I picked up a set of these over a year ago at the same time i picked up a set of Mizuno MP-32's for dirt cheap (bought both as i couldnt let a bargain slide). I immediately went down to the range to try out both sets, with the Nakashimas significantly longer across the board and the little bit of extra weight and chunk in the head giving them some grunt and penetration with ball flight. I immediately sold the MP-32's after one round as these were just "that" much better. They have a real crisp and sweet feel when striking them and i have friends who dont play very often who love to have a hit of them. Easy to shape... just make sure you have the right shafts fitted so you can get the best out of these puppies!
Amazing craftsmenship-the clubs just scream style and reliability.
(NB. the reason i put the value rating so high was beacause i purchased them on ebay in brand new condition for a fraction or RRP)

Bought the heads for 320 Can. brand new out of the box and put in a set of N.S. pro 1050 nippon stiffs. The look is very appealing, a fine a cavity back as you'll find I suppose. But I found the head to be heavy; I play the Mizuno line, presently the mp-29;s, so the head of the naks are noticeably heavier than the Mizzie. The other thing that I don't like is that the top line of the Naks are quite a bit thicker than the Mizzie line. For me that doesn't fly as the thinner the better. But the workmanship is excellent, beautiful looking, beautiful set-up but nevertheless will stay with the Mizzie line. I took out a Ping s59, a Mizuno mp-29 and the Nak (all 6 irons) to my course and gave a good test. The Ping and the Mizzie outdistanced the Nak and the flight was lower on both as the Nak kind of ballooned on me.

These irons are as good as any player's CB out there and better than most. I have played/owned most major OEM player's cavities and this is my first custom built "Component" set. Component is in parathesis for a reason. You can't just buy the heads from the dealer like a true component company. Nakashima puts the club building responsibilty in a true club builder's hands, not on an assembly line. That's what makes them truly custom. They also force you to get a proper fit. Mine are fitted with Project X 6.0 shafts. Frequecy matched and spine aligned. These are Awesome!! I can hit any shot I need with these and the feel is outstanding. I'll only agree with the one previous poster on one issue. Resale value and that's only because most are drawn to the big OEM's because of the money spent on Tour player endorsements and advertising. If you are serious about your game and in the market for a new set of irons, put Nakashima on your list of irons to try. Most Nakashima club builders will glady send you demo's. That's how I tried mine out. I can't say enough good things about Nak products. Top quality all the way. I aso hit the NX-1's along side the NP-1's. VEry nice rions as well. Softest feeling cast club I have ever hit. They are a little more forgiving, but not by much. Also a very nice iron.

These irons looked beautiful but I was afraid they would be too hard to hit. I was very wrong. I have some friends who shoot in the high 80s and they feel like they are considerably more forgiving than the acclaimed Callaway irons. Very sweet feel and a great look behind the ball. I've played Mizunos which are very good, but they are definitely no better, if as good, as these.

This set of irons are for the decent ballstriker. A players iron with a small head and a topline on the thin side. Offers some forgiveness, a little more than a blade but not enough if you are not a decent iron player (I don't go by handicaps since most loose strokes from 100 yards in and can still be great iron players). These irons are way overpriced. Most places charge $799 for base level dynamic golds. Don't kid yourself, these are just component heads built to the strictest tolerances (weight, lofts, lies). Sure, the quality and craftmanship puts Nakashima to the top of the non-OEM list, but one can find better bang for the buck elsewhere. The only other value I see in purchasing these is the fact that they can be built custom. If you find a dealer who will actually fit you in person, this set might be worth your while. These heads remind me of the 04 Taylormade RAC CB's. Plays just like them and at twice the cost of what you can pick up a set on ebay. Be prepared to loose your shirt on resale if you don't like them, these don't hold value too well.
