I bought the TCF irons to replace my set of TaylorMade Burner Midsize. I purchased the heads 3-SW and put them on Rifle Lite Shafts in 5.5 flex and Winn grips. These clubs are amazing. The forged carbon steel gives it soft feel, while the cavity back design adds to forgiveness. Pured hits feel like butter, while slightly off center hits hold straight and lose little distance. The TCF are not as forgiving on super off-center hits as the larger deeper-cavity design game improvement irons like Callaway, TaylorMade RAC,or Nike Slingshot, but for a golfer of moderate ball-striking ability, the tour cavity forged will give up little, if anything in terms of loss of distance or accuracy on miss-hits. The trajectory on the irons is moderate; its center of gravity is not overly high or low. The distance is a little shorter (3-5 yards) per club compared to the cast irons I have tried. Most importantly, my short-iron accuracy has improved tremendously. I've always struggled with hooks but the low-offset design of TCF irons make the my shots straighter. The forged designed also allowed the irons to be bent 2 degrees flat which suits my height and swing type better. The SW which comes in 54 degree loft was easily bent to 52 and now serves as my gap wedge. Best of all, I got something similar to the Hogan, Mizuno, and Yonex forged cavity designs at less than half the price.

Woe is me. I will never have to go through the long tough journey of club tryouts as my local clubmaker banged me up a 4-pw set with tt tx90s as my first set of clubs. It's like marrying your grade school sweetheart and then finding out she is rich. Now I watch ebay for the set that is going to replace these when I wear the chrome off. The golf god Tom Wishon did these for Golfsmith when he was there. Boggles the mind that they stopped making them.

Build the Set 2-PW with Dynamic Gold Lite R-300 and Lamkin Crossline Midsize grips. A wounderful and outstanding combination. Excellent feedback and playability. The best irons I played so far and I have no intent to switch.

I built these clubs about two years ago to replace a set of Lynx Parallax. I knew I wanted a min-offset, forged head. I demoed MANY clubs at different demo days, but nothing really tripped my trigger. Read an online review on the Tour Cavity Forged then ordered a 7 iron, just to try it. Built it with Dynamic Gold S300. Took it to the driving range hit a bucket of balls, went back home called Golfsmith and order 1 thru Lob. I've played them now for two seasons and they are still THE BEST feeling club I have ever hit, bar none. Forgivness-good. Workable-outstanding. And they are great to look at. I just wish I could find a driver that feels as good as these irons.

a great iron. not hard to hit when you arent swinging your best. i shafted with 5.5 rifles and they are sweet. great bite even on hot shots. much lower, more controllable trajectory than most other irons ive used. these babies are pretty in the bag too. i think they look better than pretty much anything out there.

ive used so many sets of irons its stupid to even try to list them all.

I just put together a set of Golfsmith Tour Cavity Forged irons and I am extremely pleased! These irons have as good a feel as any forged club on the market, period! The best thing is that they are very forgiving for a forged club.I figure I saved myself at least 500 to 600 dollars by making my own set of professional quality forged irons. I assembled these with True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts, S300, with Tour Velvet grips. The feel is unbelievable.

Have had nothing but positive experiences with Golfsmith.

These clubs are wonderful, and I am very happy with my purchase. They look, feel, and play as well as any forged iron out there, and at a fraction of the price of the name brands. And since they can be bought as components, you and/or a professional clubmaker can make them to exact specs, instead of settling for whatever the name brands do to their clubs. I was worried that the minimal offset would re-introduce a slice into my long iron shots, but that has not happened. And the minimal offset and lines of these clubs look very nice at address. The cavity back provides a surprising level of forgiveness in a forged iron. I put these together with True Temper Dynamic Gold X-100 shafts (3/4 inch over length -- not that I am a big hitter, but I am tall and the extra stiff shafts help with control), and Jumbo Tour Velvet grips. These clubs are also easily adjusted for loft and lie, though it is probably best to have Golfsmith or other professional clubmaker handle the adjustments.

I just built a set of these, 3-pw with flighted rifle 6.5 shafts. Played with them today and shot 74 with 12 greens in reg. They felt great. Good set of irons for the price!

Another 5 out of 5 for me also. I first had a full set of the Pro Forged musclebacks and decided to go with the cb's for the 7-pw. I liked the cb's so much I went with a complete set. Didn't loose any performance since the TCF are just as workable as the blades. I shafted my set with Rifle Lite 6.0 double soft stepped. Feel is almost as good as the blades when pured and more forgiving. These are the best forged cb's I have hit at any cost. I have a second set of these heads in storage in case GS does something stupid like discontinue them.

ok at best...can use some improvment
