Purchase: www.edwinwatts.com, $600, Edwin Watts no longer sells these irons.
Pros: Clubs have a very good feeling to them. They feel very solid and crisp when you catch them but when you miss the ball you really know. It doesn't really have a bad ringing felling when you miss but you know that you missed the sweetspot. Has a very thin topline which make you feel like you are going to catch it good. The long irons are moderatly forgiving and easy to work the ball and the short irons are very easy to work the ball. There is a moderate amount of bounce on these clubs so that you don't catch too big of a divot.
Cons: Not much to dislike about the club besides that they aren't very big in size and not extremely forgiving.
Quality: Clubs are made of nickel which gives a very soft feel. Beautiful looking irons, especially the short irons which are musclebacks when the longer and mid irons (3-6) are cavitybacks. The seven iron stands alone with a very small cavity. The only disadvantage of the construction of the club is that it dents a little easy since it's mad of nickel so it might be good to get some headcovers. Review Summary: Very nice irons for the mid to low handicappers. They are easy to work and give a lot of confidence to the accomplished player.

Purchase: I bought this set of clubs brand new on an Ebay auction for $365.
Pros: The blade style irons have a soft feel and have great distance and workability(PW,9,8). The short irons also play a bit longer than the rest of the clubs in my set. Acuracy and good feel is the strength of the short irons.
Cons: The long irons lack the soft feel and distance of the short irons, even if they are struck pure. Not bad, just not as good as the shorter irons. The transition is very obvious between the 8 and 7 iron.
Quality: I think the finish and style of the PW-8 iron is excellent. The soft metal dings easily though. The overall quality of the product is very good. I have had no problems. Review Summary: For a mid to low handicapper(6-12), these irons have much to offer. Good feel, workable, and less expensive to have such a great concept in a set of clubs. If you hit the ball very well, have a low handicap, a set of good blades would probably serve you better. On 2004-01-14, Feeling\'s Believing rated this Maxfli A10 Tour Limited a 5...(2663)
Purchase: Purshased used, in Japan, on US military base--excellent condition. Why: looking for a used second hand set, as back condition may not last to warrant paying full price new; they looked like a nice set of irons: 3- PW, shafts are S-300. Paid $200 from club Asst. Pro.
Pros: Once a 5.1 USGA hdcp, and after several injuries and docs orders--no golf--I began playing again after 4.5 years of layoff. After going out, teaching the son and wife, swinging easy and no injury occured, I was developing the love for the game once again; then, I began looking for a low cost club to play with, so we wouldn't be chasing each other trying to share clubs. (Wasn't looking to spend, when the injury could resurface at any time.)
Bottom line: The clubs are outstanding. I usually begin my round (after stretching) swinging smooth and easy. Then, after the knots are loosened, I take away easy with a slight pause, then release with a natural-play force. (Think I hit my irons naturally long for an infrequent player; other players appear to be daunted by the iron distance.) (I play my wifes Gem flex and must swing much slower to achieve accurate, consistant distance/trajectory.)
The irons produce reliable distance, great feel, with both a slow and/or moderate force swing. I can play very low, long shots, or medium trajectory shots to the green with a resulting med. spin and bite. I've played several top clubs over the years and these are, in my opinion, very accurate and easy to play--the best results overall.
Cons: Nothing--really. I have a bad back, so my trunk area is not as strong as a healthy player's would be. With that hdcp, I will chunk a shot or two; but, that's my own personal problem, as would be the case for anyone with muscle control deficiencies. I'm probably playing to a 12 hdcp after 6 months of playing from my last layoff. If anything, the irons are helping my hdcp. (Of ~40 rounds, I have one even and several 2-3 strokes over rounds.)
Quality: The construction is totally fine; finish is a nickel/chrome. They are absolutely beautiful golf clubs. I believe, one might say, they are classic. Well, classic to what. I learned on Wilson Staffs; played Ping 2, square grooves, and Titleist DCI, OS. I've played Cal X-14s and 16's--demos. I also, play my wifes GEM flex Callaways. The A10s look and feel sweet! Review Summary: If you're not one who needs to play "What's In the Bag", I think you'll be amazingly surprised at how you can play with these clubs. Unfortunately, you won't find many demo sets, or sets for sale in the pro shop. Because, I was what is described above (as one who played in the past from what's poplular or heavily advertised), I am fortunate to have stumbled on to these awesome irons.
