I used to play them in 2000-2003. I made the mistake of trying the newer clubs from Taylormade, ping, callaway... Well, i found a good used set recently, regripped them, and went out on the course. The feel is addicting when you strike the sweetspot. I can work the ball both ways now and am more accurate now. Yes, on a bad day with a swing that has not warmed up yet will punish you. But, once you take that pain reliever (for the older guys) and warm up, they will work well. My lowest round was in 2002 with 990s. After putting yhem in my bag, eighin 3 rounds, i am happy to say that im back to matching my low round. No more wasting my time with “modern” irons.
