I've had these for a few months. My thoughts:
- I live in the city. Pretty easy to bring them to the park - I'm by no means a long hitter, but 40 yards sounds about right.
- There's a few feet per club of distance differentiation. It's relatively easy to tell whether you're hitting one club well relative to those around it in the bag, based solely on birdie ball distance traveled.
- Ball flight is pretty true. You shank it, it shanks. Hooks and slices come through naturally. High and straight is a joy to watch. Because flight is similar across the bag, your pitching wedge will fly a path almost identical to your 4 iron, just a few yards shorter. That can be a little weird to watch.
- It's much easier to work with irons and wedges (and niblicks!) with these than fairway woods. That said, they do work with woods and hybrids. I normally grab a few clubs and head to the park (5-7-9 and a wedge, or something similar) with two dozen birdie balls. Pretty easy to loosen up, hit a few dozen good shots, and walk home. Much easier to find time for this than to get to a range!
- Another fun use: indoor chipping practice that won't dent the walls if you're terrible. I use a laundry hamper as a chipping net http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80099224
Thanks for the review! If I were to hit these towards my house, would it dent the siding or wood? I was just wondering because I don't think I have 40 yards to spare in my backyard....thanks for any help.....
It def wont hurt the house, my neaighbor was hitting them and I was catching them. They are gentle little birdies. Glad to see you got you some too Gray. I am def going to bring mine to our outting. Along with Natalie Gulbis, she asked to come and I told her she was more than welcome. Someone needs to play from the ladies tees with Gray
I cant wait to hear everyones reviews. Glad to see someone else has had some experience with these and likes them. You can hit these things anywhere CLG, dont just think back yard

Hey noooooo problem Shanks,,,, I will be glad to accomdate old Natalie
Gray, maybe these will help your game since all that Cobra or is it Puma, stuff is holding you back lol
You know its a good time to look into some Nike Machspeed irons right now? lol If you go to GG and get them you can get the Machspeed hybrid for free with enough left for 2 Nike hats!! YEAHH!!!
i love it kev! i'm glad i'm not the only one who give old gray a tough time about those snakes in his bag. he loves them though, and i think that's cool.
didn't you get some birdie balls as well?
lol yeah its all good fun! Gotta go with what you like.
Yeah mine are coming this Saturday.
i think i might pick up a couple of them today and give them a whirl. i spend most of my evening in the yard with the little man hitting golf balls anyway. i'm sure he'll like the birdie ball as well, as it would make a fantastic bath toy!
are you getting the machspeed irons as well? i notice that your irons in your signature are blank. i'd love to hit them but no one around here has a demo for a lefty.
Its in the works! You keep running into that same issue, maybe you need turn around the "right" way LOL
i wish i could, but then i'd just play like my brother, haha! that's one of the reasons why i love the pga superstore, all the lefty equipment you can shake a stick at, plus they designate a launch monitor and hitting area just for the lefties (i never have to wait to hit anything).
That's cool calloway, where is that store located at?
there's one in atlanta and two in myrtle beach. all locations are a good drive from me, but it's so much fun to be there for the day. they'll let you hit anything too which is kind of nice. it was fun when i was there in february b/c i was able to hit most of the drivers featured in the thp shootout. most of the golf equipment retailers around here don't have a lot of options for me so it was a lot of fun.
NIIIIICE, I could see myself staying there all day as well. what other places do they let you demo clubs besides the superstore?
