Looked quite sometime for a new set of clubs. Proshop owner really wanted me to try these. These are by far the BEST irons I have ever swung. Accuracy is an understatement..these should be outlawed! You will improve 10 points on your game easily. I also picked up the 10.5 degree titanium 4000 driver and a 16 degree fairway wood. Both these clubs are also TOP NOTCH. I am VERY surprised that this little secret has not gotten out. You can only buy these at authorized dealers...not sports authority etc. Do yourself a favor and pick these up..you will not be dissapointed.

Saw these at my local shop for $699.00 for graphite shaft. Hit some into the net, seemed solid. Found on the net for $200.00,graphite stiff 3-pw, brand new, couldn't say no.....WISH I HAD. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. You WILL get more distance, at a big sacrafice to control or accuracy. Longest clubs i've ever had, and the worst. Score consistently dropped 8-10 strokes over my 20 rounds or so. Played in a BIT of rain once, and once the grips are wet, it's like swinging wet glass. Horrible sound,feel, and result when hit out of the sweet spot that isn't nearly as big as they claim. Big dissapontment, even for $200.00 graphite shaft.They are long but VERY left and right.

Customer Service

Answered the phone quickly, not much help to a horrible grip problem.

An offer I couldn't refuse. Picked these up for less than a set of K-Mart clubs! These play about 15 yards longer, are more forgiving, and are more workable than my last set of clubs. It's very easy to pick the flight path you want. I have absolutely no regrets and wouldn't trade these in for anything. If you can find these clubs for anything less than $400-500 do it, you'll thank me.

Keep your head down!!

Being a tennis player all my life and owning upwards of no less than seven Prince tennis rackets, when I was approached with the option to buy these at cost I figured what the heck. They are wonderful!! I am a left-handed female and there are not many products made for me. But these play like butter. Very comfortable and they are weighted to I know exactly where the club face is at all times. Thank you Prince - I just wish you would have continued with the golf equipment a little more heavily. :-( People who should try these is pretty much so everyone. They make a wide range of flex ratings and size to accomodate every type of golfer size and swing. I have the ladie's left-handed with a green flex NSI (Natural Swing Index) 830. Graphite shafts but not too stiff.
A joy to play!!

why i bought them? b/c they are rare, quite handsome, made by a company who isn't afraid to try new things (what have they got to lose?)... forgiving, large sweet spot; to be honest, I couldn't tell if the technology is any good or not (everyone seems to think their set hits longer and better...) the only other sticks I've had was a beginner's set by Wilson. After getting these, I got a lot better but I don't know if it was the prince sticks or if I just got better because I practiced. Psychologically, I felt more comfortable.

no customer service... i think the golf division must be the smallest cog in the Prince/benneton group.

When I first saw these irons I chuckled. I couldn't imagine a tennis company making a quality golf club. I was looking to buy a new set of irons and after hitting several other clubs I decided to swing these for the heck of it. After my first swing my tone changed and I fell in love. I could not mis-hit the ball with these irons. I was shooting in the low 90's. I would say a bogey golfer. SInce I purchased these irons I am consistently in the mid 80's and am improving on that as well. The sweet spot is huge and the feel in your hands is fantastic. I suggest taking a test drive with these babies, you may end up liking them as much as I do.

I have a stiff steel shaft version of these clubs and I got them used. At first I thought they were a bit heavy, but as I played with them more, the weight was an asset rather than a liability. That is, the exceptional forgiveness of these clubs is enhanced by the momentum the large heads make possible. I also got the gap wedge and the 2-iron and they are some of my most favored clubs, for distance and control, respectively. The 3-pw steel shafts are an ideal set for a not-so-old beginner such as myself. Only if I become much better will I consider replacing them with a set of clubs more blade-like for finesse.

I was not aware that Prince had entered the golf club market and was hesitant about even holding one of their clubs. My pro insisted I try them. Am I glad he did. I have never felt so comfortable with an iron in my hands. They are light and easy to swing, with an incredibly forgiving sweet spot (just what I needed!) I have thoroughly enjoyed these new clubs and would highly recommend them to anyone, especially women golfers. Go ahead, give them a try! You will be surprised!
