My Review 

I'm writing this for budget-conscious golfers.

These are game improvement clubs. They are great for my level of play. I can't use them to work the ball, but as long as I make good contact, it goes where I aim. Distance is about 10- to 15-percent greater than my previous irons (Ping Eyes). Accuracy and chance of hitting the ball are considerably greater.

My overall rating is based on a beginner's use.

I realize these may be scarce, but a beginner who sees a set might considerably benefit from them.
