Summary: I noticed most of the reviews are from low to mid handicappers (hence the 'TP' label). Conversely, I am a 90+ weekend hacker who has been playing golf twice a month for about a year now. My first set of irons were TM RAC LT2s that I bought off a friend - very decent clubs that I went thru my growing pains with, but got pretty used to after a while. I just picked up the r7 TPs from the same friend, after much worrying over whether or not I could hit 'players' irons. WOW, what a difference! Perhaps the LT2s were not exactly ideal beginner's irons, but I am not finding that the r7 TPs are any more difficult to hit. Not only are these clubs almost a full club longer for me, but they feel sooo much better. Mis-hits, while obviously noticeable, are not nearly as penalizing. Being fairly new to golf, I'm still getting used to the myriad of terms out there - after hitting these clubs, I think I now understand what people mean by 'buttery'. Again, my experience is somewhat limited, but I'm not sure that 'game improvement' irons are the way to go once you get over the initial 'I hate this game' beginner hump. With these clubs, I'm already starting to hone in on what I'm doing right vs. wrong and my scores are definitely starting to show it. Simply put, I LOVE THESE CLUBS!

Summary: Before i bought the r7 irons i was playing with Adams Golf Idea clubs, which at the time were easier for me to hit. After playing with them for two years i decided it was time to get a new set of irons, i was looking for a set of irons that were for more advanced players but yet playable.
While at work i started to hit a demo r7 tp 6 iron in the range, which i hit very well and consistant. So i decided to look online and compare prices and when i found the right price, i bought the r7 tp irons with the projext x 5.5 shafts.
The very first time i used them on the course that i work at, i shot a 79, with an eagle 2 on the 7th hole, my personal best.
I love these irons and i am glad that i bought them. I would recommend them to anyone that is about a 10 to 15 handicap.
Customer Service: Bought them off the internet and the customer service was great. I got them shipped to my house very fast, and great low price.

Summary: Very nice irons! Great feel and accuracy, after long search and testing found these to be the best for me. The first round was already a new personal record...

Summary: Very Nice looking iron and its also forgiving and workable. Its not as soft as Mizuno forged when struck well, however you can tell whether you have a good contact or not. Well worth the money spend. It improve my iron shot drastically. Now I am hitting late 80s to earlier 90s and I am sure I will improve more. Try this and you will not regret.
Customer Service: Not needed.

Summary: Have been looking for a solid set of irons for several years with feel and forgiveness. Have tried Ping I5's, Callaway X-tour and Callaway X-20 tours. These irons are hands down the best iron I have ever had. They take off from the face very high, much like a driver, and land softly. I got the Project X flighted shafts and the whole package is truly awesome. Misses with these clubs go much better than the Callaways. The look at address is much better as well. Great golf club, I would recommend them to anyone who can break 90!!
Customer Service: Great, received them in less than 1 week.
