A good transition club as a step up from game improver irons. These are nice to look at and have similar feel and playing characteristics to Maxfli revolutions. Not too thick top line and not so obvious offset. There is just about enough help with the progressive cavities to give more confidence in hitting the longer irons. The 8 iron to sand wedge have solid muscle backs. Distance for me was about the same as previous muscle back sets but dispersion is definitely tighter. I was spraying mid and long irons both left and right as I tried to manufacture shots to correct the direction. I got it wrong more often than I got it right and my game stayed static at 8 h'cap. These seem to suit me better but it's early days. The trajectory on well struck shots for me, is high and arrow straight so hopefully this will continue. It doesn't say but I guess the shafts are regular. The "crankshaft" inserts must do something but I still feel it when I hit a ropey shot. I have to agree with previous reviewer in that you do get the occasional drop and stop with long irons ( must be when we hit them flush I guess!). They are advertised as game improvement clubs, which I think is a shade misleading as you would expect such irons to be more forgiving than these are. If it's a really forgiving set you are after, these probably aren't for you. But if you're anything like me and can strike a reasonable ball but are struggling for consistent direction, these are well worth a look. I like them and unbelievably, picked up an ex display set this year for £60! I think I'm going to like them for a while!

Model Reviewed: Nicklaus JNS with CrankShaft

I like 'em. Prior to buying the irons, I played Ping i3 Blades and Ping Eye2 irons. I don't shape my shots, I just try to hit the ball straight. But, if I wanted to, I suppose that the occassional controlled fade or slice could be produced with ease. For it seems that even slightly flat or tall swings generate the aforementioned results. Mis-hits don't hurt and tend to fly most of the expected distance. They seem rather accurate. However, I am not sure if I can judge this quality as I suspect that I should be playing a stiffer shaft than what the irons currently have (110-115mph driver, 90-95mph 6 iron). And, who can compete with these things on price? 500 bucks with steel shafts! I tried comparable Titleist cavity backs, Ping S59s, Callaway X-Tours, and several others and liked these irons the best (a launch monitor also confirmed that I should like these irons the best). On course performance has not been markedly different from that experienced in-store. My distances have not changed compared to the Ping i3 Blades, though I do have the occasional drop and stop 5 and 4 iron from 205ish and 215ish, respectively--which is something new and much enjoyed. Supposedly, the CrankShafts assist with long iron trajectory. There's no doubt that I played more rounds of golf this summer than ever before and it is largely the time spent on the links that I believe accounts for my 9 index (my lowest ever). However, in that neverending quest for trusted equipment, I have placed these irons atop the list and it is against these irons that all newcomers will be judged.
