Summary: These clubs made me the great golfer I am today. My mis-hits go further and I'm always on the green in 3 with these clubs, if not in 2. I don't swing hard with these clubs and it's always in the air. It's an easy set to hit and I've broken par twice with these clubs at Quicksilver in Midway, Pa.

I played Ping Zing, Eye2, ISI, and Callaway Big Bertha Irons

Summary: Ask yourself this: Would you buy anything over something else just because it was harder to use? No? Then why do you choose golf irons that way? I am a senior golfer who has just about every iron model in the last 30 years. I mean everything. Recently I replaced my Callaway ERC Fusion irons for Great Big Bertha irons. The decade old BBs are longer, more accurate, more fun to hit and provide more feel and feedback than the Fusions. If 10 year old tungsten titanium irons could be replicated today they would be too expensive to manufacture, I believe. So, save your money. Take a progressive step backward.
Customer Service: Never required.

Summary: I have played with Ping Zing copper-head irons for 5 years and can break 80 on a good day. That said, my short game had be on as my consistency with the Pings was always a bit lacking, particularly with the long irons. I just switched to the Great Big Berthas and absolutely love them. They do not provide the feel of a well-struck shot that the Ping's do, but they are MUCH easier to hit. Shot after shot is straight, high, and long. I play about two rounds a week and these irons have increased my enjoyment of the game immensely. Highly recommended for all golfers with a 10+ handicap.

Shoots in the 70s

Summary: I have been playing these clubs (with memphis 10 shafts) since I purchased them new from Ed Watts in the late 90s. Prior to this I played the Ping Eye 2's. Easiest clubs to hit, and they go where you want it to go, how you want it to go - they just go. I have tried new clubs every year to see what's out there, but nothing comes close to this set.
I can't find a better set of irons - including the wedges. Easy to get out the the rough, sand, and easy to chip, pitch, and knock down with the wedges. I carry all 3 wedges from this set: Aw, Sw, and Lw. The size gives you confidence in your shot. And, if you ever had a problem with shanking or as some call it, hitting the hosel, this will help.
It helps to be a good player, but these clubs make it a lot easier to be a better player.
With everyone going to larger drivers, it's difficult to understand why people still hit standard size irons and wedges today. I see players shank shots every round - sometimes a few times, some times more. If they were playing larger irons, as everyone is with larger drivers, mis-hits would result in better shots and fewer shanks.
If you can get over the fact that they are 10 year old clubs, and that they look huge at address, you will find these clubs help to be a better player. Bigger is better when the bigger part is better. The technology packed into these clubs was and still is better. These were the biggest (and they still may be the biggest), and they still are what I consider to be the BEST.
I hope this helped you a little. Thanks for reading.

Summary: These clubs are the best ever made. I've been playing golf for a long time and wanted to buy "the best" in the late '90's. They cost about $2000 at the time. I see them going on ebay now for about a tenth of that price. That's a steal. They're awesome clubs.
