Powerbilt Citation Irons

Powerbilt Citation Irons 

DESCRIPTION

Citation irons were designed with the elite player in mind. For those players who like to make the ball hunt. Fot those players who control the ball not the other way around. We know all about golfers like you because Powerbilts past professionals won over 100 PGA tour and worldwide events including 8 majors. We know how to make clubs for great golfers. The moment that you sole these irons you will realize you are looking at a very serious golf club. From the thin top line to the minimal offset to the compact head size to the True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts. Yet we had to be honest with ourselves, technology has vastly improved the playability of golf clubs, so simply designing a traditional looking club wasn''t enough. This is why we took the technology like steel softening heat treatments specific perimeter weighting and exact CAD center of gravity points on the club face which match the center of gravity on a golf ball. Then we married these technologies and the "look" into the club to give you all the playability of today''s cavity back clubs without taking away the workability that elite player''s demand.

Strength:

The soles are a bit wider than my old clubs but are moderate compared to some of the other GI clubs out there so now i don't have to come down as hard on the ball and break my wrists and a simple easy swing does the work for you , and I had a bit of trouble on the tees originally because of the offset and the ball drawing more than i anticipated full brake service

Weakness:

None . .

Strength:

They offer a good combination of forgiveness and workability. Not as easy to work as blades, but much easier to work than traditional cavity backs. Distance is about average, maybe a slight shade above average. They've held up well and when clean look almost brand new. I like playing Powerbilt because it's the anti-cool manufacturer - and I'm a nonconformist by nature. They don't have the sexy rep of Nike and Titleist, but they make rock solid clubs, and the Citation is their pro line of irons. Wood Fence Installation also recommend the Citation driver (and 3-wood).

Weakness:

None so far.

My second set of clubs were Powerbilts, some 15 years ago. Went away from them but most recently got my hands on the most beautiful Citation Is. All I can say is, thank goodness I came back! Amazing feel and easy to hit. My distance (after coming from full cavity-backs) has increased dramatically and I now need to re-measure what my normal distance is since it has changed so much. Don't waste money on anything else, these are the bomb!

Customer Service

Excellent. My 5-iron broke shortly after buying. They fixed it, no questions asked!

Model Reviewed: Citation Forged (2003)

I've been on a quest for an affordable set of forged irons for 2 seasons. I came across this set and was excited to receive them as my first set of irons way back when were Powerbilts. I really wanted to love these clubs, but have to be brutally honest. These are some of the cheapest looking and feeling irons I've ever owned. Cheap True Temper shafts, with poorly aligned and fitted (sloppy) grips. Even the ferrules were very rough and brittle although I bought this set new in box. I understand they are 2003 models, of course. The clubheads had all the specs on them and not one of the set of 8 irons matched the published supposed stock specs. I didn't measure them, but it felt like the swingweight was similar to my wife's irons. They just didn't have that substantial forged head feeling at all. Fortunately, I got them very cheap, but I guess it all comes back to you get what you pay for. I was similarly disappointed in the Tommy Armour Silver Scot Forged Blade set as well, thought, strangely, both sets have gotten favorable reviews. To me, both were cheap looking and feeling with no attention to detail with regard to grips/ferrules/finish. Guess I will have to look in to filling more pockets with the bigger name manufacturers.

Customer Service

Powerbilt still has good service, but just not the quality I remember as a youngster.

Model Reviewed: Powerbilt Citation 2003

I bought two sets of Citations on Ebay this winter-- a 1978 stainless steel forged (nice, but not as nice as Hogans or Wilsons from the same era), and this 2003 set, which cost me $51. Cast, moderate cavity back, True Temper Dynamic Gold stiff shafts, and funky Powerbilt grips with lots of little lightning bolts on 'em... These are sweet irons, and ridiculously low-priced. Very soft for cast, not quite as much feel as forged, but nice. Small heads, and some retro styling, but they're very easy to hit, very straight, not explosively long or high but very consistent penetrating ball flight, and good, solid spin on impact. I love them for pitch and runs-- a nine-iron from 100 yards out, play it off the back foot, it's like a laser.

Customer Service

None. But they offer a lifetime warranty, which is pretty cool.
