I’m liking the irons more than the putter. I’m biased though because I used to know a guy who collected the old wood shaft clubs and I reallyliked those too! I’d never hit these, these would be for the wall only.

Now this seems like a fun assignment. Beautiful looking clubs no doubt. I’m not sure how I feel about the heads or leather grips, but I do find the idea of a hickory shaft to be rather intriguing. It is probably difficult to isolate the shaft performance from the other parts of the club, but I am curious how you felt about the shaft in particular, its flex, perceived weight, feel, etc., when swinging the thing.

I was on the team that helped develop these irons and I can assure you that as much or more R&D and technology in these blades as in any other modern blade on the market. It was quite a challenge working with the hickory hosel and the weight placement challenges that it presented but we were able to get the COG in a spot closer to the center of the face. It is very similar to any other modern blade on the market. These are not cheap heads put on a hickory shaft they were designed from the ground up for the hickory shaft and for modern blade performance and they deliver just that.

Maybe it’s the golfer…not the technology?

Think of all of the golf legends who played with basic equipment and were able to achieve great feats! Something has to be said for skill…this game is not supposed to be EASY….

looks great on a wall, not the course… technology simply makes this product falter in our current day and age.

I tried these last year at a charity event and I am absolutely baffled that anybody could say that they think they perform as good as modern technology. They were really cool to look at, but no way would I compare them to my X-20;s

I have owned a set of these for about 1 year now….and I don’t plan to go back to my Steel shafted irons any time soon….these folks really put a great deal of technology into these products although made from organic materials…I’m a big fan…

wow, those are beautiful. and i agree, they should have sent you like a 7 iron to test. it might have made for better results. it would be cool to own a set of these though. they are gorgeous. wish there was a photo of the grips in the review

Clubs are gorgeous and the story and people behind them are great too. However I hit these clubs and would not consider them to be close to the same level as our leading brands of today. Millions and Millions of dollars have been spent on R&D by companies to make the best shafts and club heads in the world. There is a reason for each generation switching to modern technology. Part impulsive, but in my mind, part because it makes them better.

I think these clubs look great and would look great as collectibles, but as “players’ irons” I am just not sure.
