  Is there any way to see more than the last few posts of a product review?  I'm thinking of upgrading to the I-15 irons from the G-10's and in reading the reviews, it only shows the most recent.  I would like to read the reviews from the players with extensive use of the clubs.  And for those that care to answer, specifically on the I-15, is the higher precision worth trying to deal with the faster meter?

  Thanks

  Everybody will have their own opinion but as far as I'm concerned the G10's are a far better club to play than the i15's.

  Used the i15's for a few months with some success but was losing too many balls as a result of very minor misses of the exact ding.

  G10's are not quite so unforgiving ...

  imho!

  What a lot of people do is just put up a post like this one, entitled for example "i15 vs. G10," and see what people say.

  Exactly. In other words, a lot more than the comments section in the pro shop. Also, the pro shop comments are vetted for approval. I imagine they let through negative reviews, but maybe throw out the ones that are scurrilous and non-constructive ('piece of shite club' etc.)

  I have used the i15s since the day they were launched switching from the G10s. Previously to that I played with Raptures and even had a spell with the Taylor Made Tour Preferred. There is no comparison between the i15s and the other clubs mentioned, as far as my own experience is concerned. They simply are the most accurate irons available in the Pro Shop.

  There are plenty of the very top players who use G10s and do so better than I use i15s. Interestingly, 7 of the current monthly top ten money earners use G10s, 2 use i15s and 1 uses the Tour Preferred.

  My advice to you would be to get them and see if they work for you. Keep your G10s, hardly worth selling them back anyway. The difference in meter speed  is quite substantial but it's not what it used to be with the introduction of the Callaway ball. Give them a bit of time though, adapting to the increased speed does not happen overnight.

  Good luck.

  They're the only set with a 215 yard iron. That's a big plus.
