![]() The feel and feedback is perfect for my game: enough to tell when you miss the center, but never harsh - even on thin hits. I hit four 3-irons off of one par 4 tee last week, and they ended up in a stratight line across the fairway at 190/195 yards. In fact, I'm in awe of the distance control of these irons. The longest shots with the short irons are no longer than my old irons, but these have a higher trajectory, and therefore, my distance is much more consistently long. The heads are very forgiving on fat hits. ![]() The long irons are much longer than my old irons, if not inherently, then because I hit them clean so much more often due to the larger head and the offset. This may be a downside for single digit handicappers, but with today's balls, few people "work" the ball anymore. I hit all of the irons laser straight, with virtually no side spin. This combination of features definitely works. That said, I definitely need the offset in my long irons to eliminate a push or fade. This last point is key for me, because I found that I drew or pulled the short irons that have a lot of offset like the G2's and the X16's. The playability features I like are the forged heads, responsive Apex Edge shaft, and the fact that the offset is progressive (more offset in the long irons and little in the short irons). ![]() The game improvement features I like are the offset, larger head, and the wide sole for lift and forgiveness. ![]() In the end, I bought these because they offered an excellent balance of game improvement features and playability. I compared these to: Cobra SSI, Ping G2, Titleist 840OS, Cleveland TA6, Callaway X16, and Hogan Edge CFT. ![]() That said, I buy irons every ten years, so I tried many brands to find the right fit for my game. They are indisputably well crafted and handsome to look at. I have used Hogan irons for over ten years (H40 - circa 1993), so I was predisposed to like Hogan clubs. ![]()
