Look at the first page of this topic. It's a little ways down the page.

 

Thanks, I had seen the unboxing and didn't realize it was basically a continuation.

Everyone needs to go check out the awesome header that MBP made for my review, it's pretty slick (it's the first pic in the actual review).

 

A: That's well done

 

B: Someone's bored on vacation eh?

MBP- very well put together review. Very interesting with the controllability or lack thereof on the shorter irons.

Sweet photoshop skills too!

First let's address workability; it's there but in minimal amounts. I can hit a fade or draw but neither goes more than 3 yards. If you want a hook or a slice you'll need to be flailing and stepping through the shot.

 

Are you calling my swing a flail? :P

I managed to bend the 8i a good 8-10 yards. Too much snap in my wrists that day though.

 

Lovely written review and nice pics!

The short irons that looked like they may draw or fade just fluttered like a knuckle ball and went straight. Hence me saying push or pull.

Very nice write up guys. Sounds like these clubs deserve a very serious consideration.

Went to golf galaxy today to demo the 7 vs my 7. Needless to say I walked out with a dozen balls. I was hitting my 7 155, and I was hitting the rocketbladez 7 175-180. Obviously it has 3.5 degrees less loft, but still, they are some long irons!

Wait til you get the wedge & AW on the course. I was putting up 9800

+ spin rates.

9800!?!?!?! Spin like that will rustle the jimmies on that ball so much you have to put it past the green and let it spin back! That's nuts!

And that's with the Callaway HX Bite's they were using there

Where were you testing them? You should have brought the rbz 7 to golf galaxy to test against their rbz 7 for the golf balls! It would probably be so good it's 17 yards longer than itself.

That woulda rocked. Sadly no golf galaxy up here

Only one in Michigan, and it's within reasonable driving range. I'd sooner buy clubs from the local shops though, much cheaper and better service.

In Canada we get golftown and if they run the promo I'll just grab my balls. Already proved 22 yard gain with a 5

I only got a chance to try the 7 iron, so I only saw the distance gain on that. Is the yardage gap consistent on all the clubs? Seeing as it is a 22 yard gain with a five, it would have to be relatively similar increases in all the clubs. It would almost seem like on the lower irons they wouldn't perform that much better due to the absence of the velocity slot and the more typical lofts on the 9 pw and gw.

Exactly what I said in my review. There's a noticeable increase when you get into the slotted irons

Now that I think of it I do remember you saying that... Sorry. Is there something you do to compensate for that?

Very funny, I mean having like a 20 yard gap between 9 iron and 8 iron.

Did you have a chance to do a gapping analysis on the monitor? I'm curious just how big the gaps get between irons in the 4 to 7 range, if the 8-GW are the expected 8-10 or so.

I laught at your claims to fight a zombie apocalypse when most of you can't stand up to a Spider
