On 2006-05-13, James Little rated this Acuity GS-1 a 5...(6914)
Details: 400cc Driver, 3 and 5 woods, 4-9 irons, 48 and 56 degree wedges, putter, bag
Purchase: I got the set from Dick's for my birthday. The set was only $150. I neeeded a set because I got rid of my old ones as they were too small a few years back.
Pros: First off, the price was great. My friends cannot believe the price and how nice the set is. This is the first I ever hit a graphite shaft or an oversize driver. Not to mention, I have not hit a golf ball period in 6 years. My first tee shot was terrible. I had not been to a driving range. Just went to a course. The 2nd hole I hit about 175 off the tee. Hole 5 I hit about 275. The irons hit nicely. I feel comfortable. I hope to improve my putting soon.
Cons: Nothing to dislike for the money, it's a steal.
Quality: 400cc driver graphite shafts on the woods, hybrid 3 iron steel shaft irons, bag is so nice and not heavy, many compartments for your gear Review Summary: What you get for $150 in this set is unbelievable. I would buy it if I had to do it all over again. I do not see how you could crack a putter like the other guy said. A driver maybe, but unlikely. I can hit 275 off the teeoften and do not feel as if it will crack.

Purchase: I got this set as a replacement for the Acuity K20 set that my parents bought me. The shaft of the 7-iron broke and I exchanged the entire set for the newer model by Acuity. I agree with the review of the K20 set, however, this set is much, much better than the K20 set. The price at Dick's for this set was $200. This 19 piece set comes with a driver, woods, hybrid club, irons, putter and a bag. I would say it is easily worth $200.
Pros: I like the irons and wedges; the irons have steel shafts and perimeter weighting and are balanced very well. The bag is also well built and very light. The woods and hybrid club also work very well. The shafts on the woods and driver are also Adila and look as good as they perform. The clubs also do not look "cheap".
Cons: The grips on the woods are a little thin. I didn't like the mallet putter; I thought it was too light. I also cracked the face on the driver; but I was going to replace it anyway.
Quality: The irons and wedges seem to be very well made. The woods and hybride seem to be solid and more durable than the driver. The driver and putter both broke; but were replaced readily by Dick's. Review Summary: The very cheap price (now available for about $170) makes this a very good starter set. the irons and wedges work very well. I have added a high quality driver and putter. This has compensated for the shortcomings of the set, but I still got irons, hybrid, woods, and a bag for $200. So, I have a set that performs very well for much less money.

Went to the range yesterday to practice. Took the new 9.5* driver to test it out. I hit it a lot better than I figured I would with that factory insta
