Looking for a brand name iron after building a set of clones
Bought Stiff shaft to reduce slicing
I hit a 7 iron about 140-150 yds Pros: + Low cost for a supposedly top of the line club.
+ Dull Head finish will holdup well over the years.
+ Seems to have helped with slicing. Cons: - Sweet spot is very small.
- Consisently inconsistent results from shot to shot (A friend with the same clubs agrees).
- Very poor in the rough. Head seems to grab
- Grips are too hard.
- Head is too small for high handicapper
- Off centre hit hurt Quality: Well built and rugged.
Progressive off-set well designed Review Summary: Low cost
Good for mid to low handicappers
Not the best choice for a high handicapper

Purchase: Ebay...~150.00... Pros: If you can find an iron that plays as well as these for the money, I'll eat your hat. No frills, just pure golf. I own Ping, Taylor Made, Titleist, Mizuno, and KZG irons (I can't stop buying) and none of them compare. I wish the more expensive brands were comparable but it just ain't happening. I did add Rifle shafts (6.5) and softie grips after purchase but my other sets also have the same shafts so the comparison stands. Cons: Haven't found it yet. Playability and feedback are a-ok. I do have trouble working the ball left to right but that's ok. Quality: Excellent! Review Summary: Buy, for goodness sakes, buy! I enjoy the fact that no matter where I go and who i play with, more often that not someone else in the group is playing the 845 and loves them just as much.

Purchase: Bought at Decathalon Sports Mega Store for $299 (steel shaft, chrome finish). Upgraded from my first set (beginner) Wilson Jumbo Pro Staffs. Wanted a more serious set to grow my game with. Pros: I love the feel of these clubs. You know when you hit it true and they are very consistent. They also have increased my distance on most clubs, even though they seem to have higher lofts. Cons: The small club head is hard to get used to when you purchase smaller clubs. My first set had a huge club head and I would never shank a shot. I've hit a couple off the end just getting used to them, but that comes with the territory. i will gradually be able to increase my club speed as I get used to them. Quality: Solid construction with a chrome finish makes them look like professional clubs in the Ping and callaway range but you don't have to pay those prices. Review Summary: I'm glad a purchased these clubs. I think they are a good value for your money, especially for an intermediate player who is trying to get better. They have a very good reputation and now that I own them, I can see why!

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
