chuck4golf Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 First, Happy Holidays to all! Even though our grandchildren are not here this Xmas I am feeling festive and hoping everyone is enjoying the season. After a pretty extensive evaluation where among other things I hit RLL's A-Grind copper R1''s (awesome clubs. Awesome) and exchanged a thousand emails with Chris, I bought his last set of Seven blades in soft black. These are my favorite irons ever, hands down. I have played them for several months so it's not just the new car smell. These are a brilliant design. So much so that I have (finally) lost all lust for other irons. Thin top line, thin sole with just the right softening of the leading edge, these clubs look great at address. Great turf interaction. They are really generous for a blade - I am a 9 index and can't imagine needing any more help forgiveness wise. As to feel, I'm not as sophisticated as many of you on the subtle differences between heads - so many variables besides the head - shaft, grip, ball, quality of strike. But these feel incredible to me and I know where I hit it on the face. There's actually a wide range of feels the club transmits, but solid and transparent would be my core description. I love hitting them, love the sound and feel and watching the result. For whatever reason I hit these on the screws a lot of the time. I put aerotech players spec r flex in them and this combo just works for me. I am convinced that shaft weight is a major element in how a club plays. The main reason I chose these was that the design philosophy was partially inspired by Macgregor vfoils which are the clubs that reintroduced me to blades. The result is a brilliantly balanced head. These are not the blades of yesteryear. But at address they look like a players club and I love that view. The reason I am writing this is Seven is a tiny company. You'd think the cost structure would make a club like this hard to design and produce at its price point. But everything about his head is done intelligently and with quality. So I just thought I'd tell you guys about my perception of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiromikey Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 They're definitely one of the best looking irons in my opinion and on my short list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
