Purchase: I got these clubs from the pro from a local club. I got them for 650.00 custom fit.
Pros: I love the distance and feel of these clubs. I was hitting 125 yards with my old PW it's up to 140 now. They are very easy to work right to left or left to right. The S300 shafts are nice too. The irons have great feel when you hit the sweet spot and feel beter when I thin one than my old cavity back irons.
Cons: I got to different kinds of grips. Golf Pride on 8-pw, Cleveland on 3-7 irons. i perfer the golf pride grips but the Clevelands are all right. Please email me if you had the same problem or an answer.
Quality: They look good and haven't broken so the quality seems good.
Review Summary: These are great irons. I recomend them to anyone with a 0-10 handicap.

Purchase: I went to 2nd Swing Golf in Roseville, MN. They let me take these out for a round as part of their demo program. I have been playing Ping I-3 O-size and wanted to see if a "player's" cavity back would allow me to take my game to the next level. They are asking $699.99 3-PW for these including custom fitting.
Pros: I played with a set with the Dynamic Gold S-300 stiff shafts. This is a very precise feeling club with some forgiveness for mis-hits. I enjoyed the reduced offset which allowed my to shape my shots more easily than with my Pings, which have a pronounced offset. Very long, I believe they must be lofted fairly strong to get the yardage I was getting. 145 yards for a PW??!! Yikes! That would take some getting used to.
Cons: The set I played with wasn't custom fit, so the stock clubheads were fairly lightweight. I would prefer a slightly heavier swingweight over stock.
Quality: Very attractive club. Cast head will last a long time and stay looking good. Soft stainless steel is used for good soft feel at impact, along with their vibration dampening system in the cavity of the clubhead.
Review Summary: Cleveland wedges have always performed well for me, and these clubs stand up to my favorable impression of Cleveland's clubs. Easy to work the ball with, yet slightly forgiving for mis-hits. A great club for those looking to take their game to the next level, but aren't quite ready for blades. A++

Purchase: I purchased these clubs from the pro at my local muni. I traded some clubs so the price paid is not relevant.
Pros: I went from Ping i 3's to this club and the difference is amazing. Extremely forgiving and the ball is workable in both plane and direction. The heads are small and have that traditional look , they gave me lots of confidence and have improved my accuracy tremendously.
Cons: The Cleveland lettering on the sole traps dirt easily...yes I am a nit picker.
Quality: Coolest looking club I have ever owned. My yardages between clubs is very consistant. Well made I am extremely satisfied.
Review Summary: Do yourself a favor , go hit them before you buy anything else.
