Iron-woods - what do you guys think about them?

[Erlend]

Hi,

I just got home from Marbella, Spain also known as the Costa del Golf among people familiar with Spain. A great trip indeed, with an average of 0,7 golf rounds per day.
But I`ve found out that I need to get a whole iron set, and being stuck with a sucky Hong Kong 1/2 set is my handicap.
In Golf Magazine, there was a test of 4 sets of iron-woods, and the superior winner was Tour Edge Bazooka QL iron-wood.

I must admit I got interested in these clubs, as I`ve test swinged the new Callaway Fusion iron-woods. But what do you guys think about these clubs?

I have been playing for almost a year now with Thomas Golf's hybrid iron-woods. I was converted when I hit my friend's just to see what it felt like. I carry a Cleveland 56° SW but that's it. For whatever reason I hit the Thomas' straighter than my conventional Cobra irons. Distance control, at least for me, is sacrificed somewhat - but my game has improved considerably since I made the switch. Incidentally, I back-up the ball almost as much with my 55° Thomas saucer-sized wedge as I do with my CG 10. Also, the mega-sized Thomas' make super-long and low "chip 'n run" shots very easy. e.g. the "21" (46°) punch n runs just over 100 yds.) My only criticism is that with fourteen clubs in my bag, all of them with head covers, it's a crowded mess! TM425 R7, Cobra 3w, 4 Nike Hybrids, Thomas hybrids 15,17,19,21,23,25, CG 10 SW, Ping Cra-z putter. dayll

I think the longer irons would be great with iron woods, but I can't see the lower ones being too good, and distance control would be almost impossible with them I think, I wouldn't be able to half swing with them.

I have the Tour Edge Iron Woods 6-Gap Wedge. I love them, the sound when you hit them right is great. Of course I am a 20 handicapper so take it for what it is.

I suppose you're asking about hybrids. You may wish to try the Cobra Baffler DWS. This a great club: offered in many lofts, easy to hit, equipped with an Aldila NV-HL shaft. It would be hard to go wrong with this one. Good luck.

I`ve actually tried a Cobra Baffler. I hit too much of a power fade, when trying to drive it 180-200 mts. Nothing for me, I guess.
