anyone with these irons got a quick review of them? I am looking at getting a set because I can get one for $499. Are these more forgiving or are there more of a players iron.

They are super forgiving. They won the Gold Award in Golf Digest's annual Hot List in the Super Game Improvement category. http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-equip...list_sgi_irons
I find them very easy to hit especially if I need to get a ball out of the rough and up in the air in a hurry. Not only are they forgiving, but I find that my distances are almost a club longer than my old set. My first round with them I pulled out an 8 iron in my normal 8 iron situation and flew over the green by 15 - 20 yards. For me they are typically 8 - 10 yards longer than my old set. I certainly recommend them, especially for that price. My only concern with the price you quoted is that you're buying them second hand and it's worth the extra $100 to get them new so you can get fitted for them. Even cheap clubs that are fit to your size and swing type will perform better than expensive ones that aren't fitted.

The Diablo Edge irons are amazing! Super easy to swing and a real forgiving. The first time I played with them I hit 5 below my best score. Plus my distance is also up about 20-30 yards per club. I don't have the sand wedge yet, but the PW is very useful is very sticky situations.

Plus they look awesome

they are not second hand. They are actually 599 and I get a free $100 gift card to the store I would buy them from. I'm also looking at the Nike Slingshot irons which I could get for $100 less

In that case, I would definitely go with the Callaways.

I would have said that even before owning a set. I just think Callaway makes better irons than Nike.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
