I picked up a TS-1 7 iron from GW after reading about this head and played several rounds with it and then finished the set after really liking the club. My previous set was Apex 19 and before that other players distance irons. My interest in trying something new was I noticed how the past several years that while my irons were going further, I didn't feel like I had the type of control and accuracy I used to have. 

After playing with the full set now for a few rounds, for me, these are really quality heads. They feel really soft and quiet on a reasonable strike. I'm playing in cooler weather so I can't tell for sure, but they feel half club shorter than a typical players distance club, which I'm okay with. They took a few rounds to break in the shaft (I have a theory that all new shafts require a few rounds to loosen up a bit - have seen this in new iron and woods shafts, but not in used shafts I've bought), these things feel really good. They launch a bit higher than I thought and are reasonably forgiving. I'm about a 7 and my iron play used to be the best part of my game, and hoping something that asks a bit more of each strike results in more consistent and accurate iron shots. I think I'll always keep these no matter what I might else buy and subsequently sell. I still can't get over how little these cost in relation to the quality.

Also, I'm never offended by what anyone says about what I like or what I play. For the past 3 years I've been trying to get rid of a Snake Eyes 58 degree and I've tried so many alternatives and have played Vokey, Cleveland and recently Callaways, and I can't find anything that works better for me than that Snake eye. It's the best club I've ever used in not trying to get it to go far, but getting it to go shorter distances. So those 30, 40, 50 yard feel shots are why that thing has not been able to leave my bag, as much as I try to move on from it. 

Glad to hear they made the cut.  I enjoyed the samecfeel, trajectory and sound you mentioned.

Out of curiosity, you should check the TSW wedge they sell.  I've been very pleased with them in my bag.
