I can completely understand companies using them in their wedges, they're cheap, they have a name buyers recognize, and with wedges, they're not as concerned with matching to the rest of the set. That said, I'm not sure they'd make a lot of sense in a set of irons. Just because they're heavier than S300's, you don't know where exactly in the shaft that extra weight is distributed, and you don't know if the shafts are any stiffer than regular on-spec S300s. (of course, they can be matched by a competent clubmaker, but at that point, you might as well just use a bunch of regular old Dynamic shafts and skip the "gold" part)
No offense at all Rick, I knew this when I bought them. I also know its all in between the ears too, but I prefer the extra weight in them even if it is only a few grams. My dispersion has tightened big time since I installed these.

Yes its probably all mental, but everything helps, right???

And I believe that pretty much no golfers actually know this but they believe they are 100 grams heavier because of the numbers, so that's why they buy them. Ignorance is bliss....
