Texan Classics Power Cavity Set

Advantages: Excellent performance, very comfortable
Disadvantages: You're slightly paying for that quality

......they're called 'the players' Kenneth, you big eejit. Having managed over my 36 years to construct a body so biased towards the right side as to make J Edgar Hoover proud, the gradual emergence of a large hole in my football boots strategically placed directly over my starboard big toe was something that needed addressing. Some might suggest that some warm milky tea and retirement were the appropriate course of action, but as fully paid-up member of the Rage Against The Dying Of The Light Brigade, I opted for the 'replacement' option. And so it came to pass that my not-that-dainty-Size-Tens were easing their way into a pair of Adidas Team Mundial Astro Turf G. Classics. The selection had not been arbitrary. Online searches of football forums had revealed the odd supporter capable of coherent written English, and once they... Read review

Advantages: Perfect for mid-to-high handicappers
Disadvantages: Looks

...I have played golf on and off for the last 15 years and in this time have never come across or played with any irons that have been well-suited to my game. This was until I purchased a set of Mizuno MX-17 (steel) irons in April 2005 for £349, replacing my ageing Progen's that had never really done me justice.

Advantages: Cheap,easy to use and well made
Disadvantages: Not suited to all golfers. Not for the experts!

This is to weight it correctly for playing your shots cleaner. For those that don?t know, the clubs can vary in angle and length to achieve different results and distances . The longest club and least angled face club is a 2 Iron and the shortest and most angled (lofted) club is a Sand Wedge. The clubs in between vary across a scale between the 2. This means a set of irons can go from 2 ? 9, then a Pitching Wedge and lastly a Sand Wedge. A 2 Iron hits it furthest and lowest. Built for distance. A Sand Wedge is built for getting you out of a bunker. It is made for height but very little distance. The weighting of the irons varies too. To get the most out of it... Read review
