'AS GOOD A SET OF IRONS AS I'VE EVER OWNED!'
Strengths:
Great engineering, sweet feel off the titanium face, extremely easy to use, powerful. These wth proprietary graphite shafts are probably the very best graphite shafted irons you could buy anywhere!
Weaknesses:
Not the easiest to use off rock-hard clay in summer due to their wide soles.
Overall:
As I bought mine for virtually half price-£330- they must represent the bargain of the decade!

'TECHNICALLY SUPERB'
Strengths:
The iron heads, although oversize, are quite pleasant to look at - there's not a lot going on by way of badges and logos. On close examination though it is apparent that these have been engineered to a very high standard. The face of the iron is made from forged & milled titanium set in a forged stainless undercut frame for maximum peripheral weighting. These irons are very forgiving and have the usual 'improvers' offset to aid squaring the face. It makes the long irons exceptionally easy to hit. Surprisingly the wedges (pitching and separately purchased gap) have a lot of finesse with a lot of 'feel'.
Mine are fitted with Rifle 5.0 frequency matched shafts which give a powerful and high ball flight.
Weaknesses:
Not really a weakness but I personally do not like Lamkin grips (which are fitted as standard) - these will be changed for G.P. Tour Velvet.

They are also pricey at normal retail
Overall:
Bought hardly used for £170 to try out, as I like Rifle shafts.

So easy to use and accurate that they have replaced my beloved Mizuno MX-20s in the bag - probably permanently

'SPEND THE CHANGE ON LESSONS'
Strengths:
Price. I was looking to spend £500 on returning to the game after injury..Ping/TM/Callaway but pro at Direct Golf custom fitted me with these for £299 and I was impressed with feel forgiveness and looks. Despite trying I couldn't justify £250 more to pose with some Titleists or Mx23s
Weaknesses:
I'll need another wedge
Overall:
Blinding value at £299 and I'll spend the change on more lessons. These really flatter my game. Having the confidence to hit a 3iron off a thin lie is something that really adds to the enjoyment of the game.

'Very sweet irons'
Strengths:
These irons feel very nicely weighted and sit lovely at address.The sound off the face is lovely and they produce a nice ball flight with good distance.
Weaknesses:
The set only comes 3-PW could be done with a SW
Overall:
A great alternative to the big manufacturers out there,give them a go and you wont be disappointed.Great detail and finishing
