PowerBilt TPS Iron set Golf Club

Very good cavity back irons,blade players would love these clubs,easy to work,soft feel,smaller heads-still very forgiving.This is the only iron that I have ever played with,including Pings,Callaways,TaylorMade,that I honestly felt like produced additional yardage.Would reccomend these to any golfer.

I've played cavity back irons before, but for the last several years, I've chosen to play Wilson FG-51 forged blades. Not many cavity back irons have impressed me, mainly because most of them have a thick top line and a bulky look when addressing the ball. I especially don't care for modern clubs with the plastic cavity inserts because they look too chintzy to me. But everyone has their own opinion. The PowerBilt TPS cavity back irons, have always impressed me and I fell in love with them back in 1991. They'd been on the market since 1988 with some slight variations each successive year. One thing I really liked was the availability of either an Advanced Player series or the Standard Series. The Advanced Player series did not have any offset and the Standard Series did. If you preferred no offset, PowerBilt had it. If you preferred an progressive offset, PowerBilt offered that too. The head design is clean and nicely rounded with a toe that's not overly high and a top line that is just slightly thicker than a standard blade. With the radius on the edge lines, the top line appears thinner than what it actually is. The grooves are nicely bordered with a dot pattern, that helps immensely with club alignment. The hosel is designed to blend into the heel of the iron in a very unobtrusive way, keeping the entire face in plain view. Some hosels are bulky and so close to the face, they make it easy to shank a ball. Not so with the PowerBilt TPS hosel, it attaches low and out of the way. The feeling you get when striking the ball is very, very solid. One or two hits and you'll be swinging easier than normal because you'll quickly realize your ball striking ability has improved with these irons. I've played Callaway S2H2 irons, Wilson Staff forged blades and many others and I've never played an iron that gave me as much confidence at address. PowerBilt is one of those companies that has flown under the radar for many, many years, building a very high quality golf club that matched any on the market. The lofts are slightly stronger than the old standard but not as strong as the Ping's and Callaway's of today. The PW specs out at 48 degrees and the 9 iron at 43 degrees so you can either add a 52 degree gap wedge or forget the gap wedge and just play a 54 degree sand wedge. Sad to say, Hillerich & Bradsby sold the golf club end of their business to a company that still produces under the PowerBilt name but in my opinion, they haven't come close to the quality of the PowerBilt's TPS irons of yesteryear.

The clubs are older, but are weighted to help my swing. I definately recommend them to any intermediate golfers..

I have really enjoyed my TPS Irons. I have used them all summer long and shot well with them. Compared to the price of some of the more known name brand manufacturers they cannot be beat.
