J-J Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Hi, I have a chance to pick up 3 of these driving irons but need a little more info on them. I think I can get a 3,4 and 5 in new condition. Can someone give me a review or better things to buy? What are these worth these days? I guess there a few years old since they released them? Thanks, J-J Edited January 29, 2006 by J-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, J-J Hey J-J, and congrats on the new blades how you enjoy them! In regards to driving irons there are better on the market IMO, even fourteen has made an updated version of these and yes your correct they are a few years old. I also don't think you would really need 3 driving irons in your bag. Go with the PRGR 220i its easier to hit and of much better quality, drop me a PM I have a tour issue #3 head that could have your name on it.

dorkman53 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I bought one a few years ago after they were "pumped" on "another board" as the greatest thing since sliced bread. "These things should be illegal". "Stupid easy to hit" I bought one, and was fairly disappointed with it. It was much harder for me to hit than a fairway wood-based hybrid off the fairway, and I didn't find it a miracle worker off the tee, either. I sold it. Now the Mizuno MP UX 2's are my current "best hybrid I've ever hit" winners, and I got them from Chris on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer2 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I think they are super-- particuarly if you want an iron type club, thats more forgiving yet somewhat traditional. It you want height and foregivness than maybe a wood/utility is the better way... but for the low boring long iron shot, with foregiveness, the Fourteen is tough to beat. The retail is more foregiving and has a wider sole... the V-2 tour is more compact with a thinner sole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull808 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I've said it a fewt times that the Fourteen is "stupid easy" to hit. The 858 with it's offset and thick sole is made to be stupid easy. This was after I tried Hogan's, TM TP's, Titty 503's, PRGR's, Mizuno's, Tourstage X's and a Tourstage Fut. The Tourstage Fut is still my backup on certain courses, but just a little too long to fit well with my set up on all courses. I have had no problems with the 858 moving it in either direction. Most importantly it was definitely not the hook machine I had in my TP Rescue, the last hybrid I had prior to the 858. The 660 on the other hand for me was a little harder to hit with the thinner sole and much more regular iron look. I didn't find any improvement using it compared to a normal 2 iron. Like any club, not all of them are made for everyone. After all I got my 858 free from a guy who couldn't hit it worth a darn. A week later he saw me hit it to 2' from 240yards. :tsg_smilie_wink: Edited February 4, 2006 by pitbull808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
