Well so much for the bag being set. I just couldnt resist these. I have been looking at them about 20 times a day and finally gave in. I really like my current irons except for the height I hit the ball with them. Very hard to keep the ball down. I really need to stop doing this back and forth iron BS, forgiving to players, forgiving to players. Ball striking is my strong suit so hitting these wont be a problem, and as far as looks go, they are second to none. A little paint fill removal and they will be perfect.

Heads are $52 a piece Canadian funds.

I need to buy new shafts as well since these are taper tip for some unknown reason and really dont feel like reaming the hosels.

So add another $200 for project X shafts and............................

Great looking irons, Lyle!! Can't wait to see them once you're done building them!

Now, for penance, build me a Geek/Limey combo as a gift. I'll feel much better about your ho'ing once you've sent this to me. :laugh:

PM me for shipping address.

Lyle, can you tell us why you don't feel like reaming the hosels? I've talked to a few local clubfitters about reshafting my irons and they always seem to want to ream them to .370 -

Rick,

The project X shafts dont get tip trimmed anyhow, so there is no point in this case. I will simply buy the PX taper tips. I was originally going to swap my rifle flighted shafts out of my CER heads but then I decided to keep that set as a back up since I hit them really well anyways.
So in this case it just simply isnt worth the trouble.

Thanks Lyle - if they don't get tip trimmed it just doesn't make sense with the PX shafts

other than that, there's nothing wrong with reaming though right?

No reaming is fine. You lose a little weight and it is a bit time consuming and messy, as long as you have a proper reaming bit and good drill press everything should be fine.
