just picked up the set of irons, switched from titleist 704cb. picked up about half a club to a full club in distance on all the irons. longer irons get up high and land soft. I went the extra yard and put Rifle project X flighted 5.5 shafts on them, not sure how the stock shafts feel. the Rifle shafts give me a consistant shot everytime. clubs are easily worked in the short irons, also have not had a problem working the ball on the longer irons. i hit most of the top rated clubs either in stores, or out with guys i played with, and hands down these were the best. i don't recommend these for anyone who has an inconsistant swing, or higher handicaps. i am 30, have been playing since i was 10, currently play a few times a week. my home course is the Black at Bethpage, i am around a 4 index handicap. hope this helps
