Blake rated this product on 12/06/07 I purchased these irons after hitting the Callaway X-20's in a golf store. I have been very impressed so far with the Excel Strong irons. They feel quite similar to the Callaway irons, and they appear to be high quality clubs. I am very happy with PineMeadow's service and products, so I just bought my wife a new driver from this site today!

Sean O'Sullivan rated this product on 10/23/07 Just received my clubs and went to my local course this evening and played a few holes with them. My initial impressions are that the clubs are beautifully built and are high quality. Very nice feel when striking the ball and easy to hit. My mishits definitely less awful than with my existing clubs (Wilson Fat Shafts). Distance does seem to be a club shorter - but maybe this is due to the fact that it was a cool (11 degrees centigrade) damp evening - late October in Ireland! So far so good - will update after playing a few rounds with them. When I was ordering the clubs I called Pinemeadow to ask a few questions and my call was answered on the first ring and questions answered professionally & courteously by Scott - 1st class customer service. When I read most of the reviews on this site I wondered if they were written by Pinemeadow staff but my experience so far tells me that this is a class outfit offering great value and service. Thanks. Sean O'Sullivan

Duncan rated this product on 10/07/07 I checked out Callaway X20 at my local golf store and was taken aback by the $1200 price tag (CDN). After reading all the positive reviews on Pinemeadow, I thought what the heck, for $200 bucks I'll try them out. I ordered Excel strong irons and the #3 Excel strong hybrid. I received my clubs on time and I was very impressed with the way the looked and felt. Very comparable to X20's. I've played a few rounds with these clubs and have not noticed a huge difference in my score. I did shoot a 44 on the front nine of a very challenging course in my area(the Oaks of St.George) only to see my score on the back nine rise to my usual 58. These clubs are easy to hit, but if you really want to improve your score, take some lessons. I signed up for a series of 3 lessons in my hometown after my second round with these clubs and hopefully will be breaking 90 by next spring. Am I impressed with these clubs?...Yes. Would I buy from Pinemeadow again?...yes. Would I recommend Pinemeadow to others?...Absolutley. Why pay all that money for brand names? Thanks Pinemeadow.

Michael reviewed this product on 09/30/07 Love my new irons. They are very forgiving and have a great feel to them. The higher loft and better spin have really helped my game. Thanks Pinemeadow.

T Firuz reviewed this product on 09/11/07 I received my irons in Switzerland yesterday July 10, 07 a day earlier than expected and I was happy to have them. Tried the irons that particular afternoon at the driving range, needed about 30 odd balls before I was able to hit it right. Once I've got used to it, a 5 irons was hitting around 140 meters (152 yds) and it was going straight. The distance is there and the irons feel good. Thanks for a good service and a prompt shipment by Pinemeadow and UPS.
