Nakashima NP-1 Project X 6.0 Summary:
These irons are as good as any player's CB out there and better than most. I have played/owned most major OEM player's cavities and this is my first custom built "Component" set. Component is in parathesis for a reason. You can't just buy the heads from the dealer like a true component company. Nakashima puts the club building responsibilty in a true club builder's hands, not on an assembly line. That's what makes them truly custom. They also force you to get a proper fit. Mine are fitted with Project X 6.0 shafts. Frequecy matched and spine aligned. These are Awesome!! I can hit any shot I need with these and the feel is outstanding. I'll only agree with the one previous poster on one issue. Resale value and that's only because most are drawn to the big OEM's because of the money spent on Tour player endorsements and advertising. If you are serious about your game and in the market for a new set of irons, put Nakashima on your list of irons to try. Most Nakashima club builders will glady send you demo's. That's how I tried mine out. I can't say enough good things about Nak products. Top quality all the way. I aso hit the NX-1's along side the NP-1's. VEry nice rions as well. Softest feeling cast club I have ever hit. They are a little more forgiving, but not by much. Also a very nice iron. Customer Service:

Nakashima NP-1 Summary:
These irons looked beautiful but I was afraid they would be too hard to hit. I was very wrong. I have some friends who shoot in the high 80s and they feel like they are considerably more forgiving than the acclaimed Callaway irons. Very sweet feel and a great look behind the ball. I've played Mizunos which are very good, but they are definitely no better, if as good, as these. Similar Products Used:
All the OEM models.

Nakashima NP-1 Satin Summary:
This set of irons are for the decent ballstriker. A players iron with a small head and a topline on the thin side. Offers some forgiveness, a little more than a blade but not enough if you are not a decent iron player (I don't go by handicaps since most loose strokes from 100 yards in and can still be great iron players).
These irons are way overpriced. Most places charge $799 for base level dynamic golds. Don't kid yourself, these are just component heads built to the strictest tolerances (weight, lofts, lies). Sure, the quality and craftmanship puts Nakashima to the top of the non-OEM list, but one can find better bang for the buck elsewhere.
The only other value I see in purchasing these is the fact that they can be built custom. If you find a dealer who will actually fit you in person, this set might be worth your while.
These heads remind me of the 04 Taylormade RAC CB's. Plays just like them and at twice the cost of what you can pick up a set on ebay.
Be prepared to loose your shirt on resale if you don't like them, these don't hold value too well. Customer Service:

I'm a ho, by definition, I've bought and sold almost everything.
