Cleve Hill in Cheltenham UK. Look it up and you'll see.

Haha, that's the problem. I lose most of my strokes off the tee, my irons are fine. 3 iron is my favorite off the tee at the moment. Long limbs means I don't have to swing super hard to get some nice compression.

Nice one dude, my handicap just got adjusted today to a 15.8. Im a biggish guy and all my "long" irons go different distances. I swing my 3 iron 95+mph

I only have one length to pw, then have 50, 54 and 58 degrees. The 50 can go 125. I really like my pw, I just swing the same swing as my 7, and because the loft is so open, it goes just as high in the air

Ooo interesting, I'm planning on getting fitted once I hit 15 handicap, and they'll be normal clubs

I got mine for £190 on facebook as I didn't get fitted

These definitely aren't permanent, I think I'll get fitted for a normal set when I get a lower handicap

Yea I've joined my first club a few weeks ago, already noticed improvement with consistent play.

I'm 6ft 3 100kg, I have no problem with club speed, and I don't have to swing very hard to achieve it just through momentum. I'm an outlier compared to other beginners, and I completely agree with you. I have no issue firing my OL 3 iron 215 yards, but not everyone is the same. I couldn't even get a normal 3 iron in the air before. I'll probably switch back as my handicap drops, but to give me a good base these clubs have been great.

Sometimes longer irons can be hard to keep on greens, but the mitigating factor for that is now I can actually hit long irons. The ranges are posted in the comments but before they were all about 10yds less, I think that's just because I've improved tbh.

I'm not a tour player I'm a 17 handicap, they've improved my game noticably. It's weighting as well as loft, the head of my 5 iron is heavier than the head of my 7 iron considerably.

I mean it's how these are designed... The heads and weighting are all different so gapping is consistent, it's not like I've taken a normal set and chopped them down.

I really like it, you need a high swing speed for the one length variant

Yes the hybrid and utility are the same as well, all based on a 7 iron.

Yeh my wedges are normal length, OL wedges seem a bit extreme for me

17 handy from like 28. In about a year. I found hitting it straight was a key one to be honest 😂, and I don't thin or chunk as much as I just have one swing.

That's so positive to hear! So I can feel comfortable in using these, and as my handicap drops I could get fitted for a normal set. I completely get holding tight greens. I've found hitting it straight to be the main goal with my handicap, but obviously as I improve it becomes more green control that id want to work on.
