Simon asked me to try these at my lesson with him today and they felt as good as the Taylormade and Mizounu !
I would love to hear your opinion on the other afordable brand: Takomo, as I'm really tempted to get one set
Truth will stand the time…
These sure look a lot like a lot like Takomo clubs. But, they do offer recoil shafts, and that is a definite plus. Unfortunately, that makes the cost over $700 USD. I wonder, though. Why would someone who hits a wedge 145 yards want with these clubs?
It's like everyone is blind that these "direct to consumer" irons are all made straight off the shelf in the china and anyone can literally buy them if they can afford the MOQ!
These are good for beginners as they're cheap. Not a tool for a serious golfer
12:42 I have T200 and 6i toe is very forgiving. I'm coming from AP2 and am shocked at how forgiving they are, really opened my eyes. I didn't like low lofts but learned to club down for everything and added a Cleveland 46*. Now wondering what this would be like with chunkier cavity backs
I tried these for a couple months because of the price and got to say i didnt like them, groove's arnt deep enough and they mark up so easy, ended up getting some brand new P790's on black friday for £650. They are the 2021 model but brand new so cant go wrong really.
Not related to this video but i wanted to thank you for a video you did a couple of years ago with the 917D2. I bought one based on your recomendation for $120NZD. It transformed my game off the tee and brought me a whole lot of enjoyment in doing so. Just had it reshafted for another $120 and its still keeping up with the OEM big names. So a big thank you SImon from NZ. Keep up the good work.
I’d love to know what’s inside them too. Ordered a set and the noticed the foam and tungsten claims have been removed from the website… asked and got ignored. So cancelled the order. Just wanted some clarity but got none sadly as I was excited to try them!
Your honesty is absolutely fantastic.
Couple of points. Second hand irons have no warranty if they’re over a year old generally (ping excluded)
2-You can get the Caley custom fitted in steel shaft option for length & lie it’s just an extra £50
Love listening to your reasoning. I love second hand equipment. You don’t like them, sell. And most of the time, for a small profit.
I'm interested to see someone have a review of these irons after using them for a while. I got a caley set about 1.5-2 years ago and have found them to dent and wear pretty badly. Ive got the glue coming off my hosel ferrulles as well, plus the bag has worn pretty badly anywhere its been rubbing after me carrying it or where the clubs have been pulled out plus the badge is falling off.
Im a fairly new golfer though so i dont know how well you should expect clubs to hold up and how common those issues are.
In saying that though, its good to get a full set of shiny new clubs for around £700 at the time when i just started and really had no idea where to start on what a good set is.
Hey Simon, many thanks for taking the time to review the 01T irons – a very fair and thorough assessment. We will take onboard of your comments to help us improve on our future offering. Many thanks, Ryan
Simon….2nd hand wilson irons bargain bargain fantastuc kit
Simon….the srixon range of irons 2nd hand are so cheap…why people qpuldnt get into them is beyond me …zx5 zx4 under £500 easy and less
Personally wouldn't go near any DTC irons ….thought this for a long time along with all the terrible Kirkland stuff nar the gloves …I don't understand why people spunk 500-600 on the DTC gear …not getting fitted is a sin
I was looking at the Caley irons but managed to pick up a brand new set of 2020 P770's for £570 5-pw. 😊
Good review, interesting
Mizuno don’t charge extra for standard range graphite shafts or grips.
So much great used stuff out I wouldn't mess with this type of thing then again I play ping eye 2s
The inability to try these combined with the loft gapping issues you spoke about, would most likely prevent me from buying these or any similar type. I know that my set 5 iron at 24° is pretty much the limit of my hitting ability. I would have to drop the 4 iron and find something for a gap wedge, which would add to the cost.
You talked about a large head with little offset. Anyone looking for that, I highly recommend the Cleveland Launcher xl's, I have those and have them weakened, which reduces offset even more. Plus there are very affordable brand new if you do some digging.
I will say that these look good though, and it looks like the recoil shaft may actually work for me (I know looking simply at specs is a bad idea)
Do yourself s favor and get some Wilson Staff. Between the big boys and DTC new, incredible value second hand.
I have decent speed, but tend to miss right and would love more forgiveness. Is there a more traditional lofted set of irons tghat have more offset and forgiveness or is that combo something that nobody makes?
I'm on board with your view of favoring 2nd hand equipment. Great way to experiment. I've played with hollow body irons and cavity backs. For me getting the lofts set up to my swing speed for gapping is the most important thing. I was surprised that cavity back irons work a bit better for me in the long irons over hollow bodies because they give me a bit more spin. The 5 iron gets a bit marginal without enough spin and swing speed. After all the experimenting I'm able to settle down and focus on my game.
Caley, Takomo, now Ram, Haywood: all Chinese blanks. Kirkland: P790 seconds.
New level 902-os forged players distance irons are the best irons I've hit and I've gamed miuras in the past. Pw 43 but I bent the set 2° weak so the little offset that was there is now gone. The build quality is outstanding and the fitting options on the website are first class. Everything about the purchase was first class. The guy that invented the adjustable hosel created this dtc company
I think everyone just wants to use blades because they are just that sexy. GI iorns are looking more and more like blades these day for that reason. Just use blades and practice good ball contact instead of using a bandaid GI club.
I tried them and couldn't get on with them at all, so I returned them and got my money back with no issues.
The service was excellent throughout, and I certainly wouldn't be put off purchasing from them in the future.
