'A GREAT CLUB AT A BARGAIN PRICE!'
Strengths:
Easy to use, great off the fairways and out the rough.

A bargain at only £30 Brand New.
Weaknesses:
It may be overlooked by 'name-snobs'.

[Update 31/05/06] Head snapped off 4 months after getting the club! (What do expect for £30!)

Overall:
Having struggled with my 4 Iron off the fairway and out of the rough., I decided to invest in a 24 degree GBH Attacker. I got one off eBay for a bargain £18 with Graphite Shaft.

Now i've got to grips with this club, i'm a lot more confident at going for greens around the 160 yard, even from dodgy lies!

Had enough of hacking about on the fairways with a 3 or 4 Iron? Then grab a GBH Attacker!

'GREAT QUALITY CLUB'
Strengths:
Consistent straight, confidence builder, great solid feel and get's up pretty easily
Weaknesses:
Non so far. Yes it does have a small head but I think this is a plus as it really get's in the rough.
Overall:
Fantastic Bargain Club, I picked a 24 degree off ebay for £18 and it's my favorite club. I have never hit a bad shot with this yet. Even when I top the ball I get a low straight flight.
Every shot seems to go straight.

I'm looking to add the 18 degree soon to my collection...

'GREAT RESCUE CLUB..EVEN BETTER PRICE.'
Strengths:
Great price, good club accurate and long (have 18 degree)
Worth trying for very little cost
Very easy to use
Weaknesses:
Label snobs will not try it.
Shaft a bit bright but arent they all nowadays
Overall:
Got mine for £15 off ebay and have not looked back have used it to replace my 5 wood and its excellent.
Sliced a drive into the rough, took out the rescue and hit it onto the green and made par!

'LOWER SCORES... LOW PRICE'
Strengths:
This club makes hitting far off the fairway a doddle. Clean strikes are much easier than they are for a 3 or 4 iron... and the ball flies high and straight... even for a high handicapper like me.
Weaknesses:
Not a 'respected' clubmaker. Although respect comes when people see it in action.
Overall:
For the price this club simply cannot be beaten. If you struggle with irons above 5 iron then this club will re-energise your game. I bought the 21 degree loft, and it shaved 10 shots off my personal best on the first round I played. Highly recommended.

'MAGIC'
Strengths:
Short shaft, nice weight.
Weaknesses:
None, other than those reflected above. e.g.[not a big name club]
Overall:
The best 30 quids worth one can buy for this kind of rescue club.. I have the 18o and the 21o, would like to get my hands on the 24 now.. If you want a tool to do the job, then this is it.

'EXCELLENT VALUE & USEFUL CLUB'
Strengths:
Cheap, well made, easy to hit from the fairway and rough and generally straight. Hits the ball high.
Weaknesses:
Head cover is naff, but who cares at this price?
Overall:
Very useful club for a beginner/high handicapper like me. Very easy to use from the tee, fairway or rough and hits the ball very high. Widely available for just £13 + postage on Ebay.

I've got the 24 degree at the moment but have just order an 18 degree and will probably get the 21 degree as well.

'SHOT-SAVER'
Strengths:
Great club,so chea. Bought the 18- and 21 degree versions and find them so easy to hit from virtually any lie. The look on my playing partners' faces when I hit it perfectly! And at a third of the price of theirs...awesome.
Weaknesses:
Headcover's a bit naff
Overall:
Great club which saved seven shots on my round .No more long irons to be duffed!

'So easy to hit from anywhere, confidence builder'
Strengths:
A consistent high ball flight and easy to use even in deep rough. And at a good price for those who are just starting or unsure about trying a utility club.
Weaknesses:
Seemingly small head size might be off putting but it gets easier the more you use it.
Overall:
Took eight shots off my lowest score and gave me the confidence to go for shots i would not have tried with a long iron.
