Texan Classics 'The Power' iron set

Advantages: Good looking, nice feel to the swing, rugged construction
Disadvantages: No more excuses! Expensive to buy when new

...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.

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.

The heads do offer a great deal of forgiveness on off centre shots (which I was thankful for) but reward greatly for the sweetly hitten shots as the ball flys high and straight. The cavity back on these irons also helps with distance... Read review

...named after his birthplace was launched called “Blue Ridge”, that were to remain in production for fifty years, right up to 1988. The next year (1939) golf was revolutionised by the manufacture of a set of woods called “Strata-Bloc”, using a never before heard of process of hydraulics to bond together several different layers of wood in a criss-cross pattern. These added far more power to the tee shot, and also gave the golfer more control over direction, as well as having a far longer life span than any woods previously marketed. ~ ~ The invention for which Wilson will always be famous was also introduced in the late 1930’s. The brain-wave of Gene Sarazen, it was called the sand wedge, and was a iron with a rounded back flange to allow it to glide easily through the sand in a bunker, thus making it a far... Read review
