Maxfli Revolution Irons

Summary:
These clubs look and feel great. The 3 and 4 irons are long and soft. If you miss the sweet spot you'll know it by the pain shooting down hands and into the elbows, but the ball will still get up and go. The sweet spot is smaller than I've seen with other clubs but the design, and weight distribution on the clubs are perfect making it a lot easier to hit that smaller sweet spot than other clubs i have hit. The clubs hit with high loft which I happen to like, pick your spot and hit it. They lay up perfectly. Besides the pain from bad hits and poor factory grips I absolutely love this club.
I highly recommend this club for anyone who is looking to upgrade without spending bundles of money. I got my set for just over 100 bucks with S/H. Stock up on these while you can still find them!

Summary:
The MAXFLI REVOLUTION is one of the best golf clubs i have used. I tried the 990's and X14 range from calloway and the revos just stood above the rest for me. The feel you would get off the club was amazing when you hit one centered it stayed hit and you had the control over the club. The sensacore shaft would give you great feel and forgiveness.
all and all one of the best sets of golf clubs I have owned.
well done to you MAXFLI

Maxfli Revolution Black Dot

Summary:
I just purchased a used set of Maxfli Revolution Black Dots in excellent condition from Golf Galaxy for $150 (no trade-ins) and I am very pleased. My former irons are Mizuno MP 29's which I have been playing for 4 years. I was starting to think that I wanted something with more forgiveness.

In many reviews I have noticed that the term "forgiveness" is very vague. In my opinion forgiveness comes into play when I make "C" quality contact which is missing it either on the heel or toe, or hitting it thin or fat shot on occasion (2-3 out of 10 shots). Of course EVERYONE encounters these four shot mishaps at some point in time, even Tiger.

Thus more forgiveness on my "C" quality swings should give a similar trajectory and distance to that of my "B" or "B+" quality contact. I really don't count on forgiveness to straighten out my shots.

In essence I wanted a club that I didn't have to work as hard to get consistent distance and trajectory from. Speaking of distance, I also wanted more of it from my irons. My MP 29's really needed solid B+ contact for me to carry 175 yards with my 5 iron but my swing speed said that I should be getting 10-15 yards more. When I made "A" or "A+" contact with my Mizuno's I would get that extra club length in distance. Again, I needed something that I didn't have to work so hard for.
So I started looking at the RAC MB's, Forged Callaway's, Wilson Fi5's, and Forged Nike CCI's but in the process came across the Maxfli Revolution's.

When I hit these I just couldn't believe how soft the Maxfli's felt!!! The only ones that felt nearly as soft were the RAC's. In my excitement and just to compare I went out to the car and grabbed my MP 29 5 iron, and the Maxfli's were noticeably softer!!

THE impressive thing about these is that they are easier to get my distance and more consistent in giving it. The forgiveness I was looking for I have found in these clubs. I look forward to playing this summer knowing that I will get more consistent results even with "C" quality contact which should lower my score! The Maxfli's ARE 2 clubs longer than my MP 29's with a higher trajectory in every club to boot!

There is some feedback on mis-hits but not as bad as some of the other clubs I tried. I will say that the MP 29's feel softer than the Maxfli's on thinned and toe mis-hits but not as soft as the Maxfli's on heel and fat mis-hits (and the Maxfli's only loose about 10 yards and have a little lower trajectory on fat shots, whereas fat shots with the MP's were a death knoll).

The Maxfli's also swing more consistently than my MP 29's or any of the other 4 clubs I tested (the RAC's were closest). This should increase anyones contact consistency I would think.

I have been so astonished at the buttery feel of the Maxfli's that I started some heavy scrutiny of the shafts to see if I could uncover anything. I think I have found something in that my set are S300's (same as my MP's) BUT they have the Sensacore cushioning in them. However, my understanding is that this plays more into mis-hits than it does into solid contact.

In any case I am so thoroughly enamored with these irons that I can only highly recommend them.

Customer Service:
Although I am primarily a Golf Smith consumer, Golf Galaxy did give me a 30 day in store credit guarantee in case I didn't like the clubs when I played with them.

These clubs DEFINITELY remind me of my MacGregor PCB Tours that I had in their consistency, trajectory and feel (although the MacGregor's didn't have the Sensacore shafts). I traded those clubs in for the MP 29's and I must admit that I now wonder why I ever did. The Maxfli's feel BETTER than the Callaway X Forged and Nike CCI Forged clubs and were far and away better in feel than the Wilson Fi 5's.

Summary:
I've waited for a couple of things to happen before writing the review.
1) Break 80 (and not just once)
2) Stick w/ the ironset when breaking 80 (as not to have any bias when writing the review)
3) Feel that my game is consistent

Now that I've done all 3, I feel my review will be fair.

Pros:
- Soft feel
This set, being cast and double plated nickel, is softer than many forged sets.
(Comparison sets: MacGregor M675, Callaway X-Tour, Wilson Staff Fi5)
- Very very consistent
Distance control, shot-shape control are absolutely predictable and reliable.
- Spin-rate
Being one of the rare sets which feature blade-like looks with cavity-back forgiveness, the Spin rate on flushed shots are very high. (It's 2sided coin - see below for cons)
This juiced up spin rate equates to very very soft landing and ability to spin back even 7iron.
- Aesthetic beauty
I've dabbled with many different sets of irons in the past. Never put into my bag, but played w/ other sets enough to know. I'm a golf-junkie, what do you expect?
Other than very few sets (ie: TM RAC Forged, TM RAC MB, Titleist 675 MB & CB, Mizuno MP37, 60) this Maxfli Rev set is absolutely beautiful.

Cons
- Spin rate
Too much spin! These irons are not longer than any what's out there. This characteristic is very much similar to Mizuno MP irons. Laser accurate, soft landing, but not the longest of irons.
- Weight
In comparison w/ other forged clubheads, these Rev's are heavy. This equates to heavier swingweight, which is preferred by very good players, but not the general golf community. Make sure to Counter-balance the swingweight to D2 or D3. It's very easy to stick some lighter shafts in and inflate the swingweight to D5!
- Forgiveness
These are players irons. Even though it's cavity back, don't expect the world of forgiveness. While these are "easier" than say Titleist 675MB, these are not for the hackers.

In summary, these babies have come a long w/ me over the past 3yrs, from the time I've started.
Now that I'm 8.1 handicap, I'm moving onto something more.
I'll never let go of these babies. Sentimental values and just something beautiful to look at.

Hope this review helped!
