I have argue to my playing partners that technology can be an inhibitor for low-handicap golfers (reducing 'feel' and the ability to work the ball). However, in this instance I would have to say that technology has been an advantage for me. decorative concrete San Jose

I was looking for a 50* gap wedge for my 2nd set of club, saw this 52* gap wedge on eBay for $8.95 so I gave it a try. Took it out to the range last weekend, hit it well but the ball went up in the air and distance is shorter than I expected. Took it to Dicksporting Goods and the guy told me that it's 53.5* instead of 52* as marked and he was kind enough to bend it to 48* free-of-charge. I took it with me during my business trip and practiced with it after work chipping around a putting green behind the hotel, it's not bad for $8.95. The club is a little bit heavier than my 50* 2002 Callaway wedge, but after I get used to it, it's not bad at all. The PGA pro at Dicksporting Goods told me that since its bounce is low (probably less than 8*), the ball flight would be higher , that's why I bent it to 48* to hopefully get the same distance as my current 50* 2002 Callaway wedge. For $8.95, can't go wrong. I believe that La Jolla went out of business a few yrs ago, either not enough marketing or ????

can anyone tell me where to get a set of the la jolla knife irons with hyrid. i have the 3 wood and it is fantastic.

I can't be happier. I picked this set up for $100 shipped off ebay, brand new in the wrapping and they have been fantastic. Forgiving, but not to the point you can't work the shot. They have to be the longest irons I've used by a good 10-15 yards per club. The clubhead weight is heavier than the Pi5's I had, but not so heavy that timing becomes difficult. I hope these last me a while because they're hard to find and I love hitting them.

I've owned about a dozen sets of irons, ranging from Callaway Big Bertha wide soles to X-16 Pros with Sensicore to Nike forged blades to some exotic Maruman & Taylor Mades & "1 Iron Golf" setups as well as Titleist forged cavity backs, etc... Out of curiousity, I thought I'd give these a try. For about a $100 with a hybrid on eBay, why not? When they arrived, I was a little skeptical since they were touted as "blade-like" and seemed a little chunky on the bottom, especially since I am now playing the Nike blades. Yet, they setup like a large blade and are sort of like Callaway Fusion wide soles in terms of forgiveness. Can it get any better than this? Read on... Like the other reviewers stated, they can go dead straight & stop on a dime. However, I can also work the ball with equal ease. They setup & hit like a large blade. Very, very comfortable. When you hit the ball right on, the club has a sweet, buttery feel to it. Miss-hits don't go far offline, and don't lose much distance. In fact, they are always leaving the ball very, very playable. One thing I love about these is how fantastic they are from the rough. The bounce angle of the sole allows them to go through 4 inch grass in the practice area with ease. Another great thing is how accurate chipping is with them. The soles keep the iron on-line, which is probably what also helps them in long grass. I'm finding that I prefer to hit a bump & run with the pitching wedge rather than use my Cleveland -- because I'm getting better, more consistent results. So, in sum I guess I'd say they are as forgiving as my Big Berthas were (only about a club longer), setup much like the X-16 Pros, and yet are as workable as my Nike blades. All this for $100? I can't believe I spent all that other $$$ on other sets... Think about it. With any other iron design, the sole of the club hitting the grass is subject to the same lie angle adjustments you have to make & attempt to control. It doesn't matter which iron you buy! I guess the knife design at the bottom of the sole reduces this guesswork, keeping the ball more on line. So for now, the Nikes have become the backup set. Enough said...

I have hit every set of irons you can think of Callaway, Mizuno, Taylor Made, and Titlist the list goes on and on. These clubs are fantastic! They have added about 25 yards per club and they go a straight as an arrow and stop dead. If you want a cheap set of irons for beginners or advanced players you can’t go wrong with these.

These irons are awesome. Had T-Zoid Pro's before and they sucked. These are great very easy to hit and look like a normal forged blade/cavity etc at address which is what I like. They are great and very straight. The ball flight was surprisingly not too high. Picked em up at Golfsmith.com for $100 bucks new. Honestly if you can swing a golf club, you can't go wrong with the Knife's.
