I couldn't pass up the chance to try some brand new forged irons for under $200. They are smooth as silk (when I hit it square). Off center shots are penalized significantly... I guess that's the price to pay for the work-ability of forged. I wouldn't recommend these clubs for higher handicaps (above 12 or so). They are not nearly as forgiving as deep cavity back irons. But for who have a decent, consistent swing, these are sweet.

I have been a loyal Cleveland TA-3 fan since there inception 6-7 years ago, however I saw these sticks on Ebay and the price was unbeatable, so I took the risk. Frankly, they are tremendous clubs. Keep in mind, if you like Callaways or Wilson Fat Shafts, these will not fit you!!! These are beautiful blades, crisp and clean.

Found myself cheating on my swing with all the other irons and particuliarly with the mx-20. Nice club and super easy to hit but the big sweat spot made me lazy. happen to play with some old forged blades one day and it woke me up. Tried out the evos and i loved them. Hitting the ball much better and my old swing is back and the cap is going down. Driving is also much more accurate. So in short I like them a lot and I hit them well and they give you the nice feedback when you hit a long iron sweet. Nothing like a crushed 3 iron that feeds the results back to you as you hit it.

Wow! Simply the best club I have ever hit. I was truly excited whan I read the news of an Armour forged blade. I have always wanted to return to hitting a blade since I gave up my Tour Editions 15 years ago. When I saw the V-25's advertised for such a low price, I couldn't pass them up. My blades are 1/2" long and came with Rifle 6.5 shafts (my only problem with Armours' are the stock shafts they used.) and Lamkin cord grips. These clubs deliver period! I have hit more balls inside 10 feet in the last 3 months than I have in the last 3 years. Don't be fooled though, I would not consider these sticks "game improvement irons" If you have confidence in your swing and you want true feedback from your shots, these are the clubs for you. These clubs will not disappoint.

I've had these for a little over a year. When I first purchased them, I thought they felt great (I had hit the V-31's before, and these feel much more "smooth"). I did have one small problem, which was that I pulled and drew more shots, so much so that I really couldn't control it. I told myself I had to adjust my swing a little (had been playing 962 DCI's) to account for less offset, but I couldn't ever quite groove my swing. So, I found myself switching back to the DCI's. Just recently I've been looking at new clubs (forged cavity backs like the new 690 CB's, Mizuno MP-30, Precept forged), so I sold my DCI's to a friend. This forced me to switch back to the EVO's until I bought something new. Again, the pull/draw problem was still there. What I noticed this time was that I seemed to have the toe in the air at set up. I measured the clubs against another old set I had, and it looked like the EVO's were set much more upright. I had them checked, and low and behold they were 2-3 degrees up. I had them bent to standard, and what a difference. I played my first round with them just yesterday, and they were just magic (mostly straight with a slight draw). These clubs always felt sweet, but now they were performing as well. I would say I don't lose any distance from my DCI's (I thought the new MP-30's were a little longer). When I bought these last year, I had demoed mp-29's, mp-33's, taylor 300, Hogan Apex Plus, Titleist 990. The EVO's and MP-29's were my favorites for looks (I like the classic blade look) and feel, and since I could get the EVO's much cheaper than the MP-29's thats what I went with. As I mentioned earlier, I have looked at the new cavity backs as well, but now that I adjusted the lie of the EVO's, I don't feel the need to switch to anything else. I truly think this is one of the hidden gems in golf clubs, if you like the classic blade look and playability. Sweet spot (like all forged blades) isn't huge, but you don't lose much off of thin shots, and hitting off the toe is the only place you really see a loss in distance (I would say the mp-29 had the biggest sweet spot of any blade I tried). I have the ones with the sensicore graduated rifle shafts, and I added some weight to the 3 through 7 irons (these clubs swing a little light, especially with this shaft). I give it a 5 for value and 5 overall, frankly because it is the club I have

Just about all blade and cavity back forgings (haven't hit the new Titleist 690's though).

I was playing in the low 80s for the last 4 years. My last set was callaway X-14 (2 years) excelent clubs, but, if you try to improve your game, these irons don't be the way. I tried the pro-series for several weeks (I like callaway), but the big heads specially in the short irons are still there. I tried many clubs, and finnaly buyed the V-25. (the taylor 320 came in second place - very long irons). I trade the 3 iron for a gap wedge and I can't be more happie. I recommend this clubs if you can hit your irons with consistency, you don't need to be a scrach golfer and the replace the 3 iron for a 5 wood (or Hybrid) can be a safe bet. These irons hit the ball straight, at predictable distance, and make the ball stop where you point at. I loose a half club, but my game is more consistent and the short irons are like precision tools. Now I think that I loose a couple of years with the wrong irons in my hands. If you hit your irons without using all the club face, try this beauties.

These are great looking irons. I would recommend these for good iron players who like the feel of a forged club but want more forgiveness than a blade. I shoot in the low 80s and was not sure if I could hit the 3 - 5 irons well enought to buy these. After trying the 5 iron against the Mizuno Pro II and Precept Tour Premium and CB, I can say that these are right in the middle for playability and forgiveness. More forgiving than the Mizuno and Precept TP but less than the Precept CB. I loved the 6 - PW and was able to hit the 3-5 consistent enough. They feel the best when struck well and off center hits still go far. I am going to buy the Precept CBs because they are a little more offset in the 3-5 irons and my game needs a little added forgiveness. But if you want a great, classic looking iron at a great price, buy these. If the price drops some more, I may pick up a set myself.

The irons are beautiful without a doubt. Fortunately, they feel just as good as it looks. I played with MacGregor Muirfield forged blades for over seven years (brought them back out of the closet) since 1986 and they fell almost like true blades. I can control the ball trajectory, and draw and fade on command. I'm not as good as I used to be (used to be a five handicap) due to college and lack of playing time for five year period, but I do know sticks and what is good and what isn't. These are great clubs, but I recommend use for those between 0-10 handicap. Nothing but sweetness in these sticks. NO overhype on the five stars. These irons deserve it. Those who know golf fundamentals and swing mechanics will agree.

I initially felt like these clubs were out of my league as I am not a 0-9 handicapper as many people recomend for using them. However (arrogantly) I decided that I had the ball striking abillity to use a blade for the first time anyway. So I went to try them out and after hitting a small bucket of balls with the 6 iron, I was sold. Going from a set of TM Firesoles to these was an extremely smooth transition. The tecnology almost had me sold before I even swung them, but in practice they preform as advertised. The cavity back helps slight mis-hits, but the feedback these clubs give to more severe mis-hits is helpfull. I have since dropped 4-6 strokes off of my handicap because of the way these clubs (as any blade does) require you to make a smoother swing. The combination of game improvement features with forged blades could not have been done any better.
I was compelled to write this review after a round I played at my local course last night. Being a higher handicapper (mostly because I have NO short game) I had yet to take advantage of the "workability" of these clubs. On a whim, I decided to hit the 3 iron on a dogleg left where I had usually just used a 6 iron to lay up. The club preformed flawlessly, and I had the thrill of my life watching my ball draw right down the middle of the fairway just the way I meant to play it. The hole plays 280, and walking up to my ball with nothing more than a 50 yard chip to the green would be a wonderful feeling for most golfers (I turned it into a 6 - ARGH!!)
So, If you are looking for your first set of blades, I highly reccomend that you give these a try.
