Information on Confidence Irons

[iamwardicus]

I'm looking for information about Champion "Wide Zoom Body" irons by Bob Williams design.  My old boss sold me a set (4-9) and they have Champion MX200 graphite shafts (listed as S flex).   I'm curious as to how old the design is (I'm guessing they're non USGA conforming if they're as old as I think they are) as well as what graphite shaft of today might be comparable.   

Thanks for any information!  I'm quite stumped as my Google-fu is weak it seems.

I am so embarrassed - I have no idea why I typed Champion...   They are "Confidence" clubs by Bob Williams.  I'll edit my OP now.

They appear to be made by Northwestern, a cheap brand that was around in the 80s, maybe into the 90s IDK. Northwestern was sold in the Kmart I worked at as a teen. I will bet that they are barely worth scrap metal prices.

How do you hit them? 

[iamwardicus]

I used to hit rather well I thought.  I spent 3 nights a week on a driving range hitting 150+ balls per evening.   I injured myself and didn't touch the clubs for 12 years.   I dug them out of the garage the other day as I really need to find a hobby that's not playing World of Warcraft so I can do something outside of my house besides goto work.  

I'm going to attempt to get back onto a range a this fall (when it's not 90+ degrees outside) and I'll redevelop my swing.   When I was taught how to swing it was with an even tempo from back to front.  I'm not sure how fast my swing speed was.  

The reason I'm asking for information is so I have some baseline of what I'm used to.  I'm likely going to just get fitted for a new set since these clubs are so old but I figured why not try to get a little information on them.
