I bought these clubs 2 months back for about $270 from Golfsmith. I had some trouble initially because I was trying to swing too hard. After i got used to it I am getting about 10 yards more from my shorter irons and about 20 yards more with the long irons. The best thing is the control and I am able to go for the pin now. I am stil having some trouble with 3 & 4 irons but hopefully with some practice I will be able to use them as well as I can use the others.

Wow, these irons are just superb and are quite simply the easiest clubs I have hit since taking up the game 20 years ago. Having recently purchased them via Online golf at a snip price of £199.00, they are without doubt the most forgiving clubs I have hit. Because I am able to hit my irons into the greens with more height I now find myself playing more consistently and two days ago I posted my first every sub 74 round. In my opinion, these clubs are made for any +5 handicap golfer. Also for all those people who cant seem to hit the ball in the sweet spot, these clubs would be for you because the sweet spot is almost as big as the entire club. Buy these clubs and you will see an improvement in your game!!! The clubs are really easy to play with. All you have to do is swing the club through the ball and the club does the work, its almost effortless. They also hit the ball very far, before these i played with callaway X14's but these clubs add 10s of yards on to my shots. I play off 9 but im sure my handicap is going to lower thanks to these clubs. Lastly, any self respecting golfer will argue that looks matter - theres no point owning clubs that you think look disgusting and you wont be dissapointed with these.

I was looking to upgrade my irons because the ones I'm using are at least 15 years old. An acquaintance had a set of these for sale and I was able to try them out for a few rounds. The postives are that they are nice to hit out of bad lies and the rough, and the 8-SW are easy to control. But I have a tendancy to slice and the longer irons just added to the problem. Also, the distances were eractic, probably due to the very low sweet spot. For instance, I flew the green and went out of bounds because I middled the shot and then came up way short with the same club. Hard to have a good game when you can't hit your irons consistently.

I was playing senior graphite shafted Adams and that is a good set but I found out my swing set is still too fast for senior flex. So after readin reviews here, bought the Rac HT's with steel regular flex. At first the extra offset threw me off during my 1st round but by my 2nd round I was hitting them straight and higher and longer than my last regular graphite shafted set of Callaway X-18's. I like the OS head giving me extra confidence. There is no harsh feeling even on slight mis-hits. The steel shafts are more consistent in holding direction than the graphite shafts. Just concentrate on making sure the club is not closed or open and make a smooth swing. The ball will go straight and high everytime. I can even hit the 3 & 4 irons well with these but I will stay with my hybrids for those 2 clubs..the hybrids are a tad easier. Paid $300 by mail-order in factory sealed new condition. Customer Service Clubs look well made, none used or anticipate using.

Great irons. Very easy to get up in the air. The long irons (3,4,5) are very similiar in performance to the hybrids I've tried - very easy to hit high and with distance.

There is only one thing to say about these clubs, they are great!! I purchased them when i had a 18 average of 85-90, because of these clubs and a lot of practice i have been able to bring my handicap down to a 5. The only bad thing i can say about these clubs is that, i have a very fast swing speed with my irons its around 105mph. The reason i am telling you this is because i had to have my irons regrooved because the ball would slide up the face after a year and a half. Everything else is top notch on these clubs. |

I just recently bought these irons after graduating from a set of old wilsons, and let me tell you, these things are sweet. Dont worry about the ht, the trajectory is not to the balooning effect , but it is nice and makes for a very soft landing on the green. I am a player who usually struggles with my irons, particulary getting them up in the air, but these get the ball up with little effort. In fact, you can barely swing and the ball explodes off the clubface. In fact, i have already played 18 holes with them and did not mis hit these clubs one time. In fact i tried to mis hit them on the range by swinging with the ugliest swing possible, and it still had a high, penetrating ball flight. For a mid handicapper who shoots in the high eighties or low 90's, or someone who struggles getting their irons up in the air, buy these clubs immediaetly. You can get a set for about $400 now, so the time couldnt be better. Get a set, you'll be glad you did! Customer Service I have a TaylorMade R580 but have never had any problems with it that would require customer service. I think TaylorMade makes the best clubs on the market, so i dont think i'll ever need it. Similar Products Used: Wilson Ultra, Ping EYE2, Ping ISI-K, Nike SlingShot. The rac's are by far the best out of all the irons i have owned or hit |

I have to start off by saying that i am a club junky and that this is my third set of irons ive bought THIS season alone. That said i feel i have a pretty good basis for comparison. It has been my mission this summer to find the "perfect" set of golf clubs for my game and while there is still allot to be figured out with the rest of my bag i can safely say that my iron search is now over.
Similar Products Used: I started the season with Callaway 04 big berthas 4-10+P+S and switched to a set of 06 Big Berthas 4-P+A+S because i didnt like the loft configuration of the 04's with the silly 10 iron i kept choosing the wrong club. Both sets of Irons are very good and they play almost the exact same as each other but they are heavier than the TMs and i dont like the Micro taper uniflex shafts they had. I think the Taylormades are just as good if not better (more workable i think) and you can get a much better deal on them than you can the Callaways. |
