Does anyone have experience with Tommy Armour 845 Evo irons? Are they worth checking out?

I have the evo v-31 cast model with the tri-gold by true temper shaft. I like them a lot when I hit them consitantly and I only paid 75.00 for them. But with your handiap I don't think you will have a problem gaming them. They have a thin topline and a progressive cavity in the back, so you get nice forgivness in the longer irons and control in the shorter irons. All in all I like them, but for me I would like a bigger face until I can make better contact.

I tried a used set of them once that I got at play it again sports, I think i only paid like $60 for 5-pw so I figured they were worth the gamble. I actually bought them, used them for about 2 weeks and returned them for store credit. Probably would be good irons for a low handicapper but i just couldnt make consistent solid contact, I need more forgiving irons and they just werent a good fit for me.

I can pick up a set for pretty cheap right now and I want a set of cast blade-like irons use at indoor golf. They look "interesting" to say the least. I like having irons that not everyone has (or wants lol).

Sean,

I had always liked the looks of the TA irons line, but had never played any. Last year, several ST posters shared their views with me on TA 845 family: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...y+Armour+clubs

Sean,

Thanks for the link, although the only even remotely negative comment in the thread is about he V-31s I'm thinking about picking up. They're so cheap now that it's totally worth the risk. I just thought it was ironic.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
