Hi guys has anyone hit the new benross htx type r irons?
If anyone has what are your thoughts?
I tried them today and was very surprised
 
Rick Shiels has done a review and he was very impressed especially how far he was hitting them.

He also makes sure everyone knows they are "Benross" as they are not one of the major brands.
 
Tried both benross htx and htx type r today against srixon z355, ping g, Taylormade m2 and rsi1 and the benross htx type r out performed them all only the ping g came close
 
Went to the local AG but they didn't stock them and said they weren't intending to. Said that AG were dropping that brand this year so not sure how many others will stock.
 
Got them at my club and was very impressed with them.The type r driver is very good also. Why benross is so cheap is because they don't sponsor tour players.
 
spend a bit more on something else, very poor build quality, I received my new type r irons with ferules damaged, they have clearly been put together with them damaged could not be missed but sent them anyway, all the shafts and stepping are just random lengths, customer service don't care and refuse to put then right,

My son is having lessons at a local course (Sturminster Marshall) and the club owner / pro Mike Dodd uses and sells the Ben Ross range and they seem excellent, lots of good word of mouth and user experiences.

I would have been tempted if I hadn't picked up some super cheap Wilson D100 clubs new from my local AG that shut down.

Build quality and look is very nice and they hit well also seem excellent value.

not my experience at all, out of 7 irons 6 arrived with ferules damaged, non of the shafts steps down the correct length not even cut straight, they've been back once and told they would be fixed but were sent back exactly the same untouched, so if you get them check carefully,

also they are worthless used

Not a big fan then?

I definitely couldn't recommend them, cheap shouldn't mean poor build quality with no customer service,

I've replaced them with Ping G the feel and quality is so much better and stepping is exact, all anyone says it the Benross go along way but that's not everything and Ping G are about the same but more consistent,

Shame you've had a bad experience but in general they are a very under rated brand. I've hit them in the past and found them very good and no problem with the quality
 
I've got the standard HTX irons, hybrid, fairways and driver. I switched from my old Adams Idea A12os after winning the driver and being very impressed with it. I tried them and ordered at a local pro shop after playing in a comp there, the fitting has led to changed iron set up which has helped to eradicate a bad shot tendency.

Turning to the clubs themselves, they have been built exactly to spec. No issues with the build and the components are top notch (KBS steel shafts, Mitsubishi Rayon Kuro Kage graphite, Lamkin grips). Not only that, I now have CB 5 & 6i which are proving to be very effective weapons.

In my opinion and experience, they are excellent clubs and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
 
It is tough when a person gets a bad experience and you can't blame them on being negative but we in our lives have all had really shitty service or goods from somewhere.

Look at any review and not matter how good the product there will always be some 1 star ratings...
 
I must say the HTX iron set I have here in my house look superb and I wouldn't hesitate in taking them out on the course, and I'm a huge Mizzie fan.

Well if they are as cheap as they are to buy, they're hardly going to get you a great trade in value, are they? :rolleyes:

I've had a set, no complaints whatsoever, good enough to get my name on the clubhouse wall with :thup:
 
I'm looking at changing to these possibly in the new year unless I find some decent value G25's. Our pro stocks the HTX and raves about them so might try get fit for them and maybe the driver too.
 
I actually tried these out yesterday in AG and out of those, M2 Irons and some Mizuno JPX EZ's, I found the Benross the best to hit.

I decided in the end to stick with my old Nike VRS irons though and although I got a bit more distance with the Benross and M2, they didn't feel as solid to hit.
 
I use the benross hotspeed, and would like to add that the build quality on them has been excellent. I tried a load before I bought and these just felt the best in my hands. Love them and I can't recommend them enough! One thing to add is that the angles are usually quite strong.
