I played Wilson Di7s, Mizuno Shadow HTs, and TaylorMade 2008 Burners. I bought the PM Command Q Titanium Irons. I hit them 15 yards further per club than the Burners, and I think they are more forgiving than the Wilsons. It could just be the factor of moving to Titanium clubs, but I believe the Pinemeadow Clubs are well-constructed and a good set of clubs. I was able to get them "custom" fit for much cheaper than I could have anywhere else. Now, it's expensive for me to get clubs properly fitted, because I'm over 6'3" tall. Standard shafts are too short for my swing. So, I can't buy used Pings or Razrs, because no one sells them cheaply at plus 1". One reason I used to be sold on Mizuno was because they didn't spend a lot of money on player sponsorships and just concentrated on making great clubs. You used to be able to get a great set of Mizunos for a great price. I don't find that to be the case, anymore. PM's claim is that their clubs are made in the same factories that all the major club brands are made. They say they don't spend all the money on marketing and sponsoring players; therefore, they can sell a quality "clone" at a low price. Mind you, they are not violating any copywrite laws any more than generic brands are in the grocery store. Then again, I buy those, too! Now, I'm no pro - I'm anywhere from an 8-12 handicap over the last three years. However, I've had the PM clubs since May of 2011, I can hit my PM 8 iron pretty darn straight most of the time, and it flies 155-160 yards. There may come a point where I want to move to a good set of player's irons, but while I'm still a mid-handicapper and I don't worry about moving the ball around a whole bunch, I'll stick to my Pinemeadow irons. In the interest of full disclosure, though, I do carry four Vokey wedges in my bag, along with a Rocketballz Pro 9* Driver, a Rocketballz 3W, an R11 7W, and a TM Burner 4 hybrid.
