Summary: I got my musclebacks in 2004. I put Rifle 6.5 flighted steel shafts and Lankin full chord grips on them. These are by far the finest clubs I have ever played. After just a few months of owning them I went to Kauai and PARED the Kiahuna Plantation course! I was there 10 days and never shot higher than 77, including Poipu Bay! The amazing look of these clubs (especially at address)is matched only by the power and feel. The feel and feedback is equally amazing, providing great workability. They are definitely a player's club, however, as they are not very forgiving on mis-hits. I would also use head covers because they get dinged easily. Mid-to-high handicappers should probably not use these irons, But if your on, these babies are sweet!
Customer Service: Glad to see the MB TP Smoke in the product line. Please don't stop making these!
Summary: I picked these clubs up for $199 with projectx 6.0 shafts. I am one of those guys who believes that your game/swing will only be as good as your clubs allow. When you have game saving irons, they will not provide enough feedback to let you know your swing is off. To me they (GSI's) reward poor swings and therfore will not provide a proper base for improvement. These clubs provided that needed feedback/base. I hit them as far as I hit my mx25's give or take 3 yds. If you have a real passion for the game and want to improve, don't be affraid of these clubs. Yes my swing is improving and I am hitting them with confidence. P.S. I love the way they look at address.

Summary: I play the RAC TP MB irons. Definitely a "Player" iron only. Small sweet spot, great feedback to the hands, and easy to work the ball and control flight. I've got the Rifle 6.0s in them which sets up for a little highter ball flight, which is great for mid to high irons of course. Great looking irons both from the back to the look over address. Of course, being forged irons, they are easy to ding up while banging up on eachother in the bag so iron covers are highly recommended for these clubs. Great club and will be playing these bad boys for some time to come!

Summary: Having recently purchased these irons reviewing golf clubs is not something i normally do but these irons are so good i felt compelled to do so.Lets start by putting things into perspective ,these irons are for good ball strikers ONLY .They are not the most forgiving but better than alot of bladed sets i have tried.They have a lovely soft feel off the face and the distance control is excellent.I have the prescision rifle shafts(6)fitted which give a resonably high penetrating flight which can be adjusted relatively easily in the correct hands.Awesome golf club highly recommended.
Customer Service: have not used as of yet.

Summary: Just purchased these fitted with rifle 6.0 shafts. (They were brand new, but being cleared at half price). I am not going to lie like many reviewers of such clubs and tell you that they are easy to hit consistiently. They are NOT. The result they give you is directly proportional to the swing you put on it. A good smooth swing gives a very satisfying shot, a swipe at it will be punished accordingly. Feedback is very good, and around the greens and for knockdown shots they are excellent, with tremendous spin and control.
I was/am playing the RAC TP Forged irons and these are quite a step up. My initial feeling is that I might have over-stretched myself a little, but I am going to work hard with them and give them a go. I have only played one round with them so far and it was an eventful round to say the least, a mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly. There were enough good shots however to make me want to master them. I initially found the RAC TP Forged a step up from the RAC LT's, but worked at it and my ball striking improved significantly.
Customer Service: None experienced
