I'm making this topic a year too late really, but I've just been thinking about my irons lately. I'll explain as briefly as I can.
Nearly a year ago my 30th was coming up, my dad asked me what I wanted from them, and as I'd been playing golf a lot more regularly for a few months I said I wanted a new set of irons (I was using some old starter set Slazenger ones). Nowadays I read up on different clubs and equipment, but a year ago I didn't have any knowledge on it, so we basically just walked into American Golf and bought a decent-looking new set off the shelf that weren't too expensive - ended up choosing Callaway Warbird irons, which cost a shade under £300.
At the time I figured that as a reasonably priced set on general sale lots of people would be using them - but in nearly a year of using them myself I've never seen anyone else using them. I never see anything about them online either. From your signatures on here none of you are using them either. There's barely any information about them online (I recently had to email Callaway to find out what the lofts of them are - for the record they are quite strong-lofted, the 5 iron is 23° for example). The shafts say 'uniflex' which seems unusual to me - again, a year ago I knew nothing of regular and stiff flex, but I still don't know what uniflex is really - halfway between the two??
Basically what I'm asking is what do people know about these irons? Are they meant as starter clubs, or game improvement? Are they just complete crap? :lol: I just looked on the American Golf website and can't see them there so they appear to have stopped selling them now. But I've just seen some on ebay, these are the ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Callaway-...940277?hash=item33d355aff5:g:r~0AAOSwt~RZdFZj
