Summary:
the first few weeks with these clubs were outstanding. length, height and accuracy all came as standard. then for a period of about 6/7 months i couldn't hit them at all and felt like i had only just taken up the game. however a few tweeks to my swing (mostly slowing it down) proved to be answer. the 981sl seem to work alot better at a slow to medium speed swing. i can now strike the ball as well as ever (if not better) and the confidence i have with these will not be matched by any other club. SUPERB!!!!!

Summary:
Love hate relationship with the 981SL. Had it for about 6 years now, and contemplated about selling them even after the 2nd year. Had it reshafted to NS Pro steel from its original Riffle 5.5. It improves playerbility and feel tramendously. Very satisfying when hitting solid though rarely. Highly frusterating on a bad day. Yet I believe it's a hell of a ood club.

Summary:
I've been searching quite awhile for the "right" irons for me. I needed to be more consitent, and at my age hit irons a little farther. I've tried other major brand name clubs, and some not so famous without much success for quite some time. I took a chance, and bought these from a friend at the course. The surprising thing is, these irons have forced me to tighten up my swing, thus almost negating the need for extra distance these irons provide. The sweet spot on these clubs is a little smaller, but the rewards are huge. I feel nothing when I've hit a good shot, and I feel everything when I make a clunker swing. That's a good thing for most golfers I think. The Titlist DCI 981 SL irons definately are performers. There is a small down-side. Chipping around the green may be a little more touchy because of the decreased loft. I own a 3-SW set and generaly prefer a 56' Cleveland Tour Action SW around the green. However, better technique would solve this problem. My set is graphite shafted which Arthur Itis really appreciates, and I have had the lie professionly adjusted to suit my stance at address. I highly recommend these clubs to any handicap below 15.

Summary:
It's really really really a nice clubs I have never used before. It's really very hard to describe my feeling when the club head hits the ball. Very solid, very comfortable. I can easily to control my club head to hit the ball in any conditions. My distance is now around 175 yards when using no. 7, before that, it's around 150. What a magic?? I'm really very lucky that I can finally have a set of clubs which are suitable for me. If you are still finding a iron set, please try. No need to thanks me if your handicap juump from 90 to 80.
