an extra set of the heads set aside - not for sale - just in case I lose the set I have and we can't get any more. You laugh - but we have quite a few guys and gals who have ordered extra clubs, just for insurance!
We wanted to get hold of a three hundred sets - minimum - of these Rissa heads. I called Alex DeTomaso. The heads are not ready yet in the quantity we want.
"Why not?" I asked. Alex told me they simply will not put them on the market without testing and approving each head. That takes time because they only have a few quality inspectors. We have to settle for sixty sets each month. That should do for a little while. Until the word gets out. Then they will be in short supply.
Callaway, PING. and now the new DeTomaso Rissa
Anybody who has been around clubs for any length of time knows Callaway makes a great iron. A few of their models are very forgiving. The same can be said for some PING models and Taylor Made irons - great clubs, easy to hit and very forgiving.
Now, you can add DeTomaso Rissa. irons to that very select list! But because the manufacturer is new and because we bought three hundred sets at one time, these are a whale of a lot less than Callaway or PING.
Superior Quality of Finish
Here is a bonus for you! These DeTomaso Rissa irons are - by a very wide margin - the best looking irons you will ever see. The finish work in the best I have ever seen. These DeTomaso Rissa heads have a finished quality superior to any high dollar, name brand head!
The first thing you will notice is the oversize sole with the Rissa - R - engraved in the sole. I'll tell you, on these investment cast heads this design looks terrific!
Superior Shaft
Great heads are no good without a great shaft. When we build clubs we never compromise. We use the Kinjura MASSU shafts! There is no better, more consistent shaft in the world than Kinjura. Please see the block insert that explains how and why we came to use this fantastic shaft.
So far - so good. Great head, great shaft.
You need a great grip.
There is no better grip than Golfpride's Whisper Grip! I bought over a thousand of them. That is what you get on these DeTomaso Rissa irons.
You get the very best of everything:
- Phenomenal DeTomaso Rissa heads. Brilliant design. Maximum forgiveness. Stunning good looks
- Fantastic Kinjura precision shaft in your choice of flex. Matched to suit your game perfectly!
- One of the golf industry's top rated graphite shafts - if you choose to go with graphite instead of steal
- Whisper grip in regular or oversize if you prefer.
