'ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE TRIED'
Strengths:
Straight, Long, and Accurate
Weaknesses:
None that I know of to date
Overall:
I purchased this club from a ProShop in Ohio, United States for $70.00 NEW and then took it to a driving range for a Demo..Found I liked it then onto the course with it..It carries about 190 Yards or close to 178 Meters and will give some roll, but I have been able to make the RD-Tour Slazenger Balls bite and back up with it....
I have a Uniflex type shaft in it--meaning it is not stiff/nor regular
but right in between. Mine is the 18* loft and it replaces my 5 wood on occassion

'LONG & STRAIGHT, SOUNDS GREAT'
Strengths:
I have a no confidence thing with my woods so needed a long iron I could strike consistently from the tee. My 3-iron wasn't that but the FLI-HI 21° fits the bill perfectly. The flight is usually straight (though not always in the right direction!) and disctance is excellent.
Weaknesses:
None.
Overall:
Without a doubt this has been one of my best purchases.
The price seems to have come down a lot as well.

'GO TO CLUB WHEN THE WOODS AREN'T WORKING!'
Strengths:
Dependable, comfortable, predictable. I can count on one hand the times my 18* has let me down! I LOVE this club. Replaced my 5-wood as I can hit this about the same distance from the fairway or rough and it is more reliable. I play the Mizuno MX-20s and have replaced both my 3 and 4 irons. No small decision as these irons are excellent as well. Just get more distance, more often.
Weaknesses:
In really windy conditions, they can lose a bit of distance. Pull the 21* and use your 3 iron on those days. Otherwise it is open season on greens and fairways.
Overall:
Very pleased with both my Fli-Hi's! 18* is my goto club from the tee for a consistant 230 yarder in the fairway. One of the best clubs I have put in my bag!

'SUPERB'
Strengths:
Very solid feeling,superb flight,Easy to hit, long and straight.
Weaknesses:
Have not found any yet.
Overall:
I received this club yesterday, I went on the range pre round today and hit 6 balls, that is all it took.
It is superb of the tee and off the fairway, straight long and very easy to hit.Distance is not a problem and the flight is great.Very solid feel on impact, giving confidence.I have the 18 degree to replace my 2 iron and replace it has with flying colours.If you struggle with your long irons or fairway woods, I would strongly recommend you try one of these.

'NOT FOR ME'
Strengths:
Looks great.
Good grip.
Weaknesses:
Dynamic Golf Lite shaft.
Overall:
After a couple of rounds with a 21 degree stiff shafted model it's going to be sold. I couldn't hit a solid shot unless off a low tee peg. Found the head weight far to high with the "Lite" shaft, was swinging well with everything else so has to go, pity, loved the look of it.

'SOLID, FORGIVING, DEPENDABLE AND LONG'
Strengths:
VERY long compared to my 3 iron, I hit this consistantly 20 yards further and MUCH straighter! Beautiful ball flight and it can stop on the greens unlike a 5 wood. I would go for the steel option unless you like graphite shafted irons. Very much at home in the rough, fairway or on the tee.
Weaknesses:
None, I tee it up low which is how an iron SHOULD be played as it's a fairway club!
Overall:
How did I play without it!

'FLI HI FLIES LOW'
Strengths:
Have not discovered any.
Weaknesses:
Direction inconsistent. Cannot rely on this club.
Overall:
Major disappointment. Have retained many clubs which are no longer in regular use but which are good clubs. Who will buy this one cheap.
Incidentally my handicap was 5 for one round last year.
