My 7-iron went from 155 to 175 yards. The feel is surprisingly soft for a game improvement iron. Sound is a satisfying thud, not that tinny clang you get with some distance irons. Highly recommend for mid-handicappers looking for more distance.","date":"2024-03-15","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_064","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"WeekendWarrior","rating":5,"text":"Got fitted into these at my local pro shop. The forgiveness is outstanding - even my mishits go straight and far. The hollow body construction really does make a difference. Only complaint is the lofts are very strong so you need to think about your wedge gapping.","date":"2024-04-02","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_064","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"SeniorGolfer62","rating":5,"text":"At 62 years old, my swing speed isn't what it used to be. These irons have given me back about a club of distance. The ball just launches off the face. Feel is solid, not mushy. Very happy with this purchase.","date":"2024-05-18","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_064","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"SkepticalBuyer","rating":4,"text":"Let's be honest - the 7-iron is really a 6-iron with the loft at 27 degrees. So yes, you'll hit it farther, but it's not magic. That said, the forgiveness IS genuinely impressive and the feel is way better than I expected for a GI iron. Worth the money but don't kid yourself about the distance gains.","date":"2024-06-10","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_064","source":"Reddit r/golf","sourceUrl":"","author":"u/WaldoChief","rating":4,"text":"The reviews have been very positive but it seems like few own them or have tried them.

To be fair the lofts are jacked on the DS to about a 6.5 iron. Still very impressive distance gain. Dispersion was good.","date":"2024-04-22","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"prod_064","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"LowHcpTester","rating":3,"text":"I'm a 5 handicap and tried these hoping for more distance. The heads are too large for my eye and I couldn't work the ball at all. Zero shot shaping ability. If you're a mid-high handicapper they're great, but better players should look elsewhere. Returning these.","date":"2024-08-05","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"prod_064","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"DisappointedWithFinish","rating":3,"text":"Love the way these play - distance and forgiveness are top notch. But the dark finish started showing scratches after just a few rounds. Playing from fairway bunkers left visible marks on the sole. For $900+ I expected better durability. Still play them but it bugs me.","date":"2024-10-08","sentiment":"neutral"}],"total":8}
