I have hit both the Tour model and regular version of the Firesole. Understand that I am used to playing my ole Wilson Staff Tour Blades for some 15 years. I am trying to get a club that offers some forgiveness and that is why I looked into these Firesoles. It did take a few rounds to get used to the off-set on the Firesoles, but man are they helping me land some stick bombs. I would have to agree with some of the previous post of the 3-6 irons. They are getting the ball up easy, but way too high for me. I hit the 4 iron around 210 and it looks like a 9 iron going at the target. Best part about these irons is that I have now got the ability to stop every shot on the green in one or two bounces. My 8-pw bite and spin like never before. I am going through some golfballs however. These clubs eat up the balls with scuffs. I do have a greater sense of confidence with my shots now and that was worth switching over to these clubs. I am now hit the tour model and love them. My swing speed is 110-115 and the DG x100 Sesicores are nice and let me control every shot. I would at least give these irons a shot if you are in the market for another more forgiving set of clubs without having the get into those chucky off-set monsters being shoved down our throats by the big names.

CC i thought that is what yer looking for in a set of irons trajectory distance and workability are you sure yer happy with these irons hope they FEEL good cuz thats all thats left

For me this is true basic, no frill, good looking true performance set. I got mine with S300 sensicore. High hdcpers will feel intimidated because it's bladed. Accuracy is superb. I only complain about the high ball flight and distance is somewhat lacking. It can also use less offset for me . . . I currently carry a set of Walter Hagen blades that I can get 10-15 more yds for the same club.

The people at Intl Discount Golf are no frill guys. They sell you what you want without offering what you don't really need.

If I'm honest I'm a little dissapointed having had these irons for just under a year. The main problem is that I am hitting the ball with more (too much)elevation with the consequent sacrifice in distance (10-15 yds per club). The shorter clubs 6-PW have great feel with the Sensicore shafts. The longer irons are fairly accurate but not too forgiving on off centre hits. Another issue seems to be the lack of spread distance between 7I and 5I (only 15yds between the three clubs). I certainly wouldn't tell you not to buy them but make sure you try them out thoroughly and that you've got the optimum set up for your game. These are probably clubs best suited to 12 down to scratch handicappers handicappers. Nice traditional looking no fuss clubs, superb grips and very well finished.

i recently purchased these irons and have only had a few opportunities to try them out on the course, but my experience so far is very good. I previously used s300 shafts, and these have the X100 shafts, but I amj having no problem with the extra degree of stiffness. When hit on the sweetspot they feel great. Well worth the money!!!!

These clubs are probably some of the best I've ever hit. Very solid feel, no consumer gimmicks, accurate for golfers that have a decent amount of skill. Less forgiving than the Supersteel line, but expected as these are "tour irons" which give control as the tradeoff. Excellent value even at full retail price.

These clubs are very easy to hit. They don't have a ton of distance but fly straight as an arrow. The long irons are very easy to hit, and fly high. The short irons are always on the mark. I definetly recommend them for people who need help with accuracy, not distance.

The firesole tour iron is a little bit more forgiving than then the tiliest DCI 990. The firesole tour gives more feel to players at point of contact. If you are an intermediate player and looking for a new set of iron, I suggest to check out the firesole tour iron.

Good Luck.

These irons sure are sweet...the soft forging in the short irons really helps the ball feel its way to the flag. The long irons are pretty heavy with the sole weights, they almost swing themselves. There are no miracle jumps in distance with these irons, the lofts are not that strong. A good swing results in a good shot, and it is as simple as that. I got rid of my x-12's for these and am not sad about it.

I bought this set of iron to replace my Wilson Staff RM, 1997 model, the one before the fatshaft. Don't get me wrong, I really like this iron. It's very solid and give me a lot of feedback. But after 3 yr, I think it's time for me to upgrade the iron.
I was looking for the forge cavity type of iron (like my old Wilson), but just happen to see www.egghead.com have this iron for bid. I went to local golfshop and hit some balls with their demo, my initial impression was very good. It's very similar to my old one, but not as soft (it's cast cavity). I also like the price I pay compare to $699 retail price at the local shop. 3-5 iron fly considerably higher than my previous one, but 6-p is not as good as my old forge set, even though it's made of nickel. x300 dynamic gold sensicore is also big plus.
