Summary: This club is without question, the best clubhead I have swung, and I have played a whole bunch of clubs in the past 20 years. I now have 2 sets of these sticks, one set with x-100's and one set with Rifle 6.5's. The heads offer a perfect blend of feel and forgiveness. Feed back is sufficient as you will immediately know how you missed it, but results are not penal. Flushed shots feel just as good as the MP14's or Titleist Tour Models that I used to play. They look great in the bag, and you can pick up a set for under $100 on ebay. I cannot believe Golfsmith quit making this head!
There is a reason why all 42 reviewers previous to me have given 10 stars out of 10.

Summary: I recently acquired a second set of these irons off ebay for next to nothing. I owned a set two years ago. I am admittedly an extreme club junkie. I have no idea why I ever went away from these irons. They are simply the best irons I have ever owned. The lofts are set up like clubs of old with the PW being 48.5 degrees. They feel great, are very workable, and are beautiful to look at. Why in the world did Golfsmith stop production of this club? The new TCF looks like crap compared to these. I am currently on an ebay watch to try to land at least two more sets so I have reserves when I wear my current set out. My Ping I5's, which I love, will be collecting dust in the closet periodically.

Summary: I bought the TCF irons to replace my set of TaylorMade Burner Midsize. I purchased the heads 3-SW and put them on Rifle Lite Shafts in 5.5 flex and Winn grips. These clubs are amazing. The forged carbon steel gives it soft feel, while the cavity back design adds to forgiveness. Pured hits feel like butter, while slightly off center hits hold straight and lose little distance. The TCF are not as forgiving on super off-center hits as the larger deeper-cavity design game improvement irons like Callaway, TaylorMade RAC,or Nike Slingshot, but for a golfer of moderate ball-striking ability, the tour cavity forged will give up little, if anything in terms of loss of distance or accuracy on miss-hits. The trajectory on the irons is moderate; its center of gravity is not overly high or low. The distance is a little shorter (3-5 yards) per club compared to the cast irons I have tried. Most importantly, my short-iron accuracy has improved tremendously. I've always struggled with hooks but the low-offset design of TCF irons make the my shots straighter. The forged designed also allowed the irons to be bent 2 degrees flat which suits my height and swing type better. The SW which comes in 54 degree loft was easily bent to 52 and now serves as my gap wedge. Best of all, I got something similar to the Hogan, Mizuno, and Yonex forged cavity designs at less than half the price.

Summary: Woe is me. I will never have to go through the long tough journey of club tryouts as my local clubmaker banged me up a 4-pw set with tt tx90s as my first set of clubs. It's like marrying your grade school sweetheart and then finding out she is rich. Now I watch ebay for the set that is going to replace these when I wear the chrome off. The golf god Tom Wishon did these for Golfsmith when he was there. Boggles the mind that they stopped making them.

Summary: Build the Set 2-PW with Dynamic Gold Lite R-300 and Lamkin Crossline Midsize grips. A wounderful and outstanding combination. Excellent feedback and playability. The best irons I played so far and I have no intent to switch.
