EVO V-31 cast

Summary:
I'm a 12 these clubs are tremendously unforgiving on my frequent mis-hits. They do feel great when I hit the infinitesimally small sweet spot, but miss a little bit and the ball goes no where, and feels awful. I'll trust the judgment of those who say these are great clubs...but for anyone over a 10 they are not a good choice. They were cheap, but I think I'm going back to my Ping Zing 2's.

Armour EVO

Summary:
About 6 years ago I realized my game was starting to go so I switched my blades for the EVO 31s. Best move I made. Great clubs; somewhat forgiving but very workable. Recently I have seen used sets of my clubs being sold a various golf retail shops. A word of caution--the original EVO 31s had TruTemper Tri-Gold shafts which are terrific. The ones being resold now have a different shaft which makes the club play completely different and not nearly as good. For the Evo 31s, the shaft is the key.

Armour Evo V-31 Irons

Summary:
This will be my 6th or 7th season playing golf and my first full season playing these irons. I played them last year but didn't get out nearly as much as I am used to and so I am still working with these irons.

What I can tell you is that they are very much a risk / reward type of club. If you are having a really good day and hitting the ball perfectly then these will be great irons for you. If you aren't connecting with the sweet spot on the irons on every single shot, however, your game will suffer. What I have noticed is that I lose a lot of distance with these irons. In no way can I hit these as far as my old irons (Callaway X-12s). Even when I hit the ball perfectly it does not go as far as it would off my old set. With that being said, don't be discouraged because I said that. Irons are not distance clubs but accuracy clubs and that is why you carry a whole set of them with you.

I think the bottom line is that if you want to become a better golfer and you are in the position to do so pick a set of these up. They feel like butter on your best day and really give you a lot of feedback as to how you are hitting the ball. A word of warning though is that these are not for seniors or women who do not take a full swing, nor are these for the recreational golfer who only gets out to play just a few rounds a year. If you are serious about getting better these can help you and will help you work the ball but if not, get something for yourself that will keep the ball straight and will make up for mis-hits without you losing a ton of distance.

Customer Service:

evo v-31

Summary:
After learning to play golf, i started shopping for a set of irons. I i knew i didn't want a strong cavity back but was in no shape to hit a blade. So i searched for a cheap game improving set and the evos looked nice. These clubs were great for me, a developing player. It took some time to learn how to hit them, but once i did it made me a better player. Now only 2 years later i feel i'm ready for a set of blades. Since these clubs were so cheap i had no problem just giving them away. They were cheap clubs that helped me develop my game over a short period of time. Overal they were great clubs to learn on before i got some baldes. However, if you want a game improving set for the rest of your life, i would advise to spend more money and take advatage of new technology.

EBAY!!!!!!!

845 V/31 Cast

Summary:
I finially broke down and bought a new set of Tommy's 845 V/31 Cast irons. I can't believe what a difference it made for me. I went from double or tripple bogeys to pars and sometimes bogies. I started to play golf 2 years ago and it's my best buy since then.
I can lay the ball down now 3-5 feet away from the flag from 160-180 yards. To me it's the great progress.
