Top Flite Tour

Summary:
Now here's an interesting set of irons that I bought on E-bay for $49. The set have Made in USA labels with serial numbers, Fenwick Stiff 90 gram graphite shafts, Stock Top flite grips which feel somewhat corded (the grips do tear up my hands a bit). This used set looks practically new, the previous owner used just a few of the clubs seldom - Not a scratch on the soles or backs nor shafts.

Compared to my Ping i3+ with JZ Stiff steel shafts the Top Flites are a mixed bag for my game. I love the Top Flite Wedge thru 7 irons. I hit the short irons farther than the Pings. I'm consistently nailing 150 yard Wedges with Taylormade TP balls when I go for it. The accuracy of my shots is equal to the Pings. The Top Flites have a nice heavy and solid feel. BUT, I'm not as happy with the 5 to 3 irons. The heads get progressively smaller, the top line of the face thins out. And somehow my shots tend to go wild with the 3 and 4 irons. And I'm an accuracy monster with my Ping i3+ Three & Four irons.

So are these old USA Made clubs worth the $49 I paid - YES! Are they equal in quality to my USA made Pings? - No.

Yet, I'll keep them for a while as I enjoy having a change-of-pace set of clubs. I like variety, even if my handicap may suffer. I'm a hobby golfer, not a serious competitor.

Ludicrous! In the past two years I've bought and sold over a dozen sets of irons and at least 25 drivers / fairway woods. I'm using Callaway VFT Driver & Woods & 2i Hybrid with great success & the Ping i3+ irons have reallyimproved my game.

I'm spending my children's legacy on E-bay.

TOP FLITE TOUR W/ MUSCLE SHAFTS (R80 GRAPHITE)

Summary:
I PURCHASED THESE IRONS AROUND 1999 FROM A LOCAL PRO SHOP. I PAID AROUND $500 FOR THE FULL SET OF IRONS. I TRIED OUT MORE EXPENSIVE CLUBS, BUT THESE CLUBS LOOKED THE BEST TO ME AT ADDRESS AND FELT GOOD TO SWING. MINE HAVE THE R80 GRAPHITE MUSCLE SHAFTS. I LIKED THE MUSCLE SHAFTS BECAUSE THEY WERE LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN STTEL AND GRAPHITE. I WAS 27 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME AND SWUNG HARD SO NORMAL GRAPHITE SHAFTS WERE TOO FLIMSY FOR ME. THESE IRONS HIT A BIT LONGER THAN MY PREVIOUS SET, GOLDWINS, WHICH WAS FINE WITH ME. I HAD TO GET RID OF THE GOLDWINS BECAUSE I KEPT SNAPPING THE SHAFTS JUST ABOVE THE CLUBHEAD. GOLDWIN KEPT REPLACING THEM, BUT I WAS TIRED OF BEING WITHOUT A CLUB FOR A WEEK AT A TIME. THE TOP FLITES HAVE A SOLID FEEL AND GREAT TRAJECTORY WHEN HIT CORRECTLY. THE BAD REVIEWS MUST BE ON THE LATTER VERSION OF THIS IRON. I WAS LEARY OF THESE CLUBS DUE TO THE LOW PRICE, BUT WAS CONVINCED THAT BECAUSE PGA PLAYERS WERE USING THEM, THEY WERE PROBABLY ALRIGHT FOR ME.
