I purchased a set of these clubs from a friend who found that he liked a different set more. I feel it is important to point out that I am not a golf professional and know little about the design and constructon of golf clubs.
I have been using these clubs for about 4 months now and I must say that I do find them rather good. While I cannot say that they have made all of my shots straight and long, they have made my game slightly better. Before using these clubs I used a very average set of clubs, so the difference is large. The irons are relatively lightweight and feature a larger "sweet spot" - the area on the club face where the ball will travel a long way. As such the back swing feels more controlled, leading to a more positive and less rushed downswing. This combined with a large sweet spot - allowing some flexibility in exactly where on the club face the ball makes contact mean that shots are, in theory, longer and straighter.
I think a very god golfer may notice more subtle differences, I can only say that my shots are a little longer and more controlled with most of the irons - though the pitching and sand wedges seem particularly good.
There are two downsides to these clubs;
1) When purchased new they seem relatively expensive - a price worth paying if you are a superb golfer perhaps, but for someone who simply dabbles then the money could be better spent elsewhere. However, I have noticed a number of sets of these clubs that are significantly cheaper when second hand - golf clubs are extremely volatile in this way, they seem to drift out of fashion very quickly.
2) I find that having these clubs removes an excuse for playing badly - while this is a good thing for the clubs, if you are just starting out it might give you the 'Dime Store Cowboy' look which I found increased the pressure on me. As I say, not the fault of the clubs but something worth considering.
Overall - I would recommend these clubs if you can get a good, genuine, second hand set. I would not recommend purchasing them new though, unless your golf game is good enough that you will notice a difference.
NB> Most course based golf shops will let you sample the clubs for a round, which may be worth doing to get a feel for different sets.
NB2> Many second hand sets online can be copies or fakes - I advise caution. I paid around £150 for a full second hand set, though this was "mates rates" a few months ago and should not be used as a guide price.
Advantages: Very Very forgiving/ideal for an improving player Disadvantages: None to speak of,maybe the lack of a 3 iron
Why I Bought them
I picked these clubs up recently at a pro shop, they had just been traded in and in excellent condition. I have just returned to the game after a 10 year absence and decided that a quality club would get me back on track. I play at around the 95 to 100 mark so I really am a less than average golfer so i can only comment on what feels good to me as a novice.
First Go with them
I took them along to my lesson and the instructor ... ...miles" was the quote. He was spot on I couldn't believe the improvement, I have always struggled to hit long irons...... not anymore. The grips were lovely and the markings on them really helped me to get you set up . The first few strikes of the ball were a bit nervy then I found myself swinging easy and really catching the ball sweet. I went from around the 130/35 yard mark with the 7 iron to well over the 150 and maybe pushing 160 in a half hour ...
