Summary:
great beginner clubs, not for game improvement at all though. 5,9,GW are amazing;best clubs of the bunch. no complaints for the 8. 3&4 hybrid, 6,7 is another story, really bad feel, no forgiveness. the 8,9,GW are the only decent ones off the T. like i said, amazing for starters (maybe the best)...but you will know when it is time to get some improvement sticks! sorry i have nothing for the PW, i dont hit it well regardless of brand therefore it is my punch out of rocks club. what i dislike the most of these sticks is how they feel, you can feel your shot all the way to your top hand.

Summary:
I have had these irons for 10 years and I love them as much today as the first day i bought them. I work at a MAJOR golf retail store and recieve a very nice discount on equipment, but I stay true with the irons pictured. I played with them in college and they work just as good now as they did then. The only complaint are on the two hybrid irons.... they freakin suck!!! But 5-pw is Money son! Do yourself a fovor and purchase a set of the Fat SHaft III's you'll be happy you did. PS- all the other fat shafts suck but these. Sometimes you just hit the diamond in the rough thing you know.?

Summary:
I got the Wilson Fatshaft irons (3-PW)as a raffle prize at a charity golf outing. I smiled and thought hmmm? how much will these bring on e-bay. The answer was not much so I decided to hit them. With out a doubt they are the hottest (longest) clubs I have played. And I kept taking them to the range but not to the coures. I didn't want the homies to know I was hitting "entry level clubs". I love the feel of these clubs and I have gotten over that stigma (cheap *** Wilson clubs)and I now keep the 4-9 in the bag. And anyone who tells you these clubs can't be steered is wrong. I can draw or fade them at will. The distance from these clubs can not be overstated. I use 2 clubs less than EYE did with the mass produced "custom clubs" that I now keep in the garage. The set I play has stiff shafts which is a first for me and I'm hitting the 9 from 150 up to 165. The 160ish shot would be a from a tee. I do agree with other reviews that your wedges should be custom selected to fit your game inside of 150 yds. Pin point accuracy with the fatshaft P-wedge is just not possible. It's not the line, it's the distance. And controlling the sping is also difficult with the fatshaft P-wedge. Btw, I did buy a used Deep Red fat shaft driver to see if the distance advantage carried thru and unfortunatly it did not. The fat shafts did not lower my score. I still score 80-86 depending on the course and conditions. I keep them in the bag for feel and distance.

Summary:
I'm an 8 handicap and I LOVE these irons. I'm not a big guy (5'9" 150) and I get a lot of distance out of these (9 iron 150; 5 iron 200). For me the key is that these shafts are very light compared to most others. I feel I am in complete control of the club and can just focus on hitting the ball. The fat shaft reduces torque on toe hits which translates into a loss of distance but they still go straight. I'm not a fan of the hybrid 3 & 4 irons, but Gap - 5i are amazing.
