I've been in the market for new irons for about a year now, having played Taylor Made LCG's with graphite shafts for past five years. I'm about a 9.5 handicap and felt I needed to hit more greens in regulation to improve. At first I thought I wanted the Adams Idea irons, but I took a demo set out on the course and just wasn't very impressed. Then I went to my pro shop and spent about two hours on the simulator. Sarted off with my TM's to establish a benchmark, then worked my way through everything I was interested in. Tried the Taylor Made RACs, the newest Callaways, the Hogan Edges, the Adams GT's, the Pings and the Wilson Deep Reds. I have a lot of brand loyalty to Taylor and really wanted to buy the RACs, but the more I hit them the more I just fell in love with the Deep Reds. I had always thought the fat shaft was a gimmick, but these are by far the straightest irons I have ever hit. I got fitted and bought a set of 4-sw with the steel fat shafts. Could not be any happier. Far more forgiving than the LCG's, straighter and I'm able to hit these just as far with steel as I was my old graphites. I've had them about a month. I track my stats for fairways hit, greens in regulation and putts and thus far am hitting about 20% more greens in regulation than I was before. I've read other reviews saying these are too much game improvement and not for the better golfer, but I disagree. It takes more effort to move the ball, but it can still be done. I tend to think anyone who's not on tour would benefit from irons that tend to go so straight. Plus the cosmetics are awesome; very classic looking despite the fat shaft. Finally, at $499 they were at least 2-300 less than anything else I was looking at. That was important since my wife was actually buying these for me for an anniversary present.

It was important to me to get my new clubs prior to a previously planned trip to Vegas with my wife; Wilson shipped them overnight and I got them the day before we left. Plus they included a free sleeve of "Jack" balls (which I guess they need to get rid of).

Hit deep reds at loca demo days and was immediatly smitten. High, straight and far. What more could i ask? Was custom fitted by local pro for 1 degree flat. Clubs arrived 1 week later. Took some geting used to but once i found the groove i was enthralled. These clubs rock. They are 1 club longer and dead straight. They really inspire confidence. I was nailing the 3 iron 240 down the centre of the fairway. What a weapon.

Excellent Club for both the low and high handicapper. I was in the 90's, now I am in the 70's thanks to the wilson deep red. Picked up about a club and a half in distance. Hands down the best value and performance out there. Finally a set that I was able to keep for almost a year now.

i purchased the fat shafts a year ago. they have been a decent club. the PW i found to be the easiest club to hit. although they are decent, i am trading them in on a set of callaway big bertha irons later today. once again decent club, just not what i was looking for. i used the regular club(no customizing) and think i paid the price for it. getting 1" long and 2 degrees upright with my berthas.

After reading many positive reviews here and finding a good deal, I purchased a set of deep red fat shafts (steel). Much to my surprise, I absolutely hated these clubs. They might be good for someone without decent swing, but if you are already capable of hitting a ball straight, stay away from these. My swing felt so restricted with these clubs, which again is good if you have a bad swing, but not so good if you dont. Beginners only kind of stuff.

never had to use it, so I dont know

I have just recently got back into the game after come out of another professional athletic career. While I used to be a loyal Staff blade player in my youth I found difficulty in controlling the ball, esp the strong draw. After doing some research and spending time at the range with many options I settled on the Deep Reds. The hardest thing about them is getting used to play a consistent straight shot!!!! I play a +1 stiff steel shaft and I have seen about a 10% increase in distance and I would say a 40% increase in control. I also have to thank the DR's for my third ace two weeks ago, I took dead aim and it never moved. These clubs WILL increase your confidence and of course your scoring. For the money

These are outstanding irons. I had been using a set of Tommy Armour 845s for the past 12 years, so I was more than ready for a new set. I am hitting approximately two clubs further, with no sacrifice in accuracy. I am a very tall person (6'8"), so my clubs are fitted at 2 inches long and 4 degrees upright. However, even with these "extreme" specifications, I haven't lost any accuracy, probably because of the forgiveness of the clubhead and the stability of the fat shafts (mine are steel, with stiff flex). I would recommend these to anyone seeking game improvement, but I would imagine that even a very low handicapper would be very happy with them as well.

Customer Service

The customer service was terrific. Golf stores that believe in custom fitting for everyone are hard to come by these days. Please note that the price I paid may seem high, but that is because it was in Canadian dollars.

I have been on a search for a new set of irons for the past 3 years. I thought the search was over with the Hogan Apex Edge untill.......I tried the Deep Red's. The Red's feel just as good as the Hogans and and are more forgiving, accurate, and straight. I got these custom fit 1/2" over and 2* degress upright on E-bay for $300.00 . Great Deals on E-bay right now. I'll give a more in depth review later as the snow melts here n Minnesota...I've only used them on a couple golf trips but they are the real deal ! If you want forgiveness, accuracy, and better distance then give these a try..the Deep Red's will not disappoint you.
