they are great clubs and are easy to hit and extremely forgiving
i suggest you try them out

I tried the Nike Slingshot OSS, Taylormade rac OS, and the Callaway Big Bertha 06 at the local store/range.
All three were great forgiving irons. You could miss hit and the ball still goes out there.
My choice was Callaway.
Can't wait to play a round with them.

I'm coming to this thread rather late. I tried the Hogans, Berthas, the Callaway X-16's, the Nike Slingshots and the Taylor rac-OS irons and chose the Taylors. The Hogan irons felt hard. The Slingshots and the Taylors felt the best, but the look of the Taylors was just better to me.

I've never regretted my choice. The Taylors feel powerful to me.

Glad you like them... They feel soft, don't they... Good golf club. Now where's that Tiger fella and how much can he bet?

what is the A wedge included in the set?

SLICE · 06-20-2006, 10:00 PM

approach wedge?

Hawkeye127 · 06-20-2006, 11:44 PM

That would be my best guess

This 17 wedges in a bag business is making us learn a whole new vocabulary. I've seen ads for some who call it a gap wedge, which makes sense to me. Others call it an approach wedge or attack wedge...

All that matters is that you figure out how far you hit it consistantly and use it with a smile on your face.

When I first posted in this thread, I was using the TaylorMade rac-OS irons. I've since had a pretty unreal experience, having hit an inexpensive model Taylor iron, the R540XD set. They are a store line club, but they actually feel better to me than the rac set and I bought myself some. They have a different trajectory and I'm longer with them. It's just plain weird. The rac set was ebay'ed and I can't wait to get out after work one evening. If we could get rid of this bad weather in South Florida, I'd be playing right now.
