Summary:
The original chipshot.com was a victim of the dotcom bust but perhaps one might find these LX300s on the used club market.

These clubs are distinguished by their extreme perimeter weighting and their high weight. Those expecting these to feel about the same as most other modern cavity back clubs might be in for a surprise when they feel how heavy these are. If you want the maximum perimeter weighting and can handle or desire a higher than normal weight, you may consider the LX300. They also have a very thick top line.

As for performance, they ARE quite forgiving on less than ideal strikes. I have not experienced any vibration problems as did the other poster.

I have subjected my set to pretty intensive use over the last year and have NOT experienced any durability problems.

Perhaps the biggest weakness in my eyes is the huge distance gap between the 45 degree PW and the 55 degree SW, but many other iron sets have this problem too.

Summary:
Just started back playing. I like the customize clubs. The irons are really head heavy. Off hits are paid for on vibration to the arms. Large face provides a large area of sweat spots but just coming back playing, the off hits send shocks to the arms really bother me. I'm only 21 too. I only got the 7 irons on their promotion deal for $35. I don't think I will get the whole set. I rather opt for smaller head and lighter club with less shock to the arms. At $299 I can find better clubs.
