snake eyes 600c forged irons

Summary:
recently i decided to go the custom club route. i hit roughly every top of the line irons, and then came to snake eyes. the gentleman helping me at golfsmith said for my swing speed and overall play that the snake eyes are probably my best bet. he couldn't have been more acurate.
now having played the 600c's, i'm hitting the ball more consistanly, and truthfully with lots more confidence.
i outfitted the irons with formula one rifled steel shafts and golf pride grips.
i believe anybody who is somewhat of a descent golfer should give these clubs a go. it's been well worth it for me.

Customer Service:

600C

Summary:
As I'm not a scratch or single-digit player, I have a inconsitency hitting the ball at the dead center of my clubs. But I really love the feel those blade-like small forged heads give. I first tried 600B, which are muscle back, liked them. I also gave a try to 600C, which are half-muscle half-cavity back, I LOVE THEM!
The feel is not like any others. I just become to want hitting the balls with my irons all day long.
I got 10 more yards distance compared to my old big-bulky beginner's clubs. I also can work the balls more. Fade, punch, draw, etc. Not much though, as I'm not good enough to do that at will.

One thing I also want to emphasize is how good Royal Precision's Project-X shafts are. They are just unbelievable piece of technology. I can't praise enough. State of the art steel shaft, giving all the merits of graphite.

Summary:
Very nice clubs. I have played ping eye 2 for the last 15 years. I love the way these clubs look and I think they are at least a half club longer than my pings. I actually think the smaller sole makes it easier to hit the ball first (then the ground) than the big soled pings. I am very happy with my choice, and the process of making them is kind of fun.

Snake Eyes 600B/C

Summary:
I've been playing with Maxfli Revolution Black Dots for the past 3 years. The softer feel of these clubs compared to cast steel really got me thinking that I'd like some forged heads but was unsure about going to a full set of blades as I play off 14. However the new cavity back/blade combinations really appealed to me.

My local range has a good shop where they do custom fitting so I tried MacGregor V-Foils (great feel but too much offset for me), Ping i3's (yuk ! felt like hitting a garden spade) and the Snake Eyes which I loved. Great feel, accurate and 10-15 yards longer than my Revolutions.

I've also played Snake Eyes wedges for a while now so I knew they produce a great product.

Anyway they quote me £65 per iron custom fitted with R300 Dynamic Gold Shafts and Snake Eyes tour wrap grips (which are not great). For you guys reading this in the US that's $1,000 for nine irons !!! (and you kick up dust about gas being $2 a gallon).

To cut a long story short I found a guy called Jim McLain in SC who is GCA Eastern Region Clubmaker of the year and he built them for me with the Dynamic Gold shafts plus full cord Snake Eyes grips for $390.

I got 4/5/6 in cavity back and 7 - SW blades and they are great. First outing to the range I'm hitting 5 iron 185 instead of 170 and I creamed one 4 iron 210 yds and that was with range balls. You know when you hit off centre, but they are quite forgiving and get you focused on producing a reliable repetetive swing. Centred hits look like they are going to go forever and feel a knife going through butter.

These are beautiful looking clubs that perform and you can have made to your own spec. Why anyone buys a lot of the mass produced stuff on the market beats me.

Customer Service:
Snake Eyes are Golfsmith owned but I dealt direct with clubmaker Jim McLain in SC. Fantastic price, fantastic service and beautifully made. Custom ordered on Wednesday and received in the UK on the following Monday.
