Customer Reviews: Great feeling ironsJune 25, 2009 W. Scutt(Kirkland, WA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Before I got these irons my best round of golf (without Mulligans) was 110 strokes. At 6'3" it was nice to get irons that were long enough for me so I'm sure that has helped a lot too.
I am enjoying these irons a lot, they feel very solid and when you contact the ball it does not sound hollow or cheap, it actually feels like you are crushing the ball when you hit on the sweet spot.
I was a little worried about how the hybrid design would interact with grass (when you shoot over 100 you spend a lot of time in the rough) but was very happy to find that these clubs cut through the grass just fine and don't seem to have any issues that a regularly shaped iron doesn't have.
After getting used to having a longer than standard club length I've managed to start controlling the ball with these clubs a lot more. I can hit the 3 iron over 200 yards so while they put the ball up high in the air they seem to have plenty of distance. Yesterday I shot my lowest round yet, 90, and while the irons can't take all of the credit for cutting 20 strokes I know they've helped.
