Summary: ok, these are kick ass clubs.. I went out and shot two under and won a tournament...what can I say? they feel great off the face and stop on a dime. I am interested in trying a bridgestone driver next ... another happy hacker .........

Summary: Bought these Christmas time as they were being shifted out of shops with a good discount. To me, they're a great looking iron; the GC os were plain ugly. Was initially disappointed with the purchase, however, now I can't wipe the smile off my 'dial'. You do suffer a lot with contact out near the toe; if you can strike the ball with the sweetspot, you'll be rewarded with a soft-landing and a very pleasant sensation in your hands. Not the longest iron, but not all that far behind Cobra 2300s
Customer Service: None needed so far

Summary: I wanted to try a stiff graphite shaft, and jumped on the deal for under 200 to canada including shipping.I mean we all play graphite in the driver and woods, so why not irons? they have come a long way in making torque comparable to steel . Let's face it, graphite is the way to go.(proshopwarehouse via ebay.ca)
These clubs setup nice and feel great when you hit the sweet spot. Gives good feedback on a mis-hit, and hits 5 yards longer than my taylor made lt 2's (dg s400 shafts) the trajectory is a little higher obviously, as my dg's are a higher kickpoint and a lot heavier 130g per shaft compared to 85 g.sw is d2 on the gc mids and d3 on my tm's. I am very happy with the look, the feel and the spin of these clubs.. they play loke a players cavity especially with the thin top line and low offset. you can pick these up for a song, and you could probably sell for more if you don't like em.. I am going to get them re lofted to take the height down a bit .... 2 or 3 degrees if it can be done with these cast irons . If not, they just drop out of the sky at the target and I'm not ashamed to take an extra club if I know they will stop on a dime.

Summary: I rely heavily on the input of others when it comes to the purchase of clubs. I do not have the means to go to Golfsmith and try everyting they have to offer, only to settle on a retail price for clubs. My shopping comes from the bargain bin- a place where people write and tell me what works and what does not. What I can tell you about the Bridgestone GC is that it is a diamond in the rough. I bought mine for less than $200 and love them. I switched from forged irons to a more forgiving set, and I have added a bit of distance without penalty for the mis-hit. These irons come with the Nippon shaft, and the regular flex is stiffer than most. It is in between, for those who lose distance on stiff shafts but cannot control regular. Feel is there and the ability to shape a shot is not lost on the head design. It is possible. I recommend these irons for those who are mid cappers and want more consistency. They will not blind you with cool colors or intrinsic design. Rather, they will sit non-descript in the bag and light up the dude you are playing against. Perfect for those who want a combination of play and low profile looks.
Customer Service: Have not had the pleasure. Hope that I won't have too, either.

Summary: FYI - now available new at 3balls for $150 & change w/ free shipping. (I'm not a shill, BTW.) Haven't played them yet -- going on reviews -- but like the idea of a traditional thin top line, reasonably forgiving, not overly offset iron that should match my skill level for a while. If not, for the price they'll make good weed-whackers around the yard. Giving provisional Overall Rating of 4 stars -- let you know after I hit 'em.
