    I picked one up at 13 degrees with a senior shaft. It’s a lovely driver nice and easy to hit and at £179 a bargain. Ultimately as a 41 year old beginner it seems an easy way to get a nice driver that works.

    You are by far the most relevant reviewer on UA-cam, reviewing lesser known makes / 2nd hand equipment will encourage more people into the game. Why not try setting a bag up for under £800 and putting it into play and see where your scoring goes, up or down.

I tested a few, but for the price and performance it was a no contest. I was hitting it high on the launch monitor, it was helping reduce slice considerably. Thanks so much for you video, helped so much. Can’t wait for next time on the course

      I own 7-9 of the LP Irons and as a 40+ handicapper and a slow swing speed, I can tell you, they do work, if you have the length right. I made that mistake of having these LP irons too long for me and I'm kinda regretting it. Although, I did hit a 7 iron to within 15 feet on a par 3 at 135 yesterday so I honestly can't complain too much about that (3 putted but eh). You literally couldn't fat these clubs if you tried. And I did. It still carried pretty decently. Not as long as a good hit but about a half swing. All I'd say is get the length right. If you get that length right, you won't do what I do and top the daylights out of it. The irons are very, very solid.
