I don't know where to start on how great these irons are. I played 3-4 days a week for almost 20 years but quit playing 15 years ago when I had my knee replaced. I thought I would never get back into golf but my boys, now 22 & 25 are playing all the time so I thought I would try and take back up to play with them. It only took me a month to get addicted again so now I am playing 2-3x per week. I am 57 years old.
Now to the irons. I originally ordered because the cost was great and reviews were great but I did not know if I would like playing golf again so why spend more money? Now that I have played with them I would not trade them for anything or any brand. They are beautiful, love the top line, the look at address but the best part is the feel, consistency & accuracy. I am striking the ball as good as I was when I stopped playing. I was worried about buying the SV2 & PD1 Combo thinking the PD1's may be harder for me to hit.
Now to customer service. I love the SV2 & PD1's but the PD1's were just so great I wished I had just ordered a full set. I reached out to Haywood asking if I could buy the heads only for the PD1's in the 5,6&7 and put in my shafts thinking they would say no but I got an immediate response saying of course. Amazing service. One of my boys has started hitting them and loves them so he is getting a set for Christmas.
Last thing. After falling in love with golf again I bought a Ping G430 10k for $600 and a Lab Putter for $600 and then spent $1200 for new Fujikura Axiom Shafts for these Haywood irons (I had ordered Regular shafts assuming that is what I needed at 57 and ended up I needed Stiff). I just share that part because I am no longer playing with the Haywoods because of the price, but because they are the best irons I have ever hit.
Fun pics. Went to Golf Shop Simulator last weekend to dial in my distances. The green was my 9 iron (135 yard average) and the purple was my 7 iron (165 yard average). I don't hit is as far as my boys but I hit it a lot straiter.
