I have several problems with my swing that I am aware of & have been working on it during the winter when the weather allows, my 1st problem is I tend to flip my wrists at the ball & don't retain my wrist lag for long enough at impact, & my 2nd problem is my lack of weight transfer.

So I bought one of these over the Christmas period.

They do a wedge, 8 iron, 7 iron & a 5 iron.
I bought the 8 iron as it was on special offer & it didn't look quite as difficult to hit as the 7 iron or the 5 iron.
After using it for a couple of sessions, I have to say that I am rather impressed with it.
When you strike the ball correctly (compress it) you get a lovely long ball flight, but it you don't get your hands in front of the ball at impact or transfer your weight correctly the ball just skittles along the ground.

The problem with modern GI clubs is that they do let you get away with less than perfect shots, where as this club does not, plus it saves my other clubs from a lot of wear & tear.

So, if you are one of those people who suffer from a lack of weight transfer, or you are a wrist flipper, or you don't get your hands in front of the ball at impact, then maybe this will improve your game?
 
I watched a guy hit one of these on the range out in the US and they look pretty good as a practice club but would say he also hit a few "daisy cutters" when he didn't hit it properly.
 
As I demonstrated tonight this thing is eaaaaaaaaaaaaasy to hit!

Either that I got lucky with a one hit wonder shot!!
