I put two rounds under my belt while in Florida with my new sticks.
Here is my review: (I'm a man of few words)

LOOKS: What can I say, 9.5/10 (10/10 would have been the black face)

SETUP: Have them shafted with Accra Tour Steel 4.5's, cut to TLT Series 6.

DURABILITY: Hit a 6 iron out of a trap and there were no marks on the sole whatsoever, so I assume they will stand up quite well overall.

PERFORMANCE: After reading some of the comments about these being "players" clubs, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to hit them very well, since I am about an 18 capper. Summit has done his job well!!! I really had no problem hitting these heads. Address setup is great and they don't look small at the end of the shaft. I am a high ball hitter and this is why I chose to shaft them with the Accras instead of the GS75 shafts I have in my old set. The ball flight was perfect for me. Never got too high. Trajectory was great too. went up then flattened out. I played in some serious wind that I should have had trouble with, but they actually held their line remarkable well. I could actually aim at the green with a 30 mph crosswind and they would mostly find it. Compared to my old set, the new Prophets are more accurate. Distance may be slightly less, but I am not sure because of the wind. This would be expected due to the shaft change. Contact feels very solid and when pured, well...OUTSTANDING

OVERALL: These are NICE sticks! Kudo's to Jeff and the boys at Hireko for making this head. If you want to try a new club, you won't be disappointed with these whatsoever.

I just built a 7 and PW of the Dynacraft tours. I shafted them with TTDGX100 and put Sensicore inserts in the shafts. I am also using the new Lamkin Ndur Black and white grips.

I will advise how they hit and what my findings are. If they hit as good as they look I am in luck!

OK. I finally got around to hitting these new Dynacraft Tour irons. Due to a case o tennis elbow/golfers elbow and the cold snowy weather

. It has been hard to find the right time to try these.
First thing. The looks of this head are outstanding. They really set up nice behind the ball. The different colored face aids in alignment.
When I started htting these I could tell my swing just wasn't there. It has been abot 3 months since I picked up a club. Once my swing started getting grooved I could really start appreciating these heads. Center impact feels absolutely solid but a soft feel. Toe mishits do have a harsher feel but not too bad. As far as distance loss goes, it is a very forgiving head.
Two other notes. I used the new tacki mac Itomic grip on the 7 iron. It is a Tacky grip but nothing really special. I used the Lamkin Ndur on the PW. This is a really nice grip. When I first gripped it I felt like my hands were really in a good position. I really felt like my hands were in the right position and locked in.
In closing. Believe the hype. The new Dynacraft heads are that good!
