Precept Forged CB Irons

Summary:
I traded in a set of Ping I3, red dots, 4-PW, for this set. I was lucky enough to find them in a Golf USA moving sale at 50% off. It was a hard decision to give up the Pings but it was a great decision!

I actually bought them without hitting the set, but they were such a good looking set and felt so good in my hands that I took the plunge. The fact that I only had to throw in $30 cash in the deal was a big incentive also.

These sticks are sweet, I have played them three times now and am more atuned to their distance and feel than I was playing the I3s for nearly 2 years! They give excellent distance and are also very forgiving for a forged set. Mores so than the cast I3s ever were! Theres no substitute for quality and you feel it and see it in the Precepts.

Finally, you just can't beat the feel and look of a forged club, just seeing them in my bag gives me more confidence than I ever felt with the Pings, or Wilsons, or whatever else I used to populate my bag with.

If your thinking about getting a set of these, do it, you won't be disappointed!

tour premium forged

Summary:
I just ordered a set of these about a week ago, and they should arrive any day now. I do not usually buy something without trying it first, but after reading the reviews, and hitting the Tour Premium CB's in a local golf shop(I had never hit Precepts before, and was really wowed by the CB's--equal to the Hogan products and easily better than the rest). That, plus the price was just too good to pass up--had me go ahead and take a chance on these. If I don't like them I'll just lick my financial wounds and go ahead and buy either the Tour Premium CB's or the Hogan Apex Edge Pro's--in my opinion the two best sets of clubs for the mid-handicapper that I've hit to date(and I've hit most all of them). Well, I'll write another review once I get a chance to hit my new clubs. Until then, thanks to all who have posted reviews on all the different clubs--a great source of info. I do note the tendency for people to overate clubs---and there clubs/reviews that I did'nt think were that true to my experience with those particular products. The bottom line is that one should always try out a club for themselves, and use the reviews to look for similiar experiences/product tendencies amongst the different reviewers. Also, don't do what I did and wait until you are forty years old to buy a set of forged irons. No cavity back club is going to compare to the sweet feel of a forged club. Forged clubs such as the Hogan Edge's and the Precept CB's are forgiving enough even for the highest handicapper. An old salt golf salesman told me that it takes two and a half times more labor to make a forged club--so of course the club makers want you to buy cast clubs--the profit margin is way higher! If you do buy forged,just be sure to buy a set of head covers, because they dinged up easier than cast (softer metal), and nothing is uglier than a set of dinged up foged clubs

Precept Tour Premium Forged

Summary:
Beautiful sticks that I purchased on a whim. I opted for the Rifle 6.0 upgrade and would recommend it. These are a perfect blend of blade and player cavity back. They aren't especially easy or forgiving but they are easier than blades. The great part is that when flushed they feel like blades. They have a high overall club weight and D3 swingweight which aids in tempo and keeping them on plane. At $395 these were a sweet deal.

Precept Tour Premium Forged Irons

Summary:
I have always liked how these irons setup. When I discovered that I could pick up a new set for $375 I could not resist. Very solid. They look and compare very nicely with my M-14 with S-400, Apex Blade with S-300. My Precepts have S-300.
