Good quality components such as Wishon, KZG, NAKS etc are fine club heads. Stay away from the low priced heads, JUNK.......
There is nothing wrong with having a set of irons that are non OEM.

I for one have played Wishon 550C's for two seasons and trust me there is nothing cheap about these irons.

However, being a new comer to club building you might want to think this over. There is more to building clubs than cutting the shafts, putting the epoxy on and assembling them. Then gripping them. You need to know what you are doing. After all you have just invested some coin in the heads, shafts, grips etc.

What you might want to think about is this. Locate a Certified Club Builder in your area. Go talk to him and tell him what you want built. Ask for a firm price, and then go from there. In reality a well built set of Snake Eyes might end up costing you almost the same amount as a set of OEM irons. However they will be custom fit to your swing.

You should be fit, have your swing speed checked, grip size checked, all by the builder. This takes time and that costs you money.

So get a price from a builder, then price your OEM irons and compare.

Another option, buy good quality used irons. I just picked up a like new set of Cobra Forged CB's, same irons being played by some of the COBRA STAFF PLAYERS. I paid $500 Canadian for these irons and I bet the 3-7 iron have never been hit. A $1100 set of irons, less than a year old, barely used for less than half price. Now that is the way to buy clubs!
