Default Srixon Irons - has anyone tried them?

I know a bunch of you play golf - has anyone tried the Srixon i701 Tours?

I found a good deal on them, but since they're online and hard to find to try I'm a little worried about ordering them and not liking them.

Currently playing Cleveland CG Golds, but they're too bulky for me and I'm looking for something more workable.

You suck anyway, so why does it matter? Sharpen up your poker skills or something and save the $

If you are serious about golf you should get the irons professionally fitted by someone who knows what they are doing.

I don't really need that - I fit into standard length/lie angle. . . I think I found a used set at a shop close by, so I'm going to hit those to see if I like them and then order the new ones online.

Ebay. . . somebody has (now had) 3 brand new sets for $305 shipped.

same seller, same irons: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1182

Just ordered mine after hitting the used ones at a local shop (were selling for $350 with worn ripped up grips) and absolutely loving them.

These retail normally for like $800.

That's a good deal for new. That model is a couple years old now, so the price drop makes sense. What type of steel shafts are in them?

Dynamic Golds S300s and Lamkin Crossline grips - same set up I play now, which I was happy about.

I know the 701s came out a few years ago, but I think they're still Srixon's most current model available for purchase in the U.S. They have the ZTXs now, but I haven't seen them for sale anywhere yet. I prefer the look of the 701s anyways and would never be able to afford the ZTXs.

Just a word of advice, when you get them, I would call in the serial number and check the authenticity of them. Sadly, I have seen a lot of people get duped with fake clubs off ebay and other sights.

I love the crossline grips too, especially since I don't wear a glove. The DG shafts a just a bit too heavy for my liking. I have the Dynamic Gold SL with the sensicore in my sticks. Love 'em.

So many ways to go with this, but MaTH will accuse me of taking another layup.
