Finally played yesterday, 9 holes though. Been fighting a left hip bursitis issue and got a shot into the joint last week and it felt well enough to not hurt on the downswing. Our home course just opened yesterday too but is cart path only till next week. I quit after 9 holes so as to not work the left hip out too much since a lot of walking was involved to and from the cart to the ball. First iron swing with the new XL irons was a 5 iron. Nice center face with great impact, feel, sound and results. The rest of the irons hit during the 9 holes was just as good. Didn't notice the difference in impact feel/sound between the hollow and filled 5, 6 & 7 irons vs the cavity back 8, 9 & PW. Great straight and high launch with the TT Elevate 95 reg steel shafts. Playing next thursday when the cart path restriction is lifted.

Here's a pic of he impact on the 5 iron. Yes, it felt as good as it looks. :twist: (y)

Are you still gaming these irons? What's your thoughts on them now?
 
Tried the 7 iron in these and it seemed actually not a hot face but a consistent distance which is promising. May order a DW for more testing.
