The Sooolong is Integra's swing-for-the-fences distance iron, and the name isn't subtle about what it's after. Integra is a component brand sold through Hireko Golf, which means you or a clubfitter build these up head by head instead of pulling a boxed set off a rack. That keeps the price well below what the big names charge. The 2020 Sooolong lands in the super game improvement bracket, built for higher handicappers who want more height and more carry without fighting the club to get it.
The number that jumps out is the 28 degree 7-iron. That's strong. A traditional 7-iron sits around 34 degrees, and even most distance irons stop near 30 or 31. Integra went further than that. The hollow body and wide sole are what keep the ball climbing at a loft that low. Weight sits deep and toward the sole, so shots launch high even though the loft reads like a 6-iron from a decade ago.
What you get is longer iron shots, plain and simple. What you give up is precision and any real ability to shape the ball. This isn't a club for working shots or spinning approaches into firm greens. It goes high, it goes far, and it forgives a lot on off-center hits. If that trade sounds good, the Sooolong delivers it. If you want feel and workability, this isn't your iron.
In short
The Integra Golf Sooolong (2020) is a maximum-forgiveness iron for slower swings and higher handicaps. The set runs 5-iron to PW with a 28° 7-iron. It carries a $349 MSRP.

The hollow body is the heart of the design. Instead of a solid cast head, the Sooolong runs a thin face over a hollow cavity, which lets the face flex more at impact for ball speed and frees up weight to move to the perimeter and sole. The wide sole does two jobs at once. It drops the center of gravity low and back for high launch, and it helps the head glide through turf and rough instead of digging in on a fat strike. Cast stainless keeps the cost down and the head durable. You won't get the soft response of a forged iron, but that was never the goal here. Strong lofts carry through the whole set, from 20 degrees at the 5-iron to 41 at the pitching wedge, with mostly 4 degree gaps between clubs. Pay attention to that pitching wedge at 41, because a standard 54 or 56 degree sand wedge leaves a big hole below it that you'll need to fill.
The Integra Golf Sooolong's 7-iron is lofted at 28° - moderately strong - slightly stronger than traditional lofts. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 157-167 yards. The 5-iron (20°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 41° is relatively strong - consider a gap wedge of 46-48° to bridge the distance to your sand wedge.
Integra built the Sooolong for distance, so the lofts run stronger than traditional irons across the whole set. A 28 degree 7-iron is closer to an old 6-iron, or even stronger. The hollow body and low center of gravity are there to keep the ball launching high in spite of that. You'll carry it farther than a standard 7-iron, just don't compare your yardages to someone playing weaker lofts.
Probably, yes. The pitching wedge is 41 degrees and a typical sand wedge is 54 to 56, which leaves close to a 15 degree gap. A gap wedge around 46 to 48 degrees keeps your yardages even into the greens instead of forcing a hard swing or a soft one to cover the difference.
It's a cast stainless head, so it feels firmer and a bit clickier than a forged iron. The hollow construction adds a slightly springy sensation off the face. If you're used to soft forged feedback, you'll notice the change. For the golfer this iron is built for, feel matters less than getting the ball up and moving.
Integra is a house component brand from Hireko Golf. These are legitimate clubheads you build into a set, not counterfeits of a name brand. Because you skip the retail markup and the marketing spend, the price comes in far lower than a comparable set from a major manufacturer.
Yes, and that's really the appeal of a component iron. You pick the shaft, length, lie, and grip when the set gets built, either through a clubfitter or by ordering the parts yourself. That flexibility beats a stock set off the rack, as long as you know your specs or work with someone who does.
