Summary:
I tried several iron sets before settling on the Fusions. I'm very pleased with the performance of these irons - they are forgiving, long, and high. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a good game, but not yet good enough for blades.

Summary:
After playing with BB x12's since they came out in the 90's I've tried all the other BB "x" versions when they were introduced. I never found one that was an improvement over what I had. Having just turned 65 this year I decided I needed a graphite shaft because I had lost feel with the uniflex steel shaft. I tried Taylormade, Nike, G5s and the BB x18 with both graphite and steel. None of them impressed me. I had dismissed the Fusion because of the price but demo'd a 6 iron with the Nisson NP90 unflex steel shaft instead of the Callaway Uniflex shaft. It was great! I had been unhappy with the bore thru shaft because the lie angle can't be changed without sending them back to the factory. I always felt that my old clubs were too flat based on my ball flight. I ordered these 1 degree upright with an extra wrap on the grips and have had them about 3 weeks. From the first shot they have been great. The best irons I have ever hit, much less owned. They go straight and are about a club longer than my old clubs. I still have to fight my tendency to aim a little left because of so many years of playing my fade. I now aim at the pin. The long irons are so easy to hit I gave my old 5 wood away. Yesterday I played a different course since my regular course was closed. I hit the pin twice on my second shot on par 4s and hit it close for a gimme birdie on a par 3. If you can stand the price they are well worth it!

Customer Service:
Deivery was a problem but my pro called them several times and it took an extra 10 days from when they were supposed to arrive. They blamed it on the shaft supplier but who knows. Anyway it was worth the wait.

Summary:
Upon returning to the game last year, I decided to start the year with new equipment. I had been playing with T.A.845's for about 15 years and figured this would be a good time to enhance my game with the new technology. Well, after spending 6-8 weeks each, with several different sets, my almost 10 month quest ended with the fusions. Being one that tended to shy away from a club such as these because of the quirkiness of the touted science. Well, I wish that I had found them sooner. I would have had more fun playing the last 10 months and saved alot of money. These clubs have a great feel to them and produce shot after shot. I do find the titanium face to be hot and the clubs themselves tend to quiet a draw/fade, which works for me as i tend to get in trouble from time to time with a draw that dosen't stop til' it hits something. Some of the reviewers state that the shot pattern is high and the shafts tend to add to the trajectory. Well as with all new golf equipment, that tends to be the manufacters objective, however these hit lower than the Ping G2's and Callaway's
x-tour with s300 shafts for me. I hope to regain my 5 handicap for 06' and maybe do a little better. I now know that I have the equipment that can perform, any problems are all me. These irons I would recommend to anyone out there with a repeatable swing and looking to have the option to work the ball, I'd say from scratch to a 20. Anything higher in handicap and I'd look at super game improvement clubs. There worth their retail price and then some.
