I am more than satisfied with these clubs. I fully understand that being a higher capper, there is some shortcomings of playing these. I have lost a club of distance with these compared to my R9's and CB's. Sometimes I miss that, however, not too often. Where these excel more so than the other clubs, is that I get better accuracy. When I miss hit, they do not spray out to the right as much and when I skulled them, they actually produce a playable shot because the distance loss. I love the ball flight, that may be more shaft related but it is awesome.
First few rounds with these, I really had some remorse. I had a lot of doubt going through my head as these were the first blades I have ever played. I stuck the course and resisted a trade in. After a few rounds, I became more dialed in. I did take a hit on scores, but now those scores are dropping. Like a few have said, playing these is a commitment. I can understand why some folks have said that scores will suffer and do what would help your game. I agree, but I also believe that fun is a major factor for why I golf. These are just too much fun. I get over bad shots quickly and when I refocus and hit a nice one, the sound and fell keep my coming back.
Keeping things short, these clubs are great for ME. I have to stay focused and accepting that they are not the most forgiving. If you want a forgiving iron, these are not 2.0's, razr, or a host of others. If you want something that is gorgeous, accurate, gives you a bit more control (up, down, side-side) these may work for you. Distance on well struck shots is good, not 2.0 long, but good enough to put me in a position to score.
Weakness of these is stock grip. Those things suck, IMO.

Great to hear! It's probably not even a distance loss in actuality, being these are traditionally lofted clubs and very weak. As soon as the morgan cup is over I will be busting these out for even more hardcore testing all through the fall. I love being able to hit an 8 iron 20 feet off the ground if the situation arises.
