Golf Irons Testing

Has anyone tried the Wilson Ci7 irons yet?

I saw that they were rated 5 stars and #1 in Golf Magazine's Club Test 2008. They are right in my price range... any opinions?

After hitting almost everything - Ping, Cleveland, Mizuno, Adams, Calloway, TaylorMade, Nike, and more - I hit the Wilson line. The Ci7’s blew me away. They are forgiving, but you can still make shots with them. I could immediately control a slight draw or fade and they were high and long. I also hit the Di7 and the Pi7. If you are a 6 or below, they Pi7 will appeal to you more. The Di7 was a little too offset for my taste. The Ci7 is the perfect solution for my game - a 15 handicap who could be a 10 with more consistent ball striking. These have me hitting the ball with the confidence to go for more pins instead of my usual bail out.

Rock Bottom's got them for $499 (http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/wilson-staff-ci7-control-irons-set-steel.html), plus you can get 10% off by using coupon code RMNApril08 during checkout.

PowerBilt Air Force One Hollow N7 Nitrogen Charged Irons

$599.95

PowerBilt Air Force One Hollow N7 Nitrogen Charged Irons PowerBilt is turning doubters into believers. Skeptics scoffed last year when PowerBilt introduced the Air Forcce One: drivers, fairway woods and hybrids with club heads filled with nitrogen gas. They thought it was just another golf gimmick, until they tried it. Now, PowerBilt is introducing nitrogen-charged irons. And they are "ballistic" says Ross Kvvinge, president of PowerBilt. "There is a way to imp rove distance in irons, and we?ve figured it out," adds Kvinge. "By filling the iron head with nitrogen gas , we?ve been able to thin the face and create a much bigger sweet spot. The result is longer shots with more consistent spin rates no matter where you hit the ball on the face. So you not only get more distance, you get better accuracy, too." Kvinge points out that the technology goes beyond nitrogen. To maximize club-head speed, PowerBilt is using a proprietary Apollo steel shaft which weighs only 85 grams ? much lighter than a conventional steel shaft and slightly more than graphite. The shafts also have variable kick points. In the long irons thee kick point is low to promote higher trajectory. A mid kick point is used in the middle irons to promote both distance and accuracy, while the short irons utilize a high kick point for dead-on accuracy. In side-by-side testing against industry-leading irons, the Air Force One ? Air Foil consistently hit thee ball 10 yards farther with long-iron shots. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn?t have believed it," states Kvinge. The lofts are standard for modern-day irons: #4-21?; #7-311?; PW-45?. The sole width transitions throughout the set so each club produces desired playability and easy launch angles. T he top line gets thinner ass the set moves toward thee short irons. And the offset is progressive.
