Summary:
Having recently purchased these irons reviewing golf clubs is not something i normally do but these irons are so good i felt compelled to do so.Lets start by putting things into perspective ,these irons are for good ball strikers ONLY .They are not the most forgiving but better than alot of bladed sets i have tried.They have a lovely soft feel off the face and the distance control is excellent.I have the prescision rifle shafts(6)fitted which give a resonably high penetrating flight which can be adjusted relatively easily in the correct hands.Awesome golf club highly recommended.

Summary:
Just purchased these fitted with rifle 6.0 shafts. (They were brand new, but being cleared at half price). I am not going to lie like many reviewers of such clubs and tell you that they are easy to hit consistiently. They are NOT. The result they give you is directly proportional to the swing you put on it. A good smooth swing gives a very satisfying shot, a swipe at it will be punished accordingly. Feedback is very good, and around the greens and for knockdown shots they are excellent, with tremendous spin and control.

I was/am playing the RAC TP Forged irons and these are quite a step up. My initial feeling is that I might have over-stretched myself a little, but I am going to work hard with them and give them a go. I have only played one round with them so far and it was an eventful round to say the least, a mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly. There were enough good shots however to make me want to master them. I initially found the RAC TP Forged a step up from the RAC LT's, but worked at it and my ball striking improved significantly.

Summary:
I was very apprehensive attempting to play with blades because I have always heard they are for scratch players. I have an 8 handicap and occasionally shoot in the high 70s, never below a 77. I have played several brands, Titleist, Nike, Callaway, etc. but settled on TaylorMade a few years ago. I got these new irons 2 weeks ago and practiced at my range for several days before I went on the course today. Without too much grinding, I had 12 pars, 5 bogeys and 1 birdie. These irons are tremendous. They will give you immediate and correct feedback. I was tired of the game improvement look, feel and performance. I don't work the ball a whole lot. I just want it to have very little dispersion, which these do. If you are looking for a traditional looking iron that delivers superb feel and performance, you must try these.

Customer Service:
Excellent as usual

Summary:
Careful ! I purchased these irons over 2 weeks ago, and they take quite a while to get used to. The 8 iron down are easy and have a great blade feel, but getting used to the 5-7 is really tough. I must have hit over 300 balls at the range and still cant get the feel. I am a consistent mid 80's golfer and already play with progressive blades, so I assumed that the transition would be easy - but it isnt so far. Also, as has been mentioned by other reviewers, expect some loss of distance - my current 5 irons gets me 185 yds easily, but I think I will struggle to get 180 with these.
In hindsight, these are overpriced irons
